Vibrations from ZWO ASI cameras effecting star shape?
Corpze replied to Corpze's topic in Discussions - Cameras
Hi again, it has been awful weather here in Sweden during the autumn, but I did get some clear skies during the holidays, and got to compare images from the spring 2022 where i had the "old" fan mountings. I did how ever also changed my secondary mirror which also might have had "some" effect of the images.... But here is the video where I compare before and after the mod: /Daniel -
This is how I run my cables /Daniel

You might already bought a mount by now, but for what it is worth - I have a lot of videos on my youtube channel where i go through how my DDM 85 works... You can find my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/ExoPhotography1/featured And this is one of the videos with my mount:

I have tried several collimation tools, i even made a video of it, just because i was fed up with bad collimators 😛

Vibrations from ZWO ASI cameras effecting star shape?
Corpze posted a topic in Discussions - Cameras
Stumbeled upon a forum thread saying the some of the ZWO ASI Cameras has issues with vibrations from the fan. I don't know if i had any issues with my fan (having a ASI 2600MM) but I am to corious not to test this out. I made a video of how I (try to) analyse my vibrations with my phone as it has a accelerometer, which indicated a bit better values after the mod. You can find my video on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0K_7oEQbEg&ab_channel=ExoPhotography Have you noticed anything like this? Have you made the mod? Have you changed the fan for another, better one? Regards, Daniel -
Hve you altered anything in the code? If not - check your hardware connections, it "should work" /Daniel

Hi! During the last couple of months I managed to get the Bubble nebula finished and i found a, at least to me, new nebula which I have never heard of - It looks just like Alien or a skull... Maybe someone knows a bit more of that nebula? When was it discovered? Take a look at my video and you can clearly see that it is almost invisible even after 4 hrs in every filter, but is quite visible when all three filters is combined... Best regards / Daniel - Exo Photography

So, as the topic say - How do you plan for a imaging sessions - what object to photograph? What criteria to tick off in the planning stage? What software / website / book? do you use? I made a video of what I am using, but am I missing something? How to find those sweet, anonymous objects? Best regards, Daniel / Exo Photography

I thought that this video of perhaps the most well engineered trailer observatory might wake your interest. I was very exited when i first saw the trailer and when Anders (the owner) let me in, my yaw dropped to the ground! You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/LwFM_5mCspU Best regards / Daniel - Exo Photography https://youtu.be/LwFM_5mCspU

This is the very reason i do these videos - to help out fellow astronomers And the reward is you saying they are helpful - entirely my pleasure! /Daniel

Thought this might be interesting for anyone who might consider a ASA mount, or anyone else who just wan't to follow my adventures trying my best in the obsy Anyway - here is the video of me polar aligning and making a new sky model /Daniel

Nice to se that more people have found this amazingly easy design ( and the results ) I have been imaging with my ZWO ASI 2600MM now for a couple of weeks and the stars are perfect in all corners, unlike with my Atik 460 which I tried to adjust during the imaging at night - to no sucess. This rig got it right the first try ( but the ZWO was very good straight out of the box ) I made a new video regarding the items i use, and adress some questions I have got on my Youtube channel, more specific - what to use as a "barrel" for the nosepieces to the cameras - but as you guys say - a hole in a wooden plank and two supports seems good enough. I have also read some questions about how to make sure everything is parallel - and to be honest - i haven't made sure. But, I use aluminium rig components which is quite parallel if mounted properly. Not sure it needs to be parallel though. Anyway - here is the video:

Hi, I have been getting a lot of questions regarding what components my "optical test rig" has, and how to clamp the camera/laser with. I found some new bits and pieces which makes it very simple to build your own rig
-
Well thank you so much - the solution or products was already there, but maybe a new way to use it /Daniel

Hi everyone! The last couple of weeks, I have been trimming in my telescope on my newly overhauled ASA DDM85, and since all direct driven mounts needs quite accurate balancing, I went out and used a bit different method of trying to achieve the "perfect" balance. When using my EQ6, i balance my rig slightly east-heavy, but for this rig, it needs to be very close to perfection. Clear skies! / Daniel
