My first true HOO with 130PDS, the Bubble Nebula (NGC7635) Setup: 130PDS, CGEMii Mount, Asiair plus, ASI 183MM cooled @-10°C, guiding with 290MM mini & Vario finder (61/250), filter Astronomik 5nm Ha: 20 x 300s Oiii: 28 x 300s with DOF, AstroPixelProcesor & Pixinsight processing

Two EEA last images with 130PDS, process: Sharpcap + Pixinsight M16: 44x15s = 600s =============== M8: 26x15s =390s ==============

I practice EEA with the 130PDS & a cooled ASI 183MM camera. Review of some images of the last month. Acquisition: Sharpcap Alignement: Sharpcap or APP Image processing: Pixinsight IC5146: Halpha (20x30s) + CLSCCD (Luminance) (20x15s) = 900s, Alignement with APP & finishing with Pixinsight (I am a noob with this soft) =========================================================================================== It is my first composite image M108 (Surfboard Galaxy): 16x60s=960s, Sharpcap + Pixinsight ========================================= M51: 19x15s, Sharpacp + Pixinsight ========================== M101: HDR of 5 images for around 90 mn stacking, sharpcap + APP + Pixinsight ===================================================== A lot of pleasures with this amazing tube

I have installed a new camera: ASI 183MM cooled It is Visual assisted, hence the integration time is very low: 285 s

Hello James, thank you for your answer, It could not possible to install raw19 & raw20 in the same time. If I want to install raw19, a lot of libraries (some indi) are uninstalled. I will not do that, I have not the level to build it again. So I will wait. If you have any informations and/or answers about this issue, could you inform me in this topic. Many thanks, Kaelig

Hello James, I have download oacapture_1.8.0-1_armhf.deb I have placed it in /usr/share/repertory I have made: sudo dpkg -i oacapture_1.8.0-1_armhf.deb I have installed all the dependencies: libhidapi-libusb0, libqt4-network, libqtcore4, libqtgui4 without problems But I have one with libraw19 ... it block the installation, but libraw20 is yet installed on the SM (1.5.6) If I want to replace libraw by the 19 version, the soft installation request to remove all indi libs. So I have stopped the try. Could you give me some advices for this issue? the message are: "sudo dpkg -i oacapture_1.8.0-1_armhf.deb (Lecture de la base de données... 127196 fichiers et répertoires déjà installés.)

Thank you James for your answer 😉 I will try, I could make commands line in SM. I will try the installation. I will give news as soon as I have installed it. Kaelig

Hello James, I use astroberry where I have discovered oacapture. I want to install it on my other setup with stellarmate. Could you give me the indications in order to install it on my SSD with SM. Thank you for your help. I want also to test oalive because I practice visual assisted. Thank your for your help.

Beautiful, a pleasure for the eyes

Hi Bob, Thank you for your answer. Due the important budget, hence the result is important. I could not buy a camera in the mode see & wait. The bundle Atik camera and its software is very efficient. Due to the limits of the AZ goto mount, I have bought an equatorial one (EQM-35). I have also installed a bundle Raspberry 4 with Stellarmate in order to drive the mount & make live plate solving. So my setup changes offer me new opportunities with better goto accuracy (EQM35), position correction (Ekos) & shoot time. I see two ways, ATIK or ZWO: ATIK is the simplier way, I have one, I buy a second one. ZWO is the more active in this moment, its new products are better. In France, a lot of people buy ZWO products. but perhaps it is not the good way ... what are you thinking about that?

Hello Everybody, Here in little britain, it's cloudy. I want to have some advices for my camera change (next year). I have an Atik infinity colour for Visual Assisted: short time exposure, no post-treatment, ... I want an another camera in order to increase the resolution & gets more beautiful colour image of the deep sky. There are so many cameras & so many manufacturers, that I do not know what I could choose. What are your advices? thanks for your help (of course with a 130PDS)

Hello, everybody, I have an Atik Infinity color and I very satisfied of this product. In order to complete my setup, I would buy an Atik Base for driving my setup with Stellarmate & power the different elements. I don't find the informations I need: - how you could attach the Atik base to your setup? - Is is raspberry 3 or 4 embedded in the box? - What are the current abilities of the three 12V outputs? & - What are the differences between the Stellarmate of Jasem & the Stellarmate of Atik. I look for these informations on the Atik web site: no screenshot, no documents & no videos. I have sent an email to their support with these request but for the moment, I have receive any answers. Do someone use this Atik Base & could share its experience & the informations about this product with us. Thank you for the help.

This evening, I have used for the first time the Bathinov 3D mask (model found on this post) Images are attached, I am happy, it is better than old one I have got. Many thanks to the person who have made this 3D model & the person who share it on this post.

Here, clouds & clouds since one month, so I could not image. Yes, of course, I will test without & with. When the tests will be done, I will post the results here, nice black sky for everyone

No one to answer me? I am alone? eh oh ... someone here?
