  1. This is mine and of course its not a GP but a GPD
  2. Well this is embarassing, I have just been out to look at mine and there is no plate. In my defence it has been sat on that tripod in the same place for about 3 years its my alternative mount that is semi perm. Sorry no help from me.
  3. I will have a look at mine tomorrow afternoon and measure up for you if no body comes in beforehand.
  4. Thanks, there was the almost constant thin high cloud again yesterday. Today has been very wet and we have the indoor water feature back in the garage, thought I had cured it.
  5. Yes in daylight it does look like it. Back away from the unsharp mask tool Steve.
  6. Same here unless I abuse the mount - plenty of weight on the c/w shaft and on the dec axis.
  7. Double stack today with a touch more elevation and less H2O filter. Sky-Watcher 80 ED pro · Lunt LS60THa/B1200 ZWO Asi178 mono Takahashi NJP Temma 2 Software: Autostakkert 2 · IMPPG · Photoshop CS4 · Firecapture Lunt Solar Systems Lunt CaK BF600 · Coronado SM60 double Stack Do the clicky thing for for res.
  8. Yes I was back up the ladder this afternoon and got some shots before they went into the murk.
  9. A lot of waiting and rain dodging gives first light to the 178 mono Single stack only the D/S did not turn out due to the clouds. Do the clicky thing for full res.
  10. I have both rain and sun at the moment.
  11. Looks to me like ice on the cover slip or chip. Maybe a change or recharge of the dessicant (if it has some) is needed. I use a small dew band on my SX 694 to keep it free and turn said band off when imaging.
  12. I fired up the meteor scatter as I was about to hit the sack and recorded these. pity I can't see to get the conditional actions to work and record while I get some kip. Mores the pity I am not as young and fit as I used to be and up in N Yorks camping watching them.
  13. We are in tier 3 so i don't think going on a trip to catch the conjunction would go down well.
  14. Thanks. I intend on using a scope nearer the closest approach and if it is clear I think it will be an early afternoon daylight session for me.
  15. Getting nearer. I did have a false start and had to relocate. Canon 7D 120-300 lens and a set of ladders.
  16. Great -now can we please have a couple hours of sunny weather please to go along with it.
  17. I fitted a EQ5 Go-To kit to mine when the SS2000 gave up the ghost. Quite easy to fit and works well. The fit could be a bit better but you cannot see it in the dark.
  18. I have moved my post so as not to distract from the OP's in California nebula thread. I found that the Ha & S2 were much stronger. Here are my NB stacks from earlier this year. Not saying there is no O3 but it is very subtle in my captures or do i have a problem with the O3 data. Ha O3 S2
  19. IIRC the Jellyfish in Gemini is the same.
  20. It stopped the 127 hitting the ground. It won't connect I suspect it is the USB connector. I was rushing to swap to Ha.
  21. WL only as I have broken the Chameleon Bresser 127 Herschel Wedge
  22. I restacked and processed the Ha and WL from the other day
