Covered my mount as I’m going plaster my walls don’t like the block work look it feels like a prison cell also I can neaten up my wiring at the same time, my question what colour would you paint the finished walls I’m leaning towards black.

What’s causing this on my qhy268m occasionally

Will try this makes sense it’s not planetary at 100 fps , lost 4 images last night out of 60 not counting cloud cover. Thanks Tim. -

It’s looks so neat , no chance of snagging, I lost 5, 180 subs from 80 exposures, (unfortunately 3 in 1 channel) , I’ll test direct but not sure if the chance snagging is worse than loosing some images. -

Less than 3m just about, bought a reasonably expensive one, but who knows they claim to be good .. Don’t know it’s it’s using all the usb 3 ports on the mount , going to move the Zwo guider to the usb 2 port to the left and it that doesn’t help plug the Primaluce gotto focuser into a usb2 to only run usb 3 with the camera -

Just checked Nina setting my usb limit was set at 0 , read online should be 40 ( for Zwo)don’t know if this will stop since the change of settings I’ve had 7 more 180 subs come out ok. dose anybody know what this setting is for , is it download speed or capacity or am I barking up the wrong tree -
See photo this happens every so often, using usb 3 from onboard hub on Ioptron 120 then straight into pc..pleas excuse the large dust moats

70 x 3mins subs in narrowband with zwo 2600mc over 2 night with skywatcher esprit 150, stacked and processed with pixinsight.

galaxy_clone1.bmp now a little too purple

1st go in pixinsight was happier with the image 5 steps earlier over done it but quite alright with the end product . steep leaning curve will back to original uncropped image and start again..

Thanks again it’s a little more involved the my Zwo plus but I’ll get to grips with it eventually

Wow what a coincidence I downloaded this program late last night and literally just tried it in NINA and it slewed to the targets as much as I could tell in the day time. It came up with a few errors but still worked as far as I can tell. And parked it that worked as I should, now to try properly on a clear night I want the park scope feature to work so my roll on roll off works with the mount so not to snap my scope in half by accidentally closing.

I can control my Meade lx850 gem mount with the Zwo air plus but want more control like parking scope and roof on off automation which the Zwo won’t do. so going to try connect to Ascom then NINA, but try as I might cannot get the mount to connect to Ascom it not a hard wear issue as can connect to meades updater and Zwo. Trawled the internet for every driver but no luck has anybody been able to connect a Meade to Ascom thanks.

I’d settle for any 3 of the images, thanks again to everybody like a said gives me something to aim at (no pun intended)..
-
Thanks for that I’m blown away with the detail you both have pulled out of my image,I read what you did to the image if I’m honest it was all Greek to me I’ve got so much to learn.
-
I’m thinking of buying pixinsight might be better to learn from scratch without using app too much and getting used to its process. Buying the 2 sounds a costly way to go (no change there then). Will download trail version today and see if I can get my old brain around it, thanks for all the input didn’t expect this and sending me on my way…
-
Would you buy pixinsight over app I’ve got the trial version at the moment thanks for all your help..
-
Is pixinsight as hard to use as I’m led to believe
-
That 100 percent better ,my 1st go with app and not really ever stacked the darks we’re done day after.. Thanks give me something to think about.
