hi Jason,
It doesn't help with settings etc: but I suggest that you have your tripod legs fully retracted, as the 130SLT is not a particularly stable
scope, and you don't want wind induced camera shake to spoil your images. Hanging something heavy under the accessory tray also helps to
create a more stable platform.
I am personally not in favour of beginner astrophotographers
controlling their scope from a laptop; I think that it is very important
to get up close and personal in the early days, and become thoroughly familiar with all your gear, and learn how to attach, remove, adjust,
and lastly, use it in a dark environment.
I hope I don't sound patronising, but it is just what I believe.
happy snapping,
raymo
