Oh oh mb

#

Ok so

#

Basically, I love the calm and just you being outside

#

I'm constantly facisnated by the universe

hard musk Apr 9, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

The thing is I really want to take my scope out but the narrow field of Brie in my backyard makes me wanna just stay inside

#

And the thing is this time in Dubai is starting to get hot and the planets are just not out

dull cloak Apr 9, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

Using the 8se is a privelage as it is amazing

#

Get a camera

#

Trust me

hard musk Apr 9, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

I have a camera and a adapter but I can’t seem to see anything

#

Wait one sec

#

I will post some of my results

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:02 AM

#

#

Tips?

#

If you are using AA batteries, listen to the motors

#

Also, you can tell if the batteries are low if yoy move the telescope, and it keeps moving that direction even after you let go of it

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:04 AM

#

The thing is I use a cable it is way batter because I don’t have to keep changing the batteries

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:04 AM

#

Yeah use cable

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:04 AM

#

I have a better pic but I lost it

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:04 AM

#

Way better

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

I have to go I will talk tmrw cause I have school is 3 hours and I did not sleep pepeMeltDown

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

If you do use AA, you can tell if the batteries are low by listening to the motors. You can tell if they are low by listening to it

#

Alright bye

#

Danggg

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

Bye

#

@dull cloak last question I have troubles aligning my telescope do you have any tips I can use because I tried everything

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

Oh ok ok

#

I can help

#

When I first had my telescope

#

I had issues

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

Like what

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:11 AM

#

Look for the brightest str

#

like star align failed

#

heres the thing:

#

DO NOT USE 3 STAR ALIGN

#

USE AUTO 2 STAR

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:12 AM

#

Why?

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:12 AM

#

trust me

#

basically its a lot of technical stuff

#

but simplified,

#

auto 3 star just chooses the 2 best stars

#

tht you chose

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:12 AM

#

Ok but I tried that as well and it rarely worked

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

causing it to be less accurate

#

trust me try it again

#

but 2 star gives you a list of stars

#

you might have pressed the wrong stars honestly

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

Ok I thing it did not work because I was forced to align stars next to each other because of my backyard

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

try using aa for once

#

yeah that wont work

#

plus they have to be on the list

#

use an app

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

I use Stellarium

#

Or SkyView lite

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:14 AM

#

i usually go for polaris because i can accuratly find it constantly

#

stellarium better

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:15 AM

#

From my back yard the top of my neighbors house is blocking Polaris I usually go for Vega and another bright star

#

I will try it tomorrow and update you on my results

#

Thanks for all the help

dull cloak Apr 10, 2023, 12:17 AM

#

#

#

#

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:17 AM

Good scope but bad mount

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:28 AM

#

vagrant skiff Good scope but bad mount

The Mount is only good for visual but for astrophotography it is not good

#

Btw how do you rank up

vagrant skiff Apr 10, 2023, 12:29 AM

#

hard musk The Mount is only good for visual but for astrophotography it is not good

the mount really has drained my soul... I've got it to work somewhat... I replaced it with an AVX for a while but that was also an awful experince. I'm making my own mount instead

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

Oh ok good luck on your journey

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

hard musk Btw how do you rank up

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:30 AM

#

Oh ok

vagrant skiff Apr 10, 2023, 12:31 AM

#

hard musk Apr 10, 2023, 12:32 AM

#
