    Just watched the ISS pass between the Moon and Jupiter, anyone else spotted this tonight.

    Can't get it to install on my Windows 10 Laptop .. I think it's due to missing .dll files according to an error pop up on screen.

    I have a budget of around £500 so think that might not be enough for all the bits, Also need to decide if the upgrade will give me much better images (I have included a few of my images). I would like to get a decent image of Saturn and Jupiter.

    Is it possible to get a good image of Jupiter and Saturn with a 500mm lens and Dslr camera using the Az-Gti in Alt-Az mode.?
  10. shropshire lad
    Hi.... Alt-Az mode question ..... I have leveled my mount and pointed north, chose a star from 1 star (e.g Mizar) now is it best to use sidereal tracking or point and track. Thanks Paul.

  16. shropshire lad
    Sorry dont fully understand your answer, If I lose the mask then I will lose the coloured halo's wont I .... Also the Sigma lens is the 150-600mm f5-6.3 C lens.
  17. shropshire lad
    Thank you for the replies. Yes it's quite difficult to fine tune the focus on my Sigma lens as just the slightest touch sends it way out. paul
  18. shropshire lad
    Or do I need to get it spot on ..... Canon 80D 600mm f5.6 Thanks
  19. shropshire lad
    Thanks Chewie65 .. actually that is something that I was thinking of trying, just need some dark skies to test it out .... need to see if I fit my batinov mask will the spikes show when zoomed in.

    @ONIKKINEN .. I have downloaded NINA but it won't recognise Canon cameras, only nikon in the drop down list. UPDATE ... OK eos utility was stopping it from seeing my Canon, removed Eos and my canon now in the list.
  21. shropshire lad
    Ok thanks again, I will have a play and see what I can achieve, just need the skies to clear of these pesky clouds. Paul

    @ONIKKINEN .. What progs or software will read and show the HFR, as I may be able to use a computer via wi/fi to remote my camera.
  23. shropshire lad
    @ONIKKINEN .. I'm using AZGTi in eq mode ... so do you sugest I do the 2 or 3 star alignment for polar without worrying too much on the focus, and then slew to a bright star closest to my intended target and do the focus only then.
  24. shropshire lad
    Canon 80D and 600mm lens ... and not using computer
  25. shropshire lad
    Thank you for the replies, I will focus on the moon (edge probably) lock focus to that and then fit my batinov mask, take a shot and zoom into my image and see if the line is central.
