Hey Guys ,


just bought a scope on e-bay the other day:thumbsup: Its a 3 inch reflector & the model is Pheonix 76700 i think , it was only $ 80 bucks delivered but surprisingly good optics !:astron:

Given the stand is a little wobbly and the design is a bit tricky to "centre" objects - the scope produces surprisingly good images!:astron:

Im using an older iPhone5 attached to a camera - adapter on the scope with a shutter - realise cable but haven't had a chance to use that yet :)

Thank you for welcoming me to you're warm Forum!

Kind regards :)

Yes but people believe the hype when you are told you need to spend thousands on gear, you don't.

I am a believer in the fact that the gear is only as good as the person using it, and you have clearly shown what can be done, and, I am willing to bet that in a month YOU look back on these as poor images when you yourself improve on them 100% after experimenting and trial.

Well done :) :)

The mount only wobble because so far you have not done this
