Binoviewer

Posted By Sonya Ward

[COLOR="Blue"]Hello fellow stargazers
I am thinking of getting a inexpensive binoviewer. I guess I would like to hear pros and cons. Do they even work on scts? I have a Celestron 8" sct.

LX 200 Software

Posted By Sonya Ward

Hey astopals,
I have purchased a LX 200 10" here off astromart it is in transit. I have never owned one like this. Is there software that will run the telescope from my computer/laptop? I also have a starlight MX-7 camera I will be operating from the laptop from time to time.

Below Horizon message in a LX-200

Posted By Sonya Ward

[COLOR="Navy"]I recently purchased a 12" LX-200. I think I set it upcorrectly but when it keeps saying below horizon when Orion was right there. I could move the scope to see it. What did I do wrong? I checked my settings and they look ok.
Am I missing something? :S

Posted By Sonya Ward

Hey guys,

How does moon light effect our images? Can you image at all with it out? I know we can filter some light pollution.

Classic LX 200 Question

Posted By Sonya Ward

Hey astropals,
I could not get my scope to align for anything. I usually do a one or two star alignment and were in business but not last night. I did start polar alignment but it was trying to align with a star thats not up now. I just purchased a new battery today ,I hope that is all it is. This scope as been a dream to operate. Anything else I should check? Lost half the night last night fiddling with it. :S
