Ibbo!

They are trying to update the site so I'm told. My cam is on its way, it is being shipped from Canada and they are paying the imports etc.

Rosette compromised by the moon glow and some funky stars, maybe I have another scope that does not like the cold. TS OPTICS TS Imaging Star 71 14 x 1800s ha

A sad day. I like the idea of a dalek obs - maybe it would integrate the data.

Thanks It was in 6 frames and at a guess I would say its one of our local black headed gull mob.

have a look at the filters in the diagonal to see if they have not gone misty.

Ah thought it was the external like mine.

Well I can see a bit of detail in the video. Tuning looks a bit off though. I am confused on the 3 slots coment to tune rotate the front of the etalon and tweak the tilt to even the illumination across the disc. the metal pins act as a stop

Can you upload part or all of a ser or avi to You tube

I have installed a 1 TB WD NVMe that was on offer. So far I have used it for solar collection and get around 46 fps compared to the 58 fps on the Dell SFF with a samsung Me, but seeing as this is supposed to be used in the field I am quite happy with that so far. I have not cloned the Win 10 across is there a benfit to that ? The Venus sers i took the other day with 300 x 300 ROI did a whopping 390 fps The usb/serial arrived today at last and so did the snow so that will be tried tomorrow if the weather co-operates. So far i have the QSI CCD, lodestar,ZWO 178 mono, the Hitech astro hub,shoestring Dc focus controller, Nina and firecapture all up and running. Also Any desk. I plan to try Sharpcap as well. I would like a better 12v screen as I'm using a 12v TV at the moment that is a bit grainy. I am going to hook it to a PCmointor to see what thats like when I get the usb/serial and the mount up and running. I have run it via wifi indoors but not yet in the obs as I have a network for that and transfering 10 to 60 Gb of solar data is best done by cable. Baby steps.

Mercury and Venus this afternoon with the WO132 & ZWO 178mm using a 642 IR filter. Mercury also with the x2.5 powermate.

Even cooler today with a keen wind. Ha -Lunt 60mm with Coronado SM60 for D/S ZWO 178mm cam Cak 60mm Tak & Lunt 600 filter
