Frank the Troll

I have a 10" dob not being used, and want to use it for prime asto photography What spacing do I need between the secondary & primary to make this for example a SW 10" PDS Cheers Frank

Had one, rock solid, never needed to colimnate it, gave albeit small, a very clear view of jupiter and its moons would but another if I had the chance

This old 125mm frac push through has been given a reprieve Just needs a bit of touching up, and a decent flange to finish off Ignore the AZ in the 2nd pic was only used to take the picture

I have an old 125mm frac Where can I source tube rings to fit, OD is 127mm Cheers Frank

Single shot with NO processing Challenge ,inc no stacking

Cracking shot

Thats what I thought, either that or he has tapeworms

Some older tals use 0.96 lenses, but easy to pickup an adapter to fit standard 1.25 lenses for approx £10

Looks good in this photo, the cables in the first pic would drive me nuts

Can I ask where you source that from please Thanks Frank

Hi, could John also make a flange to fit an old 125mm tube to fit a standard SW refractor focuser? Cheers Frank

Whats the RDF looking very smart on there?

Have now got a CCD basic, but good enough to start learning with http://www.opticstar.com/Run/Astronomy/Astro-Imagers-Opticstar.asp?p=0_10_0_50_126

Look out for a used one of these https://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-mounts/skywatcher-eq3-pro-synscan-goto.html

Easy peasy to set up and use, will take you longer to unwrap it

I know it doesnt use the home router, but it helps that the ipad works with the wall. Already have the iphone & ipad set up ready and waiting. Setting up a remote system for use from indoors, avoiding having to run cables

Cheers Dean, will have to check it out, have had the ipad outside with no problems, and thats with a wall between that and the router

I've pm him the correct driver

PM incoming

I have a driver, will pm you a zip file
