  1. Will be great if they can do it but I think it will be a job for starship when its up and running
  2. i think they said that the next 5 or 6 months was for calibration and cooling
  3. have a look on thingyverse to see if there are any mounts for your scope
  4. if you choose to build one and wish to use the ULN2003 version let me know as I have a spare circuit board you can have
  5. https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuserpro2diy/
  6. I have one and very pleased with it i only have newts tho!
  7. I have recently moved to NINA on a mini PC from ekos/kstars on RPi4 and the performance is far superior. the package that you get with NINA now is very comprehensive and is developing all the time. the advanced sequencer is fantastic and platesolving is a dream.
  8. Baud needs to be 115200 on the pro at least mine does anyway it would not connect on anything else Are you connecting directly to the USB port?
  9. 'The collision will change the speed of the moonlet in its orbit around the main body by a fraction of one percent' they hope!
  10. it makes the whole thing much easier. my eyes really struggle with a cheshre i have tried many. just a slight movement to one side for me makes it really tough. but this little thing really helps. you can zoom right in and adjust the focus on screen so you can cange the focus from the secondary to primary etc. really pleased with mine
  11. I'm a sucker for gadgets but this looks pretty good! As my newt is quite a sensitive soul to collimate and my eyesight is rubbish through small holes due to intraocular replacments several years ago I have had an Ocal electronic focuser arrive today! makes life much easier. i tried making one from a web cam a while back but it was never very accurate so when this popped up I thought I would give it a go nicely made unit the software is a little basic but it does what it says on the tin.
  12. when my invoice came from customs it was for £64 (ish) this was for import duties it didnt mention VAT
  13. Really pleased with mine, as stated above the order process was faultless and the package bomb proof delivered on the day they said it would. In use its Good the only issue I have had was the window fogging up when it was very heavy dew last week. This was when it was running at -10 so lifted it up to -5 and it went away. Mine came with two adapters power supply (UK) and Good usb3 cable in a very sturdy foam filled case
  14. I had this issue with my guide cam (starlight express costar) Had all sorts of problems similar to what you describe. In the end I sent it to manufacturer and they replaced the board
  15. Does anyone know where I could get some tube rings that wouldfit a 399mm OD tube? i suspect a few mm extra for padding
  16. he has said that he has no intention of going either
  17. I made an controller following Robert Browns design. it has the ability to target dew point so keeps the temp of any surfaces you want dew free above this temp which makes it more efficient. info is on source forge here https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinonanodewcontrollerpro/
  18. easiest way is to use a monitor and keyboard on the rpi and just connect to the local wifi make sure you either remove the hotspot setup or change its priority to stop it being the prefered network on boot
  19. both of mine should have been set to 16bit not sure about compression may post the question in the nina discord
  20. I have recently purchased one of these and I have been quite impressed with it so far Previously I have been using Ekos/kstars on my Rpi4 but reecently I have started testing a Windows mini PC with NINA installed to see if things are greener on the other side. so far I really like NINA but would anyone know why the fits files sizes are so dramatically different when using ekos/kstars on my rpi4 to when I use it via NINA? Rpi is the larger!
