Re: Is the Celestron 127slt good for planetary photography?
celestron 127 is a Mak and is very good scope. it is also fairly light and good as a grab and go scope. At 1500mm focal length and f/12, it is very good for planetary viewing.

Re: WTB: Celestron Nexstar+ handcontroller
I checked the cable again and decided to do a DIY.. Got a Rj12 connector, a cable crimper.. Cut the cable, from where I suspected it was broken and crimped a new rj12 connector.
Attached to the port and viola it comes to life..

thanks SKSng.. I was told that though the mounts go down to 1deg, we need to use a pier to raise the mount so that counterweights dont hit the tripod. there are some wonderful youtube reviews which all say that az eq6 inherits the same performance as the eq6 R pro. I am not sure if tilting the mount...

I have a evolution mount whose hand controller is not working. On close inspection it appears that the HC cable is broken and hence not communica...
