    Does anyone know the payload for an older EQ6 (black version) Cheers Frank
  2. Frank the Troll
    At that price I would read throught he decription its, likely a rip off boot leg copy
  3. Frank the Troll
    I would be using it only with my Nikon d5500 and mainly for daytime stuff. Im using Dxo ATM, so looks like an upgrade might be worth it
  4. Frank the Troll
    Simple answer, Updates, but like you I am adverse in giving anyone info about my details, which is why I use a junk mail box, setup up to delete at the server end, so I dont get to see any junk unwanted mail

    I'm in a lucky position, in that I am able if I wanted, too get a student/teacher licence, which is currently just £95. but will be trying out Gimp first for a basic grounding
  6. Frank the Troll
    Does anyone use Photo Lab 3? Whats the verdict, have been using Dxo for just the normal photo stuff (non astro)
  7. Frank the Troll
    I could've brought a nice 125mm TS ED APO photoline for that price

    Ditto on that, everyone seems to want a monthly slice of your pocket these days, so if its eg. £10 a month, thats £120 a year, and you may have the software for how many years? work out the cost of that compared too how software use to be brought outright

    A rather large losmandy plate (setting up a dual rig, will be fitted with dual saddles)
  10. Frank the Troll
    Just this today StellaMira reducer
  11. Frank the Troll
    Theres no link, so cant comment. I do have an optistar 80mm, which Im happy with, its solid and well built got mine from the forum here, for £56, a bargin IMO, new they are £149 Or how about a RDF ?
  12. Frank the Troll
    Cheers for that, at least Im on the right track, com ports I can deal with too
  13. Frank the Troll
    have installed Ascom, & my camera drivers with ST4 driver which is now showing in Ascom but now what ? Thinking I need to also install EQmod for my EQ6, but how to use this with APT & stellarium, sky safari ect, I also need to use the bluetooth dongle on the EQ6 What's needed for that Cheers peeps
  14. Frank the Troll
    From what I was told when ordering a reducer, just the camera t-ring will provide the spacing you need, your FR might b the same
  15. Frank the Troll
    The numbers 11. 16. 22. when matched with the F stop, will give you depth of field You wont need to use them for astro
  16. Frank the Troll
    Starting up the old EQ6, upgraded the old puck, and now has a dual vixen/losmandy saddle As funds allow, will be adding a larger saddle, to then fit a larger losmandy plate with two saddles to make a side by side setup This mount has a bluetooth dongle, so hopefully once setup, I wont need to use the handset
  17. Frank the Troll
    Thats a nice lens, would suggest you use F2.8 first, F.2 might be too much Looking for a 135mm myself
  18. Frank the Troll
    A little more light reading to go alongside the GIMP book. I may be gone some time
  19. Frank the Troll
    If it works for you, use it, IMO it no different than using any image program, its still image editing, same as Gimp, and many other programs
  20. Frank the Troll
    Yes, you can use your ZWO, how about adding it to this guider -- https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-accessories/zwo-finder-and-guider-scope.htm
  21. Frank the Troll
    Just a little light reading this morning, and an EQ puck for my older black EQ6, and yes it does fit
  22. Frank the Troll
    Yes I will make mistakes, but its all part of the learning process, I will try to make the most of them, more than happy to share them too
  23. Frank the Troll
    As someone just starting out, I'm likely to make mistakes too. So, good to see I will be following in others footsteps, somewhere along the line
  24. Frank the Troll
