Anyone bringing a laptop with Firewire to SGL SP2018?
michaelmorris replied to michaelmorris's topic in SGL SP2018
Just a quick update. I've determined that it was the brand new PC card, not the camera that was faulty, so thanks Grant. I owe you. -
If you have a Skywatcher mount, then you will probably be using the EQmod ASCOM driver to control it. EQmod has built in hub functionality, so using a separate hub driver, such as POTH, is pointless. With EQmod I have planetarium software (Cartes du Ceil), guiding software (PHD) and camera control software (APT) all connected to mount simultaneously.

We've had a nice run of clear nights over the past week, so I've trying out my new ZWO ASi 294 MC Pro camera. It seems easy to use, but I've quickly learned that it takes around 10 minutes to get down to -20, so need to start the cooling cycle before I start telescope alignment if cooling time is not to delay the start of taking subs.

Great looking cake, happy birthday.

Lovely photo. Sorry to hear about the camera. -
200PDS+HEQ5 guidescope recommendations
michaelmorris replied to f33n3y's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
IMHO I wouldn't recommend using the standard SW finderscope bracket if you are using a finder/guider, it far far too much play in it. I use a cheap 9x50 finderscope for guiding, But I mount mine in a pair 3-point guidescope rings. Works a treat and no flexure. -
Okay, thanks.

The moons going to illuminate Uranus tonight... apparently!

Just to give you an idea as to how clueless local papers can really be. Oh the irony! -
Unless I've misunderstood something (quite possible), I though the point was that this was real images taken by the LRO satellite.

Love it. I am however struggling to understand why you have the roll off shed-type arrangement, when surely it have been easier to simply have the Tardis dematerialise?
