      Try the following:

      "Come out here and have a look at the moon lady".

      "Oh yes that is lovely man, I am really glad you bought that scope its was an excellent investment given the beautiful views we can now share"

      Haha ;)

      Nice, one Jake. Looking forward to seeing what you manage to get out of it!

      Cheers Chris - ran smoothly for the first 7 x 300s subs, then the guiding dropped out and the next 13 were terrible. Think I started a bit closer to the meridian than I had realised!

      Still got some data and tomorrow night may give another chance to catch some more subs ;)

      Thanks Faulksy - it's a 525i SE, E39. Cheers Hobsey - I shall look that up, part ordered for £ 204 at local BMW Dealer ouch!!

  16. M13 lined up and great conditions :)

      SnakeyJ

      Darn it! No data after 40 mins as I'd not cleared an acknowledgement in APT :( Clouds rolling in now, but perhaps a few subs can be captured

  17. Starting simple with M27, 30s subs and PHD2

    1. tingting44

      tingting44

      what mount are you using? you can achieve 30s with a simple polar alignment, if your guiding, bang out a 5min sub and see how it looks :D

      I'm getting too much noise on M27 and M92 - will have to try again dropping the iso down from 800 to 200 ish, though not sure if I will resolve more detail like this - the mount is the heq5 pro with Rowan belt mod, but PA a little suspect and needs some more tuning/drift alignment.
