  1. hi all, I let my power tank die and when I try to charge it, it lights up for 2 seconds and then it ''clicks'' and then stops charging... is there any fix for this? thanks Jon
  2. Thanks, I didn't realise it wasn't an easy target..... I was just very brutal when it came to throwing out poor quality subs, and there was a lot of them ?
  3. I messed around for ages, the only way I could see anything resembling an image was messing about with saturation and hue levels, the image was almost black when it came into gimp....the problem is I'm left with this orange glow and if I try to get rid of it the image virtually loses all data....... to be fair they are only 15 second subs and I'm using an alt/az mount with no guiding... it's in the north sky so I have had to delete lots of star trailed subs...... maybe it would easier if I can ever get round to finishing my wedge... ?
  4. I will try that....... there are lots of people on here that recommend what NOT to do... ? ok ye I'll keep at it. Cheers
  5. Hi all. Any tips on how to pull my image though using gimp? I have the pinwheel galaxy but it's completely black apart from the odd star... it looked brighter in dss. I know the data is kind of there because when I use the auto tools such as auto white balance or auto desaturate I can quite clearly see the galaxy but it looks crap. I have messed about a bit using techniques from various books but to no avail without using the auto tools it's virtually non existant. Thanks Jon
  6. Ordered a wireless one. Little things eh!! Perfect thanks
  7. Hi all. I already have a remote control that I can press once to take a shot with my canon... when I want to take around 50 subs I don't want to be pressing the remote over and over... is there anything out there that will take that chore away for me....
  8. Had good customer service from these. Dew heater and a long lead for my power tank. Works a treat and I got a hand written note with my delivery which is a nice touch. Great price. Very pleased
  9. wow, I've never even heard of a binoviewer, I always wondered why that hadn't been invented yet haha. does that limit the view at all? detail wise? I've never had a goto telescope and always thought that it was quite lazy to have one without knowing the sky well, almost like having an automatic car and having never used a manual one....... I've got to that point in life where I just want to see things and this is my best shot I think..... I've given up being proud ? apparently I need a power pack too!
  10. Thanks John. I keep seeing the baader zoom eyepiece and it did stick out to me. Thanks for the advice
  11. Hi. I have recently purchased a nexstar se8" I am wondering if anyone could recommend a good zoom eyepiece. I do have a few eyepieces that I use for my skywatcher but I've never purchased a zoom eyepiece before as I was put off them once when I first bought my telescope. The convenience of it strikes me mostly, I'm a complete novice in comparison to others on this forum and would like some advice. Thanks in advance jon
