  1. Hi agreed looks straight in line , then it means something else is in the light path- does your focuser stick out much ? Harry
  2. Hi extra star spikes you show going round in a circle are normally caused by a bright star bouncing off the edge off your secondary so black these up inc the small ground edge if you have one ( I suspect you have ) The extra spike is caused by the veins not being parallel to each other , do have to be straiht in line but parallel so put a straight edge down each vein and check the opposite is completely parallel with it . this should remove your extra spike Regards Harry
  3. Hi yes a interesting program , which I am giving a go at learning , a alternative to the like of SGP - perhaps a bit different in operation and use but seems very stable so far. driving the author potty with my questions worth a look though Harry
  4. Hi I have a mesu and there is a bug in the sitech controller , in which when I first connect it decides to slew off wildly for no reason does drive me potty and only does this once in a while , the sitec controller is good but also is buggy sometimes after stopping tracking , I can not get it to start again without a reboot of the controller !!!!! I must try and find out why it does this but have found its difficult to get these bugs resolved anyway enough off my winge , anybody else have these Harry
  5. Hi wow wish my first go was this good glad the old vids still help as well Harry
  6. Hi I have got one of these and just a small note the Vixen bar on the bottom is not , its several mm to small and a vixen clamp will not grip it , do find it strange why a silly mistake like this is made Might save you buying a vixen clamp like me ? Cheers Harry
  7. Hi I see the pro version offers 2 camera use , but I presume this means 1 for capture and 1 for guiding ? as most people do not have unguidable mounts Harry
  8. Hi thanks for the reply--cant beat a good video , I have just made prism crash on my first go with my sx h35 camera now this may not be a fair go as I have had problems with this computer using other programs as well so may be hardware related I wish to try prisim on my shed computer can I do this ? or am I restricted to 1 computer Harry
  9. Hi So rebuilt the old newt and mounted here up , Having a few balance problems and a bit more slippage in dec than I like ( ra seems fine ) all we need is clear skies Harry

  11. Hi Yes I seem to get on better with ignor ! seemed a shame not to use them though Harry
  12. Hi well This is probaley the worst image I have posted for a long time , tilted focal plane . tak not collimated well , spacing from reducer wrong only 3 10min Ha subs next to 3/4 moon before the clouds rolled in BUT I got the mesu going SGP talked to the mount and PHD did the guiding ok A few little niggles left , mainley being using the mesu with the encoders connected did not work well -- seemed to be slewing forever and seemed to be bouncing back and forth around the target even in polite mode , so I switched them off all went well ( sgp sent the mesu to 1 pix precision ) More practice required Regards Harry
  13. Hi well it 3 things really 1) I wanted to make use of my existing conc base ( There is over a ton in there !) 2) I want to flip as little as possible and this give me more options 3) I like to make things difficult for myself Regards Harry
  14. Hi Had a few hours today ( bathroom nearly done ) Got the pier in and the mesu mounted on it also started wiring up Long way to go but things are looking up Harry
  15. Hi well that is very nice indeed A bit of LHE in pixinsight may give it a bit more contrast Harry
  16. Hi I have a mount hub pro ( Ver 1 ) and are very happy with it , I was hopeing it would run the mesu When I get set up I will give it a go Harry

  20. Hi Her is a pic Little monster ver The beast And yes many thanks for your short manual been a great help ( Even though I have read Sitech ona as well , because I am mad ) Just a note for things that did not work for me The ascom link for the Sitechexe 0.90p did not install the ascom driver for me , but then downloaded the 0.91T version and this worked fine When configuring Sitechexe and I had the mount conected I could not select the correct COM port ( Did not show at all ) so disconected mount restarted Sitechexe and was able to select the right com port ( 3 in my case ) and then all was well It might be just my set up ( windows 10 dell laptop ) Again many thaks for yout hard work Regards Harry
