Hi Robin

I have posted the image of Jupiter above and I wish to delete the two posts that refers to Jupiter since it does not belong in "Posting in the Gallery". Unfortunately it does not allow me to delete these 2 posts myself. I have reposted it where it belongs. Thanks!

Cheers, Rick

I highly recommend the Explore Scientific Focal Extender 5x over Barlow. You can place the Focal Extender anywhere between the camera and scope without affecting or changing the magnification.

Hi Robin,
Posted above my first photo of Saturn in the Gallery. Feel free to make any comments, recommendations or additions for future posts. Thanks.

Hi Robin,
I wish to share my photos but I don't know how to download them from Flickr to the gallery. Please advise me.

Hi Robin, Are you planning in the future to include a tool enabling collimation for SCT perhaps similar to "MetaGuide"application program? As you know focusing and collimation are the most important aspects in astrophotography, and it would be an upgrade to incorporate a collimation tool f...

Hi Robin,
In the prior versions of SC ,experimental collimation was for Newtonian telescopes only. I have been using a program called Meta Guide to aid me in collimating. I now wonder in the Beta version if the collimation tool can now be used for all telescopes?
