  1. i would say it was an ideal mount but there are very good for the money and i`d say it would be fine, if not you could always sell the mount and upgrade that too, they sell very well
  2. are you sure your settings are still the same in the brain of PHD, biggest is the guide camera details and pixel size of guide camera
  3. that is beautiful, well done
  4. I'm not 100% familiar with your mount, mine is the Neq6 Pro but I'm sure the USB cable you have shown is the wrong one, this is a printer style cable and I'm sure there is no where to plug this type of cable into the mount, I'd check with flo again or have a look at the mount on their website, it shows you need the eqmod direct cable.
  5. Yes but it's not a normal USB cable, this is the one you'll need for your mount https://www.firstlightoptics.com/sky-watcher-mount-accessories/lynx-astro-ftdi-eqdir-usb-adapter-for-sky-watcher-eq5-pro-heq5-syntrek-pro-az-eq5-gt-az-eq6-gt-and-eq8-mounts.html
  6. Ascom platform which I believe is 6.4 now, and I now use the latest version of stellarium which works great and you don't need stellarium mount anymore as it's built into the new version of stellarium, and you'll need eqmod which is also a free download
  7. This was a image with my unmodified Canon 1100D, 80 x 90 second subs with 15 darks 31 flats and 31 bias frames, stacked in deep sky stacker and processed with Startools with some tweeks in photoshop cs3, I converted the rgb image into mono and used it as a 50% luminance layer to finish it off.
  8. You could buy the processing software, startools, which is around £35 and does a good job at gradient removal and lots of other useful processing jobs.
  9. some of the actions i find very good HLVG is very good for getting rid of the green cast, deep sky noise reduction is excellent, sharping toll is great, i can go on but i find them excellent although i don`t use them all
  10. This one was my first attempt, aittle less saturated, I always find the colours difficult to get right, I'm slightly colour blind which does help L.O.L
  11. Version 7 I think, I have used the shrink module a few times before in startools with good success, I also have an action in photoshop that does a good job too and it is just one click to do so I tend to use that mostly
  12. Around 63 x 90 second exposures with a Canon 1100D connected to a William Optics GT 81, 15 X darks, 31 X flats and 31 X bias frames, stacked in deep sky stacker processed in Startools and some tweaks to colour and star reduction in Photoshop CS3.
