Well i got more tips and i finally figured out some thing. I think Mars is blurry because i haven't collimated the scope yet. I will make sure. I am going to collimate it tomorrow. I will post pictures as i take them. Can't wait for Saturn to rise early!

When i get good with this imager i will take a picture of the Andromeda Galaxy.
If your in a really dark sky you can see the Andromeda Galaxy with the naked eye. It would look like a small cloud, but faint, to the naked eye.

700 dollars and mine is the cheapest LXD75 you can get. I will in a couple years invest in a bigger one.
I think hte scope itself was 500 dollars but then i also wanted the computer controls and the imager so it cost 700.

Are you able to setup a laptop or something directly with the scope to make necessary and accurate changes?

Yes i am but the small handheld computer does a fine job on its own.
With the laptop i can just click on a star on the star map and it'll go to it.
