    Great image, nice to see some of the lesser know targets getting some attention. Did some sky scanning on Stellarium and came up with a few possible targets my 115 EDT might be able to get. Whale and Crowbar would make a good double.

    Rework is much better, first time had too much colour saturation.

    Well done, looks like guiding has worked. My screen is showing quite a bit of green tinge though.

    Nice idea. Hope it's not going to catch too much wind later. Just thinking if it's worth cutting holes or slots into it, it'll reduce the wind force from trying to blow it down and reduce the wind on you set up.

    Superbly detailed capture. I've been trying this target for a few nights but don't think my subs will be anywhere near this good.

    No idea how to do that on a Mac (Will have a google) but just had a thought, I only tried it on my old MacAir, I now have a MacBook Pro.

    By all accounts this one is excellent. https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/celestron-nexyz-3-axis-universal-smartphone-adapter.html

    And I'm on a Mac 🤣 Thanks anyway. I remember trying it (I'm using Ekos) and setting the profile to EQMOD and nothing happened. Will try it again today just in case it was an EKOS glitch.

    Good luck.

    With a standard USB cable ? Tell me more, pretty please.

    Have the selected target peaking out the side, not fully centred in the lens. Can get a little tricky sometimes.

    Very good for a short session.

    My AZ EQ6 has a USB B port in the handset to connect to computer and also one on the mount. Still no idea what the one on the mount does, can't connect to EKOS on my computer with it.

    Yup, satellites. With taking snaps of the moon with a phone, dial back the brightness, it'll reveal more detail. Might be worth getting a decent phone holder for through the eyepiece shots.

    If it was degrees and not seconds I would really be worried.

    Brilliant idea.

    I think thats just telling you how much off it thinks your PA is compared to 3 star. Ignore it. It's probably in the synscan user manual.

    That's why I suggested hook up ethernet cable, I was thinking that you could check the com port that way.

    Looks fine on my laptop straight on, no blue or green cast. When I tilt the screen there is a definite purpleness overall.

    Great image, well done.

    I wouldn't touch it at all.

    Not sure about that one, I was considering this until I nabbed a proper one in the for sale section earlier. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dorr-LT-2020-Viewing-Slides-Negatives/dp/B01MAVUM4X/ref=sr_1_16?crid=175BYN3AOU462&dchild=1&keywords=small+light+box&qid=1586520675&sprefix=small+light+box%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-16

    Try connecting the EQDir cable to ASIair then connect ASIair to computer via ethernet cable.
