Fitness Tracker Little Stars And Moon On Display

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

Although the most expensive of the fitness tracker watches, it worth it for serious trackers. Highly recommend.

I haven't used this under the stars due to lousy weather here in western NY state (snow three straight days! In mid-April!). But I have mounted my equipment: Nikon d5300 w/kit lens; Newer ballhead; move-shoot-move tracker; Skywatcher equatorial wedge. The setup is steady as a rock. When dealing with astrophotography I have read that tripods should be loaded to about two-thirds capacity. This tripod is rated for 30 pounds, so 18-20 pounds should work. I'm not worried about loading it with my SV60D, but I don't see me trying my SV90T with an Ioptron or Skywatcher tracker. Maybe an 80mm or 72mm. We'll see.

I'm just beginning to get into astrophotography. I was hesitant to put down $450 (including tax) for my first tracker, but the urge to get into deep sky photography was just too great. I am not disappointed. This is a great tracker. I've had the chance to use it a couple of times and I'm very impressed with it's performance. It's fairly simple to set up and align, and it tracks very well. Admittedly the first time setting it up took me a while simply because it was all new. I did have some difficulty finding Polaris through the polar scope. It helps to align it before it gets too dark since it can be difficult to differentiate Polaris from other stars once the skies are completely dark. Once it's set up and aligned (I use the Polar Aligner Pro app for Android to find the exact spot to line up Polaris in the scope) I can easily track stars for 5 minutes without any distortion at 16mm, and 3 minutes at 200mm focal length, without a guiding. I'm very pleased with the performance and look forward to getting a lot of use out of it.

I should have taken a picture with it. It is a nice visual eyepiece and I found it excellent when holding my eye with it screwed up just enough where my eyelashes do not touch it. I bought it for wide angle views and in my f/7 102mm triplet the Pleiades fit it at 37x, in my f/5 reflector it catches the whole cluster easily. With no coma corrector the Double Cluster in Perseus came in with barely any star stretching, but I had my primary mirror refigured to a high 1/12th wave of light and .98 Strehl and it was near perfect. I looked at M42 Orion Nebula with the Luminos 2.5x Barlow at 94x and felt like it was all around with a Neodymium Moon and Skyglow filter. Then looked at the 25% waxing Moon and the terminator came in near perfectly at 94x, but for Jupiter I'd need to change eyepieces though I can see the bands and moons I'd need a 4x or a 5x Barlow to zoom in closer, but this isn't a planetary eyepiece. Although in my f/7 102 Sigma Orionis was next to perfect with its multiple stars that at 94x all 4 stars fit in the FOV I tried other multiple stars and got all 3 of Mizar's stars as well. Excellent eyepiece and worked well with the Luminos Barlow as well, it was like they were made for each other (I think they were).

I use this remote for shots which require the camera to face up. Shooting the moon, stars. This remote is 95% accurate while autofocusing. You have to try a couple times but it finally gets it on the mark.

Great telescope, perfec for viewing planets, moon and stars. Simple to use, very precise. Great amateur choice. I have it for 3 years now, and use it a lot

A great scope for general use from wildlife to looking at the stars. Taking your own moon shots is also fun with the enclosed iPhone adapter.

Used for looking at the sky for a beginner astronomer - these are fantastic. Great for looking at the moon and stars. No real complaints it was pretty much as I thought it would be. Bit sloppy with sideways movement on a tripod but still for the money you can't go wrong.

I try to use this thing as often as I have a clear sky. looking at the stars and the moon with this is really awe-inspiring. I've been able to see a few nebulas and the moon looks great through it. I haven't seen any planets yet due to where I live and conditions. I thoroughly recommend to newcomers to the hobby.
