Hi Mark

Yes that was the next thing I was going to try with Starnet++

1st try in processing. 2nd ever Narrowband.
40 x 2 minute HA
30 x 2 Minute S2
30 x 2 Minute O3

40 Darks
30 Flats
30 Dark Flats

Critcism welcome.

Think theres a little less noise and some more colour.

My first ever Narrow band image.

30 Minutes each of 5 minute exposures HA, O3 & S2 using Hubble Palette in Pixinsight. Gain I made a mistake should have been 200 but used 75 as I reloaded Nina and forgot to change it back from defaults

The 03 filter is giving me halo's on big stars. I need to find out how to fix this (Either by hardware or post processing). I have some elongated stars on 2 sides. Caused mainly by the 5 minute exposures. Tilt maybe an issue? Guiding was 0.53 RMS.

ADM MDS Series Dovetail Adapter.

Attach accessories directly to a MDS series dovetail bar. Incorporates a split clamp design that grips the dovetail bar along the entire surface of the saddle and will not dent or scratch the dovetail bar. The dovetail clamp has a large “T” handle locking knob for tool free operation, spring loaded jaws, anodized aluminum and stainless steel construction.

Handy for attaching other items to your bar. I bought these to mount a guide scope on top of my main scope but changed scope which already had attachments. These are normally £40 each.

£40 the pair including postage. Paypal friends and family or you pay the fees.

Just added a lot more colour for the colour addicts. Neutralised background and done a colour correction.

Same here! Got it two days ago... weather was splendid until then

 

Let us know what your tracking RMS is like. Hoping for around 0.8 RMS with good polar alignment.

Used twice then upgraded mount. This is the better cable that does not change com ports each time you plug it in. So you don't have to keep reconfiguring and finding the com port. Works with Windows 10 drivers automatically for me.

Paid £38 including postage.

Yours for £25 including recorded delivery.

Can post tomorrow morning.

Just arrived 5 minutes ago and I looked at the forecast and got this

Hi, what is the minimum diameter a scope must have to fit the rings? To make life easier, what is the distance between screw’s tips when screwed in all the way through?

thanks

Hi David good questions 55m scope fits so 60mm guide scope or above would be preferable.

The Enhanced Moonfish® 30mm 80° ULTRAWIDE is a very serious wide-angle 2" eyepiece. The eyepiece has five elements of fully multi-coated (FMC), high-index glass, with a high light transmission, allowing your telescope to be pushed to its magnitude limits.at a very affordable price. Contrast and correction is good for very low powered wide-angled viewing of those larger deep sky objects.

Concealed beneath the new rubber eyecup, great for those cold winter nights, you'll find a thread to accept M49 camera adaptors. Perfect for afocal camera imaging with a wide variety of film and digital cameras.

Main features

Focal length: 30 mm
Apparent Field of View: 80°
Fully multi-coated
Barrel: 2" / 50.75 mm
Rubber eyecup
M49 camera thread
Elements: 5 elements in 3 groups
Eye relief: 22 mm
Field stop: 40.8 mm
Weight: 570g (1.2lb)
Length: 114 mm (4.5")

Am I correct in thinking the screws have been cut down in length, as they are longer on the RVO picture....?

HI they were bought from new, they have not been modified they are just over 1.5 inches long if that helps. It's probably because mine arent screwed right in like there's. Heres another picture of them screwed in. Hope that helps.

I never got round to using these. Complete with nylon tipped screws to protect your hardware. Quality metal rings from ADM. They are £80 plus postage new.

I can get them in the post tomorrow morning.

I have been extremely happy with this mount but it's time to upgrade to something more substantial.

It was Hypertuned by Dark Frame Optics a few years ago including belt drive and ceramic bearings. Cost £508

I sent back the mount late last year for a checkup and service and is warrantied for another 18 months.

I am asking £895 £795 (for quick sale) on this mount which I think is a fair price. Collection only because of the weight and size.

Regards David
