There you go. Astrophotography is simple isn't it!
Wiping EP's is not a problem Tej. If the coating was so delicate it came off that easily it would indicate very poor quality. Modern coatings are pret...
If you are regularly changing eyepieces then the easiest solution is to keep the caps on the eyepieces. If they fog in use then clean them (you should...
Well done for getting out there. The Ring Nebula I presume?
Your recent 'bargain' purchase highlights a fundamental issue that is all too common among astronomy retailers. This being not offering a customer any...
