Hi Barry, Appreciate that you don't want to split but if you change your mine then I would be interested in the HEQ5. I'm pretty local to you so could easily collect. Please PM me if this is of interest Many thanks Vern

I'd like the dovetail please. Many thanks Vern

I don't believe you need the Pro version. I have found the free Sharpcap and a basic guidescope camera work really very well.

Welcome from just up the road near Stockbridge

I use this fantastic scope with a ASI120MC and a 130PDS/200PDS. Guiding is good and Sharpcap PA works great. No idea about the AR0130C as I have not used one.

Hi Galen, Yes guided with PHD2 and a ASI120MC :-)

Taken from my back garden in Hampshire over 2 consecutive nights (18th/19th April) Skywatcher 130PDS on an EQ5. Using PHD2 with an ASI120MC Unmodified canon 350d 25 x 240s at ISO1600 20 bias + 20 flats Processed in PS using an Arcsinh stretch. Hope you like it :-) Thanks Vern

Last nights Leo triplet 24 x 240s subs 130PDS + EQ5 + Unmodified 350d PHD2 guided with ASI120MC Pleased with this one :-)

Hi Mike, Many thanks for the response. I have been trying to find the lens you mentioned but can't find a match. Closest I found was an Arecont 1.55mm. If you could send me a link it would be much apprecaited Thanks again Vern

Hi all, I am after a 180 degree fish eye lens for an ASI120M. I am building an all sky camera and am after something better than the standard ZWO supplied 150 degree lens. Many thanks Vern

Drop me a PM if you'd like to buy mine. Hardly used :-)

If you're still after a mount, then I have one of these which I would be happy to sell as I no longer use it. https://uk.telescope.com/Orion-SteadyPix-Pro-Universal-CameraSmartphone-Mount-125/p/109822.uts Moderators, please remove this message if not appropriate :-)

HLVG is a plugin. I think it is free or very close to it! It removes green from images. Astronaut Pro is another plugin to remove gradients. I think it works really well. The Arcsinh stretch uses an action I put together based on Mark Shelleys excellent arcsinh stretch...Just search this forum for Arcsinh. I think I over stretched my image but it shows what lies beneath!

Just for the sake of comparison I had a quick go in Photoshop! Used Astroflat Pro to remove gradient Adjusted black point Applied Arcsinh curve Used ALVG to remove a green effect That's about it!
