In any case , always glad to help


When I mentioned it took me 8 months to buy my first telescope, I was only into visual astronomy to start off my journey


Astrophotography came later after I took some pictures of the moon with my Iphone 6 into an eye piece using my 10" dob, then I was hooked !!!


Cheers

Woops, sorry for the mix up Martin & Marc.

I found some older forum posts comparing Pixinsight & Startools which was also useful. I’ll study Startools in the near future. I want to first get the basics right of mount & imaging setup. I’ll be using Stellarium as my planetarium connected via ASCOM to the mount. Some guy on YouTube also called Martin (Martin’s Astrophotography) made a couple of great videos on polar & star aligning via Stellarium.

Cheers,
Stéphane
