Well thought out piece of kit 29 August 2024 | Trevor
Last night was the first time out with the DSC. Its fitted to a 16 inch Dobsonian. Used Polaris as the first of the two star alignment (it stays still in the eyepiece) and Sirius for the second. We let the star drift along the reticule then hit the OK button when centred. Nice little confirmation tune and we were good to go. The software displays are straight forward and every object we went for was centred in the eyepiece when the numbers were close to zero on the display.
Cannot fault it. Its a brilliant piece of kit.
