  1. Hello all I have an ota that is really difficult to find tube rings that fit,for example SW rings to fit an 8" ota are you small...rings to fit a10" ota are you big. I thought I would buy the 10" rings and someway try and pack the inside with something to make them fit,maybe 15mm hard rubber strip...any ideas what could work. Thanks Paul.
  2. When the bright star is centered there is no spike and when off centre the spike is there...what do you think,loose filter. Bit of thin cloud in first image.
  3. Hello all,any ideas what is causing the spikes on Alnitak,using a frac with l-enhance, efw and reducer/flattener. Paul
  4. Few images over the year with what rare clear skies we had. Paul
  5. Raw 120 sec pic with a Gail blowing. Could be a nice comet.
  6. Yea,was curious how you got back focus.
  7. "We choose to process......not because it is easy...we choose to process because it is hard". Swear I heard something along those lines said before.🤔🤔😁.
  8. With friends like that..who needs enemies...😁😁
  9. Around 100x30 sec subs, uv-ir filter, 102ed 533mc pro.
  10. If you want to locate the comet visually now's the chance, right beside Vega.
  11. Hello all, thinking about maybe buying the essential version of this scope. I currently own a 102ed doublet with 3" focuser, which I have been and still am very pleased with, would it be a good idea to change to the ES triplet...any advice greatly appreciated. Paul
  12. Quick 180 sec raw shot of the comet,actually looks like it could be good...not the pic,the comet.
  13. Yes a bit blown out,I use APP...actually just came across 2,4,6,8 and 10 sec subs I must have done earlier in the month and the 2 sec clearly shows the Trapezium so will give it one last try with shorter subs.
  14. Can never get this right,always burning out the core so I tried 8 sec subs around 450 of them still the same....🥴 Any way probably won't give it another go.
  15. Hope there is a nice ZWO related prize.....😁
  16. Sorry mate,just re read your post..for some reason only known to my brain...I thought you used a 533 mc...🥴,still a great image...I'll get my coat.
  17. That's much better...I used 180 sec subs from bortel 8.
  18. MiYou should keep your gain to 100 or 101, you should have a lot more detail with the time spent on this object. This was under 7 hours using same equipment
  19. Not ideal conditions with storm Debi just passed, but ok. 244 mc, 9'' newt uv-ir filter
  20. Managed to get almost 12 hours of 180 sec subs over a few nights, 102ed 533mc pro, l-extreme on Asiair.
  21. 4.5 hours of 180 sec subs,will add to this when skies clear. 102ed, 533mc pro, l-enhance, Asiair pro.
  22. Sorry wrong section....meant to post in imaging🫣..can mods remove..sorry.
