Informal Exmoor Starparty anyone?!
astromerlin replied to robbymain's topic in Star Parties & Astro Events
Depending on actual dates Kes and I are also interested. -
Kes and I are booked, thanks Grant. Can't wait now. See you all there.

Path from house to observatory - ideas please.
astromerlin replied to Gina's topic in DIY Observatories
I'd go with gravel, line the path with 3"X3/4" wood staked in, weed mat and then fill with gravel. This does mean digging out though, so perhaps organise a "bring your own spade" barbie/starparty. -
How about this stuff to re-attach wires? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0-3ML-Silver-Conductive-Compound-Electrically-Paint-Glue-Wire-Paste-Trace-Repair-/381261278511?hash=item58c4f16d2f:g:SRMAAOSwNSxVOvyD

It's difficult to say, I've had cameras that have shown an all white image as well as all black but no real image. If you check all the ribbon cables are properly in their sockets then it may well be the sensor is bad.

Hi Rick, Double check the connections on the sensor it might bring it back to life. It will save 1.8mb of data because the firmware is told to do so, if the sensor is broken or not connected properly the "data" will be zero (black).

It's a long shot but you could try using electrically conductive paint/glue used to repair heater matrix on car rear windows.

With all the good weather last month I managed to grab some data on the Tulip nebula with the 130pds and Canon 1100d 20 x 300sec rgb 10 x 600sec Ha All subs captured at iso1600, and my first attempt at combining ha data with rgb.

Looking for beta testers of new Polar Alignment utility.
astromerlin replied to themos's topic in Discussions - Software
I've just stumbled onto this very interesting project, now for the dumb question, will the accuracy of polar alignment using your method be affected if I have cone error in my setup? -
