At some point while using the controller, I noticed that the ESC button wasn’t always working. I lived with it, but after a while, the left Ra button also started acting up and wouldn’t always connect. A red flag went up in my head – something needed to be done. It’s worth noting that the problems appeared right after the warranty period ended… coincidence?
The GOTO controller is extremely convenient and practical to use, when you want to look at interesting night sky objects, with your own eye through the eyepiece mounted in the telescope’s focuser. The ability to quickly select an object using the GOTO controller, is invaluable.

During an astrophotography session in outdoors, smowhere in the field, especially in spring or autumn, there is dew.
A wet lens makes photography impossible, so you need to take care of the possibility of drying the lens and even better, prevent dew during the photo session.
A heater-tape powered from the USB port of the powerbank, is ideal for reducing dew on the lens and even eliminating it totally.
