Here a couple of my first pics with the LPI taken with an ETX70 and a x2 barlow. It works fine in this way (494 or 497 controller). Starry Night users may prefer to control the scope as normal and only run the LPI Imaging section of Autostar Suite. To connect a standard ETX70 494 controller will require a 506 cable (not a 505 as supplied with the LPI). The ETX70's 494 controller will allow control by the planetarium part of Autostar Suite (slew to etc.) but to autoguide or use the autostar control panel in the software will require a 497 controller. Larger scopes however will always excel at planetary pics. ![]() ![]() The LPI is equivalent to a 6mm eyepiece which allows telescopes such as the ETX70 to take pictures which would be more difficult with large scopes.
