Player One Uranus-C PRO. My first astro-camera! looking forward to: - Peaceful nights for me and neighbours without the clicky noise of my old nikon d3200. - Exposures longer than 30` 😃 - No more dark frames.

That link works. Thanks a lot!

@Leo ShatzI think your github link is missing the user and repo bits

Nice, Thanks for explaining!

Interesting project! Just wondering how you are characterising the gyroscope behaviour for these two: something is interfering with the OTA (animal, wind, snag..). a meridian flip went haywire

Thanks for the heads up! It looks like it is clearing here 🫰

Thanks for the info @PeterC65! I was not aware of Pro Astronomy. I am going to check their website. Seriously concidering the "uranus c pro"

Hi. Does anyone have info about the current state(October-2023) of UK suppliers for the Player One cameras? The only one seems to be darkclearskies dot com dot uk. Prices are about £100 more if comparing with the prices of player-one-astronomy dot com For people who has bought directly from player-one-astronomy dot com, how was the experience? taxes? Thanks

Hi @Astrofriend Thanks for the guide! It has been really helpful. Now I am waiting for the actual motor as I have been testing with a tiny stepper.

Thanks for the links! I found them useful.

Hi 👋 I have been waiting for months for my telescope's fist light and whilst I wait for my skies to clear.... Just wondering if y'all can advise on say the 10 easiest targets for the 130PS? Thanks

Nice image!

That's a very good point @Elp expending money on the remote acquisition device instead of expending on a new camera!

Thanks @Whistlin Bob I will have a look at the Altair 183c. I have been looking at the astro modified Canons as Indi supports most of the Canons but I am not sure if for the same price I could get a ok-ish dedicated astro camera.

Thanks for the suggestion @Elp I do own and intervalometer. I started with it first butt then moved into a having a raspberry pi to have a semi-remote setup(it is cold out there ). I have tried pairing the intervalometer with ekos but then I Iose all the nice things about ekos like managing targets, naming and timestamping the pictures taken.

Hi everyone A couple of months back I have bought a SW 130PDS reflector and I have been using it with an old D3200 Nikon camera . I have been trying to use the Kstars/Ekos/Indi combo but unfortunately the Indi drivers for the Nikon D3200 camera are really rough. I can only set exposures up to 30s and half of the time it does not work. That's the reason why I am searching for a dedicated astro camera . I know the cooled cameras are the best but at this moment in time I do not have the budget for that type of cameras. So I was wondering if I can recommendations for a not cooled astro-camera that is good value for money. My main goal for now is Galaxies and probably later nebulae. Thanks
