How did you fix it Rich? For the benefit of those less knowledgeable (not me of course )

Rob, That is an amazing mosaic. I'm just in awe of your dedication. A note to myself, there are no quick fixes...only hard work and perseverence

As I suspected, in over my head . I shall bow out now

I thought kev ment if there was no wifi available, or am I missing something? may well be over my head here

am I right in thinking that if you plan to use vnc without a modem,the a null modem cable is required? http://www.tekroninternational.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/crossover-vs-straight-through-cables.html

Hello Jefrs, Sorry to hear of your problems with arthritis and your need edit (although we all make frequent mistakes). If you click the "more options" button at the bottom of your post before sending it, you will see a "preview post" option which may help. The reason for the restriction in editing is because there were many people abusing this option, posting inflamatory/rude posts and deleting them before they could be brought to admins attention. We hope by the time someone reaches 250 posts they have proven themselvess to be serious about obeying the forum code of conduct. Nobody really cares too much about some spelling mistakes, and if you type something that is wrong (eg "I do care" instead of "I do NOT care") contact a moderator and we'll sort it for you. Thank you for your understanding

Back in a big way then Rob. quite a post you've made and as always, a pleasure to read. Hope things settle for you and yours quickly

With yours truelly on the triangle

I'm not one for conspiracy theories BUT.... I've heard mention (in some of the darker corners of the internet) that first light optics (in cohoots with torchwood/nasa/holidaysinthesun.com) are now controling the weather. Far be it for me to cast aspersions but I'd like to point out that they are now selling more solar set-ups than ever. Coincidence?.........you decide

Alsagers Bank Gareth, I'm still waiting to get along to one one of the North Staffs Imaging nights

As above, I (and I'm guessing many others) use dss and shoot flats at 100 iso. No problems. Whether or not there is a technical reason for not doing this, I don't know but if it ain't broke, I'm not gunna fix it

I use dss and shoot flats at 100 iso. No problems. I certainly wouldn't argue with you Gareth, your images stand up for themselves. I'm merely saying that 100 works for me

Providing your little circle is in the right place

All these equations confuse me . What I do know is that I spend a bit of time and effort getting pa as good as I can and a mate just plonks it down aiming the mount northish. His Images beat mine every time and I'm starting to hate him for it . Well apart from the hating him bit, the rest is all true and I just don't get it. (both scopes are guided).
