54 x 2 minute subs. 9.25" Hyperstar / QHY8L on Avalon M-Uno mount. Guided and dithered with PH2 + Nebulosity. Processing in Nebulosity and MATLAB. 68% Moon, which may explain the lack of good colour? -
Connecting Gigabit Optical Cable - Pot to Router

Success! I must say that just today I have downloaded TeamViewer since I couldn't get my previous 'solution' of VNC working. Seems to work like a charm, using the 9-digit ID... I didn't know you could use IP addresses at all. Anyway, a vast improvement for us both, then! -

Eastern Veil - first light with my new (second-hand) QHY8L - and my first ever colour image. Taken on 21 Sep, 2017 @ 23:15 ~ 24:00 QHY8L camera @ -5 C Quattro 8" with CC Avalon M-Uno mount 10 x 5 minutes, guided & dithered (with PHD2 / Nebulosity) FLATS, BIAS, Bad pixel map, de-Bayer, and a bit of stretching and saturation (also in Nebulosity.) It's somewhat cropped since the CC spacing was a bit wrong. -

Entering A Minus Value On Synscan
AKB replied to TheMarsman's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
There are 60 arc minutes in a degree (and 60 arc seconds in an arc minute) so... 57.66 N = 57 degrees, 0.66*60 minutes = 40 minutes 4.34 W = 4 degrees, 0.34*60 minutes = 20 minutes ...forgetting the fractional minutes (which could be converted to seconds in the same way.) -

The longest and hottest day of the year (>30 degrees C) Rome wasn't built in a day, but there timber building and cement pier foundations were.
