M33 60s v 300s - 300s too far?
PeterCPC replied to scitmon's topic in Imaging - Image Processing, Help and Techniques
I don't use Pixinsight any more. I use Astropixel Processor (APP) for stacking and some post processing but the majority of post processing is done with Affinity Photo with some plug ins like AstroFlat Pro. I found Pixinsight to be too complex. Peter -

PeterCPC replied to scitmon's topic in Imaging - Image Processing, Help and Techniques
I normally use 300s exposure with my Canon with no ill effects. I use APP for processing. For instance this was taken with my Canon 1200d with 300s exposures for about 2.4 hours. Peter

If you are using a hub, check that too. I had something similar and found the cable from the hub was working loose. Peter -

Problems setting up new SW130P
PeterCPC replied to Nads75's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Hello and welcome. The best advise would be to follow the instruction manual. If you can't see anything I would suggest that you do not have it focused. Best to try it in daylight by looking at a distant object - NOT THE SUN. Peter -
Have you looked here Peter

I can't remember but it is just a standard Synta shoe which are widely available. Such as https://www.firstlightoptics.com/finders/astro-essentials-finder-shoe.html. Peter

If I understand correctly, you want to just mount the guidescope and camera to the mount. This is what I made to do the same. Just a piece of aluminium plate with a shoe attached and a short camera dovetail from Modern Astronomy. Peter

Agree with kirkstar501. Peter

Difficult to make any meaningful comment without knowing the gear used but imaging is best avoided at times of almost full Moon (unless you are doing Ha). Peter

I tried both of those and found the Baader far superior in performance. Peter

You will also need a UV/IR cut filter - I recommend the Baader Neodymium. You may also find a flip mirror helpful but try without first. Peter

That's what I use for planetary work. Yes you take avi which you then stack using software like AS!2 and Registax. You will need a laptop to be able to capture the videos. You cannot see what you are capturing without one. My Avatar was taken with the 224. Peter
