Re: My Beginner Astrophotography Setup
hi, and thanks for your video and you helping beginners, the music is a little destracting/overtoping ,i'd say someone trying to learn would feel the same way .
true north is what you want, not magnetic north, i'm pretty sure you've shown correctly anyway in theapp .
balancing the scope was missed ? this should be key in an introduction setup .
latitude and longitude,with a bassic latitude ajustment on the mount with it's lat gauge prior the pc setup should be mentioned .
everything else seems good,cheers for showing your video ,keep em comming.

Re: My Beginner Astrophotography Setup
Been a while since I visited. To answer your question, I heat up the print and let it cool around the metal part. Once cool, unscrew and resue.

Re: My Beginner Astrophotography Setup
Given the weight of the mount, counter-weight, scope, and accessories...it can be a good idea to relevel after all is added. Even with bricks the extra weight can change things some.
I usually level the tripod first, then check the level after all is done and sitting there a bit.
