  1. Check out astroboot & astro buy Sell, and also here of course if your quick enough you could pick up a bargin like me, an older eq6 for just £350, its the older black version, but hey ho, still does the job, and will do me just fine, ebay is a bit hit & miss, bidders tend to get carried away, and prices go OTT, and there nothing wrong with 2nd hand, which most of my kit is, all that matters is, does it do the job
  2. Been looking up at the night sky as a very young kid,, got my first astromony book as a xmas present aged 11, and yes, it was patrick moores, and still have it now my first look through a telescope was a small frac, cant remember the make or size, but I felt so impressed by being able to split the double in gemini, yes I know, thats very easy now but, it got me hooked, so here I am decades later still looking upwards
  3. Cheers, thanks for the guide, "Very Good" ( and thats from a guy who has written IT manuals)
  4. Having a little play with it now, as a photographer, looking pretty good, got to be usefull for astro, also like that it has noise reduction
  5. Yep runs on Win 10. If you cant see it in shaprcap, goto device manager, select it & update driver
  6. Mine has been flashed, had it set-up on sharpcap on W10 for a play
  7. Celestron Ultima DX 9*63 clear & sharp, well worth having. I Use mounted on an eq3 & photo tripod. Also just right for hand-held use These are a keeper
  8. Yep, couldnt beleive the prices they were making
  9. Oh well, zwo camera it is then, and try it on the sw st80 first before splashing out on a guide scope Cheers
  10. yep, well past its time, should've sold it when they were selling for silly prices
  11. Worth a play, as its just sitting in the draw and might try it out on the polar scope for sharpcap polar align The ASI120MC is already on the cards will pass the spc900 on when I get one
  12. Is it worth using a SPC900 for imaging, what sort of results could you expect?
  13. will look out for an 8.5". changing the focuser would'nt be a problem
  14. Good report Have been tempted by some of these but wasnt sure if they were worth the effort May have a re-think now Must do a report on the old 125 frac at some point
  15. Will have to check out version 3 As an example combine with other software, heres what possible. the original picture worked from was just black & white
  16. I have DxO Its quite easy to use, dont get on with photoshop, not had a chance to us lightroom, so cant comment on that
  17. Short term, will just leave setup outside with a decent cover. Will setup a pier at somepoint in the future
  18. In a similiar position, my back is totally naff, the 10" is just too much to cope with now, will be looking to sell it at some point, and go fo an 8" so I can mount it on the EQ6
  19. Thank you, will check them out and startools, I had OXO,
  20. it wont boot so cant see had a few bits it was some time ago, your Sig reminds me it had PHD2
