Hi... So here's a simple ETX90 / LPI photo of the moon. 1 Frame, with a -tiny- bit of unsharp masking. Photos/LPI/Moon jpeg I posted it here in JPEG to save...
Generally, how good GOTO performance of the EXT-70AT. For whatever reason, my scope performs well, then the quality of the GOTOs decrease over time. Generally,...
Very nice photo, thanks for sharing it. I'm close to getting purchase permission for the LPI. What do you like/dislike about the package? How is the interface...

Hello, Congrats on your new toy! Looks good even at 1 frame. Have you had a chance to do any long exposure tests? If so how do they look? Thanks, James...
The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is to use a fairly long focal length eyepiece for a larger field of view. I normally use a 26mm (about...
