  1. Thank you all for your sugguestions and help, this is the problems i have got as regards streetlights using my 6inc newtonian reflector so i got one streetlight by my next door neighbours on side of their front garden then when i turn to east i got another one which is on other side of the road. Then like when winter etc comes but at moment i have only got one house whose garden light attached to their house coming on that one lights up, where the one who causes me too much problem is when it turns on the neighbour across the road on the east side basically diagonal left soon as someone walks by even those walking dogs, vehicle drivers inc wildlife it comes on and lights up the whole house to point i have to wait ages before starting again. But thank you all so much for coming back to me etc once again.
  2. Thing is mike i am very limited i think what i can or cannot do on my front garden but i will have a think about it etc thank you for getting back to me and coming up with ideas.
  3. Thank you john for replying .It is and i am looking around at various ones at the moment because where i live i have light pollution so bad when using my astronomy telescope at night with not only two streetlights at the diagonal but i have those with garden lights who turns on inc off at the slightest of movement and when get vehicles moving of course trigger those lights off takes about 5 mins or more for those types of lights to turn off. I put my telescope mount etc onto my garden slabs to work and if there are pegs with it or not i am hoping something will attach down to that type of ground and hold, i am looking around and researching inc see if there are ones which can withstand any strong winds during the day of using it with the solar telescope also.
  4. Hello i am wondering if any of you can help me please or give some advice ? i am looking into getting a tent where the telescope can work inside it and use the laptop inside etc as i am suffering really bad light pollution inc finding it hard to look at even during the daytime my laptop screen whilst doing some solar photography with a solar telescope. What i am wondering is those who have bought a tent what are your views on it and what is it like to work inside it along with having light pollution taken out and what is it like working on concrete garden slabs does it need pegs to hold in place? It is one of those mak 2 or something observing telescope tent i am looking into and researching into before deciding to buy i would like to know people views on it. If had any problems with it like any pros or cons etc. I hope this makes sense and is in right section apologies if this does not make any sense i have borderline learning disabilities and some speech problems so what is easy for me to say inc read some people find it hard if do not understand what i am saying i do not mind getting the link from a website for you all to have a look at to give your views.
  5. Thank you James and no problems at all as everyone has different types of cameras for astrophotography whether it be an altair product that might have either CMOS or CCD etc. I did not know that at all about Bresser were manufactured by a company called Touptek which is the software i have got for the camera. I think got Toupcam or Touptek not sure i will have to have a look on my laptop when i next use it but if i can use for the camera maybe sharpcap or something i can be happy with no matter if results start off as bad then get a lot better as i try this is all a learning curve for me i must admit 🤔😱🙂. Also this sort of thing is also a lot of trial and error to find out not only best software to use but working out how things will work.
  6. So extremely sorry i did not get back to you way sooner i had everyone else’s threads popping up and somehow missed yours of trying to answer back but this is the camera i have got by clicking the link. https://www.telescopehouse.com/astro-imaging/ccd-cmos-cameras/bresser-cameras/bresser-full-hd-deep-sky-camera-guider-1-25.html So if i do the right ascension and declination as little tiny movements while looking through the polar scope it should align polaris where it should be then? My mount is an EQ3 the basic same as my skywatcher 150p newtonian reflector (6 inches) for the primary mirror. When i put the camera into the eyepiece i do not need to worry about putting an eyepiece in first at all but just put the camera in use sharpcap muck around with it to get everything all in a straight line etc and read everything sharpcap can do to give clear crisp images in both photo and video form as regards the stacking etc?
  7. No worries we all try something as first object as either a case of hmm what shall i target first at night which is the moon and then during the day it is only the sun or for example i am not sure when it is or was but for example the moon is supposed to be out during the day with jupiter in opposition meaning on view in daylight only way catch it is by using either a solar telescope or the night telescope and plonk a filter cover over top of it. My mount is the EQ3 which is unfortunately not the pro model but i just wish they brought out a holder for the small power box as they have done for the other mounts so do not put stress on the cables etc as not all cables are long anyway. Thank you for the information about how to try aiming photos and images at the sun , the only problem is earth atmospheric turbulence which happens both day and night unfortunately when comes to at night it is even worse because yes it is more noticeable then than no doubt during the day. When i view the sun i turn my mount facing south just operate it that way because if i pointed it north the whole thing it would put the solar telescope upside down and i would be working out why doing that but by pointing it south makes it a lot easier the whole solar telescope is pointing upside up also moves to the right with no problems. When comes to imaging the sun need to then even by video would have to set for example the gain and seconds of recording even imaging making sure that everything is on seconds to do things when comes to imaging the sun.

  8. It is not a problem at all as i am a complete beginner myself in astrophotography inc imaging with something like this as i normally use my nikon B500 coolpix camera go on full zoom and get photos of the moon on automatic settings but i thought i will give a proper camera that does everything of planetary and deep sky both imaging even recording as something else to do while i carry on using my nikon camera to get photos of the moon or set it on record for slow star trails.
  9. Thank you Alan for getting back to me and sorry for really late reply back. So everything as regards once done everything will not only be clearer and sharper images also mean if i get this right then i would have no problems at each time of using it so more i do and practice polar alignment,
  10. Thank you foe getting can and sorry for late reply. I have as regards the sun a coronado solar telescope with i think 10 or 15 inch blocking filter so it has all the protection it needs even though the camera i think has a cooling sensor on it not sure have to double check to be on safe side.
  11. Thank you for getting back to me and sorry for late reply i will have a look at the youtube video see ways to do polar alignment with only using the mount part and use the wifi dongle to move the telescope in hope get polaris centred as best can. The other thing is as i do not have a guide scope but a finder would it be ok to link the camera through the reflector eyepiece and still i take it need to do the star alignment also.
  12. Thank you for getting back to me and extremely sorry for the late reply back. So for example if i did not do polar alignment with the camera i would get the effect of star trails and show only polaris. I do not mind having a go at star trails as then it gives me something i can not only work with but learn ways to fix the problem to prevent it happening again.
  13. I hope this is in the right section also Hello I was looking at a software programme called Sharpcap and as i have a Bresser planetary and deep sky camera hd. I am wondering if i need to do a polar alignment on my eq3 mount to use the camera and software as i am a bit confused. Because i am going on youtube and seeing people attaching the cameras straight away to their newtonian reflectors and not into the guide scope, what i am wondering is as i do not have a guide scope is it ok to just put the Bresser planetary and deep sky camera hd into my newtonian reflector eyepiece and just take photos striaght away or recording images also would it be the same when doing the sun if i have to do a polar alignment or just put the camera striaght to the eyepiece ? I am getting bit confused as regards if i have to do a polar alignment by attaching the camera in the eyepiece or do i have to buy a guide scope or use my finder scope (if can take the weight of it being attached etc considering it is big the planetary and deep sky camera) i hope this makes sense if not then i will try again as best can to explain it but thank you for help and replies apologies if i do not answer as it is late in the night for me over here in the uk)
  14. Thank you for getting back to me. Basically if i understand it right then when i take either photos or do recording if i put the gain settings on something like 30% for example that would make the image bright enough on both recording and photographing with it ? The other thing i have is where i live i got problems of street lights and a neighbour on other side of our street which is a diagonal house is there a way i can even though i got no dew shield to take the light out or just use my telescope cap cover and take one cap off still can do photography and recording? Because when i got when neighbour light come on due to people not only walking by but vehicles in our street triggering it will that cause same as led streetlights effect the imaging mode to point i still have to go brighter again or go darker down to about 20% to cut out that excess light? This is the problem where i live there is way too might light pollution and i only have one place i can go to do not only observing etc but is the only dark sky recognised place at the moment which makes it difficult trying to find right balance of taking out any unwanted lights aswell.
  15. Thank you for your help and getting back to me my telescope is a skywatcher 150p newtonian reflector on an eq3 mount of the synscan handset although i use now the little skywatcher wifi dongle. I will try sharp cap give it a go see what results i get my focus on the telescope is manual so when i adjust the focus i can watch it happening on the laptop even adjust the brightness through the laptop. So with sharp cap i can use it to take both photos and record what would be the best seconds for taking photos and also how long for recording along with sorry for asking the noise reduction is it best to have it on low to cut out the amount of noise level or if have it on high show things i do not want like say all background noise to ruin main part of the picture that i am taking.
