Hello Guys
Quick question regarding flats. I`m REALLY struggling with mine!!! I currently use an ASI 1600 MM Pro and these scopes...
TS65 Quad apo
150 PDS
These filters... Optolong L pro and Baader NB filters.
I`ve tried various values using APTs flats aid with little to no success. Would anyone care to help with settings / rough exposure times with their 1600??
Regards
Alan

Deep Sky channel on You Tube did a video for this a few days ago...

You just follow the instructions. Like i said the trickiest part is adjusting the mount. You obviously have to have the camera on loop and you`ll need to wait for it to refresh so you can see if your moving in the right direction...

Its brilliant and very easy to use. The hardest part i find is the adjustments on the mount......the HEQ5 doesn`t have the best ones!!! As long you have a reasonably sensitive guide camera your good to go.... Can`t comment on the Polemaster as i`ve never used one so can`t compare...

Hello
Recently picked one up. I`m struggling with setup (the focal reducer is the variable 0.7x). I bought it with the intention of using it with my Modded Canon 450d. I`m struggling with coma on my images. If anyone has / had one please get in touch.
Thanks for looking

You can`t buy lens collars for the 135 sadly. I used a canon 200 mm f2.8 usm on my SA and its around the same weight. It should be ok on the bracket with good PA and balance...
