Yay this is the best Jenga ever! The colors of the blocks are simply delicious.
All star telescope went above and beyond to make sure I got my order after a bit of snafu with the delivery. I appreciate a company that cares about their patrons. Thank you!
Have only used it a few times, but very easy to use. Impressive results for such a small scope. Easy to take anywhere.
A month ago I purchased the Skywatcher Wave 150i and recently had an opportunity to test it out for 5 nights. It was purchased to take to dark sites and it was chosen because of its light weight, portability and ease of setup. The mount itself requires no assembly, and once I get the proper base for it, should attach easily to an EQ6 tripod. Although strain waves aren't as sensitive to balance as traditional mounts, I think it still best to get as close as possible. The 150i has locking **** on both the RA and DEC axis that can be loosened to allow a small amount of rotation so balance can be adjusted. Polar alignment is easy, as the Alt/Azimuth adjustment **** are smooth and quite precise. A QHY Polemaster was used to complete the polar alignment. Imaging was done it with a Televue NP101is and a QHY268M camera. The mount was controlled through GreenSwamp Server and N.I.N.A, the connection process is quick (compared to some other mounts I have) In addition to the usual mount controls, particularly useful is the Auto Home feature, which ensures the mount is at optimal home position. Ph.D. 2 and a QHY 50mm F4.8 guidescope/QHY5III200M were used for autoguiding, and after running the Guiding Assistant, accuracy was between 0.5" to 0.8" with a smooth guiding curve. Images showed round stars and no exposures were lost due to unexpected guiding excursions. This mount is an excellent performer and I would definitely recommend it. And as always, interacting with All-Star Telescope for the purchase and pickup was an excellent experience.
Got an old rock tumbler, and All-Star had everything I needed and kept me off the usual websites. Very pleased!
Recently bought some tumbling media and Sodalite to try out, on the final stage now but so far the sodalite looks amazing
I can’t recommend the S50 enough. Easy to set up and master. Takes impressive images. Intuitive app. Unbeatable price for an all in one astrophotography scope and camera.
I see this is discontinued - good! From the one that I bought to the others that were donated to the RASC loaner program, the wheel switch breaks after a year of normal wear and tear.
Ive only cab polished one surface so far... But the results were spectacular. Waiting to free up a tumbler to start a full batch... Waiting is the hardest part 😂
After ordewring a Seestar S-50 last year, i decided to try the s-30. the deep sky pix are neeter and easier to pinpoint with the S-30 than the S-50, however the S-50 does a better job at the solar system level.
ordering was easy and quick, would surely buy here again
Thanks
Mico...
Thanks for reaching out. The focus **** appears bent although it doesn't seem be binding when turning. We had to install a shim under the backend of the finder scope mount to get enough adjustment in the finder scope so as to achieve alignment with telescope optics. Objects viewed in the eyepiece shift when turning the focus **** so maybe alignment needs to be done? I can send pictures is you are interested.
I really like this eyepiece at looks extremely sharp and the colour is amazing it’s a perfect planetary eyepiece the eye guard is also easily adjustable and comfortable
Hello. We are having trouble with clarity on this camera. Any suggestions?
Other than that, doing business with you has been great! Appreciated the extra message when item was delayed!
There was assembly scratches to the inside of the eye piece. Very poor quality control from Baader. All Star have ordered me a replacement but is out of stock so 4 week wait. They have allowed my to use the eyepiece while the new one arrives which was very nice of them
Looking forward to tumble those. The colour is perfect and I like the size of the pieces.
