Hi guys,
I've just changed to an ATX85 and after a very informative exchange of emails with Neil and Gandytron, I went for the V1 which together with the FT1 and TLS APO arrived today.
It's obviously dark here at the moment as it's midnight, but it's playtime tomorrow so do any of you have advice over exposure settings - at the moment I just keep getting a message saying 'Menu or item not available on these settings' - I'm tempted to chuck it down the garden LOL but feel I will regret it in the morning when I have to clean the mud off (hey ho), so trying to keep calm; some help from you experts out there please?
Thanks in advance
Hi Horukuru,
Not really looking at taking vid. Please can you explain by what you mean re TLS?
Hi all,
Is it needed to remove the eyecup from a Swarovski 25-50 W eyepiece, in order to lose vignetting with the V1+10-30mm and a DCA adapter? I'd rather just screw it down, because I mainly use my ATS telescope to observe.

There is no need to remove the eyecup.
Neil.
After watching some reviews on youtube, I'm wondering if there is enough space for the external zoom when you connect it directly to the DCA. Is that true? Would the 18,5mm lens be a better choice?
Dear Neil, and all,
I own a D7100 and have a 35 mm f1.8 lens. I also own a V1 but recently managed to break (not sure how?!) the 10-30mm kit lens.
I have just bought a swaro UCA adapter and balance rail for my Swaro 65mm scope/25-25x ep combo.
Should I use the D7100 or the V1 for digiscoping? I've not tried with the D7100, but the V1 seemed to work OK when I tried it before, and I'm kind of keen to keep the D7100 with a telephoto prime lens on it.
If I use the V1 is the 11-27.5mm a better option that the 18.5 mm for digiscoping?
Thanks,
Dave
Dave,
Either the 11-27.5 or the 18.5 will do a good job but I would lean towards the 18.5. Keep the D7100 for the other stuff.
Neil.

If I use the V1 I need to buy a new lens, so is the 11-27.5mm a better option that the 18.5 mm for digiscoping?

I just ordered the Kowa DA10 with nescessary adapters. Plan to use it with a V2, 18,5 prime and my 883. Will it be doable without extra support for the camera?
Edit: I have the new 25-60W eyepiece.
