  1. My little Tak all suited and booted. Will soon be put back to visual only once i decide what to replace it with for imaging. Not that it isn't very good - just that i have rarely used it for quick grab and go visual session over the past few months.
  2. It does look like a fancy bombay mix - but, i have no idea what it is. May have been pot-pourri at some point although it doesn't smell of anything. It just appeared sometime ago probably when the wife bought some more cushions.
  3. Hope this counts - my indoor setup - sharpcap and a pint an ideal match. Already starting imaging M13 so cannot take a photo of the actual kit at the moment.
  4. Hi @badhex hopefully it was a one off. This one was fine no dangly bits anywhere.
  5. Snap. Another desiccant cap for me too and some more bric a brac. The Askar dovetails are a nice addition from FLO. Lots of holes and colour choices.
  6. Hi @kraman63 Very little help from me. I always plug the mount into the same port. I had something similar before when I plugged into a random one. Also have you tried a different cable and unsure if you are using windows 7 as that seems to have issues.
  7. Another simple upgrade. The supplied azimuth bolts are quite small and finicky to use especially when wearing gloves. Ordered a pair of longer azimuth bolts from FLO and much much better.
  8. Another superfast delivery from FLO. William optics guide scope yet more lynx astro cables and a pair of long azimuth bolts. Much more usable than the supplied ones that came with my cem26 mount.
  9. A pocket powerbox advance and a pegasus PSU 12V / 10A – 120W. Just the one PSU now rather than 1 each for the mini pc, powered hub and mount. Seems a nice piece of kit. Think i'll spend a couple of hours practicing cable management.
  10. I recently added a pier it's sturdy than it looks. As to iPolar i use this for a rough alignment then onto SharpCap to refine.
  11. More than happy to edit. However @SteveNickolls has a brilliant thread on the GEM28 and don't wish to intrude on those posts.
  12. Only 60 x 20 second exposures with the ZWO ASI 485MC. 10 darks no flats. Pleased i got something! - Backyard Bortle 7. Takahashi FS60-CB, Flattener, Astronomik L2 UV-IR filter, iOptron CEM26.
  13. A payday treat all ordered from Flo. May as well take advantage before the fuel bills land on the doormat. 🙄 Pier for the cem26 (more substantial than it looks it will do just fine), more blue plate and some accessories - cable, spacers, parfocal rings and a finder shoe.
  14. Lovely. Chuffed. Love the word now that is how to describe an item.
