Well I am back from Vietnam and the first thing I do is set up my telescope that I just got. Hopefully I will get some time to play in the near future.

Congrats Scott.
I have a Celestron scope as well, but seem to have lost all accessories & everything apart from the scope & the tripod..
They don't seem to stock on spare parts here...
Good luck & i will join you sooner or later

Yeah that is my internet watermark, not too in your face?
I'm glad you can now answer a few questions for us! Cheese, man on the moon, green martians (or any color will do). Try to find a flag on the moon, I'd like that whole conspiracy theory put to rest
Haha I will try my best.
I haven't got her going yet mate, but tonight I may have a play.
Not that it really means much to me at this point but what sort of magnification do you get with that telescope? Can't wait to see the moon up close
Focal length is 1325 so not huge by any means.
He only wants it for the bedroom windows across town
haha funny man

Lets see what I can or can't do
She showed me her box one time while on liberty in Germany, but I had to pass. No telling where that box had been!

Cheers mate I am hoping to get out next week and do some testing, I do know that a dslr with battery pack is way to heavy for the motor so I may need to use my D600 only, or D800e but even then she struggles.

hi scott, a dslr may be too heavy. i'm unsure if you can add counter weight to an alt/az mount...say maybe on the front of the scope?if anyones interested i can throw videos on here too.you could prob do a piggyback mount on ur scope.
