NGC 6541 (GCL 86 or ESO 280-SC4) – is a globular cluster in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. It is estimated to be around 14 billion years old. 6.3 [mag]. Distance from Sun 24,5 tly.
Brightest star in the northern constellation of Lyra. Vega has been extensively studied by astronomers, leading it to be termed “arguably the next most important star in the sky after the Sun”. Vega was the northern pole star around 12,000 BC and will be so again around the year 13,727, when the declination will be +86°14′. Vega was the first star other than the Sun to be photographed and the first to have its spectrum recorded.
Example of correct focusing of optics attached to a camera. The publication includes additional helpful information such as: Basic facts about Vega (Alpha Lyrae), The significance of Vega, Why Vega is ideal for focusing, The operating principle of the Bahtinov mask, How to identify ideal focus.
M92 is a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Hercules. M92 is at a distance of about 26,700 light-years away from Earth.
It is a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster. When viewed from Earth, the galaxies lie along a smoothly curved line. Member galaxies include M84 (NGC 4374), M86 (NGC 4406), NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, NGC 4438 and NGC 4435.

Astrophotography by Dariusz Krzempek
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.
