2 videos taken with my S23 and NeXYZ adapter on a barlowed 12mm Omni Plossl. 8" Dob

Stacked and and sharpened in Autostakkert. How did I do?

Good first effort.  Mine with the 16" Dob is here: https://www.cloudyni...-1684542360.png

Sweeeet! I doubt I'll capture anything as nice, but I can hope! Have you put rings on your Dob to mount on an EQ mount?

No it’s on the stock alt/az GOTO mount it came with.

If he had, it wouldn't be a Dobsonian.

Besides it is a truss design.  I'm not sure it could structurally survive a conventional EQ mount.
