    the plate solve on the test deep sky camera was fast and the annotations are great

    the sync script is in the synscan windows folder once zip downloaded and extracted it can be viewed in a text editor for instructions, use with sharpcap

    lots of features added like pushto knitted in plate solving , lots to try plus I'm going to try the skywatcher sync script when I get a chance, well worth the license

    I'm on the same 4.0 something so will download that newest 4.1 version. Thanks for the mention of this. For bosun21 download the latest and put your pro license details in it if they're not showing and it'll be fine

    What eye pieces do you have, have you added anything to the supplied 25nm and 10mm? Edit: sounds like you have good eye pieces to get started with.

    For the Moon adding a barlow to your highest powered eyepiece on good nights of seeing I think could be quite a good view. The Moon 100 gives a target list of Moon features to observe. Double stars have a go see which ones you can split

    I have a noir 2 and the night vision camera, I am temped to take the lens off one and see if I can stick another lens on top I have a ZWO 120 lens.

    Try in daytime to see if you can get infinity focus with the 100p with the loan Astro camera as it would be less frustrating then at night. Use a distant tree or aerial (not the sun)

    Does the app allow you to choose a named star, if so could you select one such as Electra then capture that then choose Atlas and capture that then stitch your images together, but I don't know if the individual stars are offered on the seestar

    Top left menu can change the satellite

    Isn't the 130pds on the heavy side for the az-gti

    Very useful post, given me yet more ideas, I wonder if a noir 2 is sensitive enough as have one already and I could try with what I have.

    Do you have a nexinage 5 or 10. I have a nexinage 5 and use a imaging source driver for the camera sensor and then the camera works with sharpcap I'll add more info on the driver tomorrow

    What 5 ratio is your telescope, as depending on that your most inner circles may be off a bit, but what's the f ratio first please
  15. happy-kat
    I'm going to see what lens they use as your captures are great
  16. happy-kat
    I think the OP has mentioned they have a DSLR 500d won't that be heavier then an astro cam

    There is overlap in the books and you mentioned about processing which is covered more in the second
  18. happy-kat
    I like the other book Dark Art or Magic Bullet by Steve

    To start you could make from card, compass and a protractor a Lord Y bahtinuv mask to help with focus.

    The 35 being a mount gives visual capability if that's useful for you I've not used either mount.

    There will be lots of replies to help you. There's plenty being done with EEVA and there's all in ones like the ZWO seestar s50

    very tight stars, did you do anything in particular here?

    I follow this as the SS50 is looking to be a fall back if my setup this year frustrates more than engages. The 462 has miniscule read noise I wonder what else they did to it in the SS50 over the ASI462MC
  24. happy-kat
    Are these in Photoshop?

    Using your existing telescope is possible for imaging the planets, manual tracking is fiddlier but getting ahead of the planet and letting it drift through the FOV while capturing video.
