"No disassemble!"
-
Last night was my first imaging session of this year and the first time I have used my new To me laptop and Sharcap. My previous laptop- a Macbook was incompatible with Sharpcap so I used ASIcap but wanted to go Windows when I could as it opened up more possibilities. ZWO ASI290MC on my C6 and Heq5Pro combo. 500 frames, best 25% stacked in Autostakkert! A bit of Gimp tweaking then converted to PNG in Paint.net and cropped in Picture Editor.

Nice detail in there John.

That must have been one hell of a curry!

Cool footage. Love the way it expands on the description I listened to on the night.

Are there any plans to part ship orders? I ask as I have an outstanding order from early January where one part was in stock, one was expected in 10-15 days and the last awaiting shipping in 30 to 40 days. The short wait part is now in stock but the 30-40 wait part (Astrozap flexi heat dew shield for Celestron 6" SCT notched) is still showing a wait time of 30-40 days. -

I have returned to apologise for overstating my situation. When I said lawn, what I should have said was area of scrubby grass and moss. -

Did mine at 22:00 tonight and, after 10 minutes adaptation, hiding in the shadow of my house, I managed 18 stars from my garden in the middle of Marlow. It would have been far less just parked in the middle of the lawn. -
Starbase, Tokyo (or... 'the Takahashi Shop!') **Warning - Pic heavy!

Tokyo is a fantastic city to explore and you have just given me a reason to go back! -

May not work but, technology being the wonder that it is, the left hand (software) may not be telling the right hand <controller) what it is doing!
