Was the S30 Pro a good decision?
I already have the S50 as a smart telescope, an Omegon Advanced with Bresser GoTo mount and DSLR camera (Galaxy and Planetary), a Nikon D7000 with Skywatcher tracking mount (for Milky Way photography) and a Redcat 51 with an AM5 and a ZWO Asi2600 MM Pro Mono (for Nebulae). Now I've added the S30 Pro to my "arsenal" (as a second "toy" alongside the S50). Was that a good choice?

Seestar并没有成功锁死科技树
Seestar并没有成功锁死科技树。我的望远镜还在继续长大，预计下个周期会涨到14 公斤，远超我古老的赤道仪所能承受。但暂无更换赤道仪的打算，于是我开了个脑洞，OTA一定要随赤道仪指向天空吗？我不可以让天空静止吗？！这将是又一次脑洞大开的大胆尝试。不成功我不吱声哈哈😂

自制光轴调整注意事项之一
自制牛反望远镜的弯路之一……说出来让大家有问题的可以参考下。买了某师傅的150F4镜片，怎么调整光轴都不对，最后发现原来是中心标记不对，现在重新贴了就对了，星点对比如图，借助了下工具确认中心点…… 自带的标记不在中心，买过这个师傅镜片的应该看得出来，师傅用的三角标记 调整后位置，看得到原来的印，用厂里的投影仪确认过，基本在中心了。就是用手揭贴纸把镜片弄花了点…… 为了测试下是不是自己做的碳纤维桶的问题，还去上了个小型三坐标……碳纤维桶是用的夹心结构，内部放了泡沫夹心，整体厚度很厚，所以刚度很好。 调整标记后位置比较准了 没调整标记的，星点像飞机长了翅膀或者是3角形 没调整前的，星点像飞机 调整标记后M42一分钟单张，调整标记后好很多了，虽然还有点椭圆，可能和调焦和慧差镜有点关联吧 成都天气就一个小时数据叠加，虽然天气灰蒙蒙的。 最后来个全家福！

What does this collimation picture mean?
Tried to collimate my Maksutov, because something was off. I made it worse, so I gave it to a shop. After receiving it back everything was better than ever, but I noticed some echos (picture 1) and strangely repeating shapes (picture 2) when de-focussing on a far away street lamp. What is that? Just asking out of curiosity :-)

Rent telescope time on southern hemisphere
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has any good tips on where I could rent some telescope time on the southern hemisphere so I can get some images for the Messier challenge? I live way up north and it's difficult to get even equator located things because of my location, so all tips on where I could go online to rent time would be majorly appreciated!😊
