Thank you. Sorry, I don't know of tutorials for Skywatcher. But, if you join Stargazerslounge or Cloudynights, you can get all your questions answered there. I hope that helps. I'm in the first one as Mandy D.

🌧️ Once again, the clouds are calling the shots. Wednesday night’s sky is off-limits, and the Westport Observatory will be CLOSED. Don’t worry—those stars can’t hide forever, and we’ll be back as soon as the skies clear! ✨🔭 https://was-ct.org/

How many here are/were members of CloudyNights? I was an original member of that community, I think in 1999. For about 12 yrs I was the moderator of the Binocular Forum and for 3-4 of yrs I was a site Administrator. Went inactive there around 10 yrs ago. Published many articles there.

Think about what you want to capture. Sun? Planets/moons? Nebula/Galaxies?
That determines what sort of scope. Or if you even need one, since you have camera already.
Forums like CloudyNights have beginner threads. And YouTube has plenty of great tutorials.

取りあえずCloudyNights見てると、一番問題なのはクレイフォードのフォーカス機構のようですね。特に寒くなってくるとキツく締めてもイメージトレインが重いとスリップする、と。ラック＆ピニヨンに交換してる人多いです。後は今のところ、後部のキャップがやはり寒いと落ちるんで、落ちないキャップを先ほど出力しました（笑）
ま、他は大丈夫そうです。でも、R&Pに300ドルとかかけたら総額1300ドル超えてくるので、もうそろそろε-130買えちゃうんですよね……

Apparently, the clouds signed a long-term lease over Westport and aren’t leaving anytime soon. So once again, the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party is rained out.
