Manual, what manual 😂

Al sorted now, I had to change the Baud to 115200, all working now. Thanks again for your help

Thanks for the quick reply, Im using the ST4 cable, but I think that might be the issue, as its not picking up the Mount. Had a quick google search and its suggested to buy the EQDIR cable as per your link 🤔 and select EQMod Mount. Thanks

Hi all, Hoping you can give me some advice on my setup. I finally got my Asiair Plus today, set it all up with the guide scope, focuser, camera and so on, everything is recognised and working except my mount. There is no EQ6-R Pro in the drop down menu so I chose the EQMOD Mount instead, and I just get an error, see pic attached. Im connecting the EQ6-R Pro to the Asiair Plus via the usb . Any thoughts or suggestions would be great, Many thanks

Has anyone had any experience with this scope, been offered one and can't find many reviews online. Thanks in advance

Hi newest member 😀 Welcome to the best Astronomy site on the net 👋

I know what you mean, but it actuality looks better in the flesh so to speak 🤔

Bit the bullet and bought it, was very surprised at the size, and the quality of the scope. Will keep the family off my other scopes, and its small enough to stick in my backpack. Money well spent

Nice, thanks will look into that 👍🏾

Thinking of getting the RVO Horizon 60 ED as my grab and go Scope, saw good reviews online, just wondering if anyone here had any experience with them? Thanks in advance

What wireless controller are you using?

Thanks, very useful information to know.

Thanks for your thoughts and observations, very helpful.

Great stuff Paul, Thanks for the quick reply, info and the link 👍 Much appreciated

Been using my laptop for a while now for astrophotography , but I have been looking into buying a ASIAIR PLUS . Has anyone had any experience with the ASIAIR PLUS and would you recommend it? Many thanks.

Very good advice Steve, wish someone had given me such good advice when I first started! would have saved me lots of headaches and lots of £££

Thanks for all the info, much appreciated 👍🏾

Has any one used this scope? If so, can you tell me your thoughts are ? Ive had a look on google, but can't seem to find any info on it, only what's listed on aliexpress .

Scope - Altair 72EDF Deluxe Mount - Sky-Watcher EQ6-R PRO My main scope is a Meade LX90 8" ACF ( I use that for planetary viewing ) The Altair 72EDF will be my main scope for deep sky Just putting it together with the help of the field of view calculator, but wanted advice from someone who has actually done it. Thanks for the info 👍

Hi all, hope you are all keeping warm, safe and well 🤗 Im taking the leap from using a DSLR to CCD camera for imaging, so I'm looking for some advice from on which guide scope to use. After doing a bit of research, I have my eyes on the Starwave 50mm guide scope, but open to suggestion. ( no point asking what the budget is 😂 ) Many thanks

Thanks, will give that a go 👍

Attached to a Meade LX90 ASF , Meade Series 4000 F6.3 Focal Reducer/ Flattener with the camera adapter. Live view only gives a blank screen, pic I uploaded earlier.

Yes, images are just plain white, or black depending on what I aim at.

Do you get anything on the actual LCD also ? This is what I get when the camera is on does not display anything that's in front of the camera.

Did you say that that's not right? These are the settings I use. 1. Exposure level increments - doesn't matter 2. Flash sync - doesn't matter 3. Long exposure noise reduction – off 4. High ISO speed noise reduction – off 5. Auto lighting optimiser – disable 6. AF assist beam firing – off 7. AF during live view shooting – off 8. Mirror lock up – disable 9. shutter/AE lock button - AF/AE lock 10. SET button when shooting - LCD monitor on off 11. LCD display when power on – Display 12. Add original decision data - off Also: · Set mode to 'M' and exposure length to 'BULB' · ISO is 800 · Menu 1:Quality RAW (when shooting RAW things like exposure compensation, white balance etc. have no effect whatever) · Red eye off · Beep off · Shoot w/o card - personal preference · Review time -- your choice, I go for 4 sec · Menu 2 - none of these matter, but don't set just delete data, you use flats for this.
