    Hi has anyone else had this problem with a newly purchase asi715 camera to used with asiair plus?
  2. David at Bythel Obs
    Thanks for this. I agree camera works fine when pluggrd into laptop. The problem is that asiair plus has not been modified to recognise the asi715 even though they have started selling. This is very poor on Zwo’s behalf.I will pass this on to Widescreen who sold me the camera. thanks

  4. David at Bythel Obs

    Thanks for your rapid response asiair plus working fine with asi533 camera using same usb3 cable not the one that came with asi715. Odd!

    Hi i have a pulsar 2.7m dome that I need to automate to keep Astro scope in centre of dome opening during long exposures. Any thoughts as Pulsar kit doesn’t have the software to slave telescope to slot thanks

    Managed to get out last night and achieved guiding with the OAG using my Zwo120mm with the edge at f10 2800mm. Thanks for all comments and advice getting focus was the real issue although getting the calibration settings right were also a must . Photo m81 15x300sec subs. Stars look pretty good.

    Thanks for your rapid response I have tried a Zwo 178 and 120mm using the celestron OAG but can’t find stars seems to use a bright pixel!!

    I have an edge 11 with celestron OAG but cannot get asiair plus to calibrate as cannot find stars. Pls help what camera do I need. I am keen to take subs even at f10 ie 2800mm fl. I have achieved using 250mm fl guidescope with 300s subs guiding at 0.4”rms but need to use OAG for space reasons as I am in a dome. Any thoughts most welcome

    Thanks for your encouragement I certainly agree that the lx200gps 12inch has been a good friend for 17yrs and I am still learning. Latest was to get better eyepieces . Only been collimated once in 17years by telescope house! How often do you collimate? david

    Does anyone have experience with this mount? Tentatively thinking of deforking my lx200 gps 12 inch and mounting on this for long focal length AP particularly of galaxies. Set up would be in the observatory. thanks
  17. David at Bythel Obs
    Sorry for delay in replying been I’ll. what everybody says makes sense won’t both wasting time and money on the lx200 for AP. Suspect the lx is a dinosaur. I will stick to my esprit100 thanks for all your responses david

    Sorry RASA not taser!! Predictive text!!!

    Hi does anyone have experience in using such a rig for AP? I have a 17yr old lx200 12inch with a guider port that I am keen to use with the brand new asiair plus with asi533 camera. The scope is equatorial fork mounted. Any thoughts pls
  20. David at Bythel Obs
    Value opinions on the above

    Sad about the cat hope escaped. Looks a fantastic observatory what will be inside? I have just put up a second pulsar observatory for AP so very keen to hear of similar projects.
  22. David at Bythel Obs
    Thanks to you both encouragement needed just upgraded to asi533 now can’t blame the kit!

    Taken with Zwo178 Esprit 100 10x30 darks 20x30sec lights just ASI air no processing beyond this amazing

    Hi does anyone know how to stop water entering pulsar observatory at junction with flat concrete base. Many ideas but has anyone with one that works practically for the long term. I am even researching bespoke guttering but will cost a fortune!?thanks
  25. David at Bythel Obs
    Thanks it’s an lx200 gps I will use focal reducer so fl will be 1800mm off axis guider sounds a must compared with my 250mm guide scope. Thanks for your encouraging comments
