South Wales Astronomy Group (SWAG) Autumn Star Party 2020
GeekyPete replied to Freff's topic in Star Parties & Astro Events
Hi, I invited myself to this, hope you don't mind, but is it still going ahead? Covid aside, the forecast looks terrible too! Pete Towers -
Az Gti stuck in "Internal Wi-Fi is off" mode.

No, I might have another go at running it for 4 hours and trying to make sure nothing tries to connect to it (which is supposed to reset the WiFi) but I'm a bit sceptical - I think I may have blown it up.... Are you having problems with yours? -

Hi, thanks for your reply. I've had the batteries out for 1/2 an hour or so and just re-tried it. Still the same result. I also tried leaving it powered on for over 4 hours without attempting to connect to it, as this is supposed to reset the Wi-Fi, but this had no effect either. -
My Az GTi mount had been working well, apart from occasional Wi-Fi drop-outs, until yesterday, when the batteries ran low.

COMPLETED - Altair Imaging camera and Guidescope
GeekyPete replied to Stridor's topic in Sold / Expired Classified Ads
Hi, I'm interested in the Altair GPCAM only. Can you confirm that it is the GPCAM2 and is definitely the mono version? You mention it is unused, but do you know if it is working and complete with the CS fit UV filter and the 20mm nosepiece extension? - I can't see the nosepiece in the box. Thanks, Pete -

Hi, is the guider/scope still for sale? Thanks, Pete -
Had a great time, despite the weather. Enjoyed the quiz, company, food and talks, so thanks to everyone involved in organising and laying-on this event.
