I haven't used my telescope for a long time but my son wanted to look at the moon as it was clear. This was captured in full resolution using a capture of 1000 frames using the latest version ASICap and then I used ASIVideoStack with all the default settings to produce the image.

Hi, Just a thought if you are using a Windows PC there are USB power management features in power management that can be disabled. Hope you get it sorted. Craig -

Trying to identify the name for the large slipped disc crater
CP30 posted a topic in Imaging - Lunar
Hi, Here is an image that I captured with my C11 and ZWO 224mc, I have stacked the image with AutoStakkert 3 and enhanced the image with Gimp by changing the levels. Can anyone please tell me the name of the slipped disc type Crater in the top centre of the image? Sorry if I have posted in the wrong section. Many thanks -

Do you know what Handset you have with the CGEM? is it a Nexstar or Nexstar+ Looking at CFM in the following location http://software.celestron.com/updates/CFM/CFM/ There is a Version PDF file that has the Nextstar+ GPS fix http://software.celestron.com/updates/CFM/CFM/Firmware_Revision_History.pdf (I cannot see the Nexstar Handset listed in the PDF) Looking on the Teamcelestron beta site I can see that the Nexstar Handset has a fix available to download, you can join for free but have to wait for an admin to authorise you to be able to read and download the Nexremote beta fixes. You can request to join TeamCelestron here http://www.teamcelestron.com/ucp.php?mode=register I hope this may help. Craig

Thanks, I didn't realise how hard this is with a refractor seems so sensitive to focus.- 12 replies

Hi, Just a quick update on the 72ed, I can get focus using the 2" Diagonal with the Altair GPCAM and the GPCAM2130M, but my ASI224MC and the Skyris 618m cannot focus. Really please with the scope, here is a quick snap of the moon using a GPCAM130m- 12 replies

Hi, Sorry for the silly questions but I am trying to find out what the correct back focus should be for a Sky-watcher 72ed, I have searched high and low on the internet for a manual thinking this would tell me. I have a few CCD's but these have been used for planets using a CPC925, I have got a skyris 618m, ASI224mc, Alatir GPcam and a Alatir GPCAM 2 mono for guiding. I would like to try my 72ED with a ASI224MC and try some DSO imaging, when I tried to focus with the ASI I could not achieve focus. 1) Do I need a 50mm 2" extension for a DSLR and a 80mm 2" extension tube for a CCD. 2) Do I need a field flattener and a smaller extension tube if the flattener is used? 3) What would be a good CCD for imaging with a 72ed refractor? Any help or advice would be great Many thanks Craig
