"No disassemble!"

16 X 30 sec exposures via Sharpcap. No darks or flats. ZWO ASI290MC on Skywatcher 150P Newt and Heq5Pro. Stacked in DSS and tweaked in Gimp. As you can see, I have some focus issues. I used a Bahtinov but it is still very soft?

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.

Good luck with the build. I will follow this with interest.

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.

OK. Thanks Steve.

And breath.......

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.

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

So look at the moon?

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!
