My #astrophotography game has been upped! I recently got a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTI mount to use with my Nikon Z6II and 70-200 f/2.8 lens.
The lens has an Arca Swiss tripod foot so it needed an adapter for the Vixen dovetail on the mount. I found an STL file on Printables and 3D printed one! It fits great and is more solid that I expected (with extra perimeters and infill).
I'm hoping for clear skies soon so I can try this out.

Storm clouds gathering over the fields. The calm before the rain.

A little scare, a quick fix
Our Sky-Watcher HelioStar 76Ha Solar telescope mounted on the observatory’s permanent mount. The focuser, for those new to these things, is operated via the silver knob seen at the lower end of the telescope. Photo by James Guilford.A couple of days ago, during a rather ambitious solar imaging session, the focuser on our Sky-Watcher HelioStar 76Ha telescope failed. And by failure, we mean the specialize diagonal that holds an eyepiece or camera would not stay put! The focuser would barely move the assembly and, once released, the diagonal plus camera would … zzzzzzip! … slide outward as far as it could. As one might expect, that sort of thing makes the telescope worthless. Disappointment? Disaster?
Contacting Agena Astro, the telescope’s seller, their rep. reminded us that the unit was still under warranty and supplied contact information for Sky-Watcher USA’s Support. Sending off an email describing the issue we waited a reply. “Sounds like the focuser might need to be adjusted,” came the reply a short time later. “Don’t worry we have a lot of adjustment with this focuser.” Adjusting three screws on the focuser, as instructed, and within five minutes the system was working good as new!
The Sun as it appeared via hydrogen-alpha light on April 24, 2026; as imaged using the Sky-Watcher HelioStar 76Ha Solar telescope, and a ZWO ASI monochrome camera. False color applied. Image by James Guilford.So there was a little scare. Excellent support provided by the retailer and the manufacturer. A quick fix. And we were able to take advantage of excellent conditions today, making images of our local star!

Hey #skywatcher fedi, just saw this when leaving work today #Perth #WesternAustralia
Is there some space thing going on or is this a conventional aircraft effect?

1/2 Notes on #UAP Discussions : There is no data. Why is there no data ?
#Skywatcher and others have coined and touted jargon like #CE5 and #Psionics to refer essentially to the idea that #NHI are primarily #Telepaths that do not rely on spoken language…
As an #evolutionary vector for advanced intelligence this of itself is not farfetched but…
One can see some immediate problems wrt this as a first contact mode…” oh yes he definitely said that they are from “Alpha Centauri “…or maybe he said… -

Regiones interesante en la #Luna.
Usando la cámara #ZWO ASI 224MC y el menor de los #Maksutov de #Skywatcher... El 90x1250.Grandes impactos sobre la superficie lunar... Y otros no tanto.
¿Cuántos cráteres tiene nuestro satélite natural?
Según Wikipedia, la #IAU reconoce 9.137 actualmente...

¿Tendremos oportunidad de captar en algún momento un impacto en directo?
