  1. Thanks. All the imagining data is captured to the NUC memory and is downloaded next day to a stick. That was the bit I was interested in.
  2. Just of interest, where does your data go? External drives and then to the final processing PC?
  3. Thanks both - I've tried Teamviewer in the past and found it glitchy. I'm quietly wondering if I can run Windows Remote and an NoMachine at the same time Experimenting costs nothing.....
  4. I have, finally, managed to almost complete a new observatory large enough for two mounts. Two mounts, 2 scopes/cams on each. A warm room attached keeps everything neat and close! A problem I have is finding a sensible, reliable, way to remote to the mounts - distance a massive 6 feet! In the warm room is a PC with 3 monitors (one's a Wacom tablet) - two main monitors are supposed to display each of the mounts' output - allowing control through ASCOM/Ciel/Sharpcap/various focusers etc. The Wacom tablet allows me to do some processing during a session. Each of the mounts has its own miniPC. Connection through wifi, with router in the obsy. *********The Issue******** I have tried Windows Remote, but although it generally works OK, it refuses to maintain a steady resolution on the two monitors, often leaving off the taskbar, no scrolling and not good quality display. Both NoMachine and Anydesk work - however when one mount PC is connected, the other disconnects. A drawback with the 'free' versions. Can anyone suggest any other remote software that allows active sessions for more than one headless PC at a time? Otherwise I'll have to install an old laptop and have 2 separate one-to-one systems. PCs are all Windows 11. (Laptop Windows 8)
  5. An almost all night aurora - sadly the moon gets in the way! But enjoy ... https://youtu.be/JglFz4UPMr8 Geoff
  6. I think most skip that sharpening in favour of more control in one of the other pieces of software. Try Astrosurface on the already stacked image.
  7. p.s. Have you tried any sharpening? Astrosurface/registax/photoshop or equivalent?
  8. Chuckles - It'll come with practice! Focusing is one of my issues as well, with a Mak 180 - it's not easy. I don't use a DSLR, but 100,000 frames seems a little excessive.
  9. Yep! Have yet to download - but it looks good - somewhat improved processing time.
  10. Looks good.. What did you use to stack?
  11. Marred somewhat by cloud, but still with some activity. Allskeye software running with two ZWO 178MC cams - Overhead and horizon timelapses On youtube : https://youtu.be/DrSIPVw_vZ0
  12. So that's where the dinosaurs migrated to.....
  13. Mind you, didn't one William Herschel suggest sunspots were cool enough for life?
  14. Of course we do, and yours are way better that what I managed this morning, trying to image through a thickening veil of cirrostratus. Nicely captured!
