    Very nice and I love the stars in this!
  2. scotty38
    Nice image, what kit did you use?

    Admittedly QHY versions but I can't imagine ZWO being any cheaper: https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/cameras/qhyccd-kameras/scientific-cameras/swir-qhy-990-and-swir-qhy991.html

    You might want to check the prices before you get too excited 🙂 🙂 £15k and £30k roughly from what I've seen....

    Added some more data to this last night. This is SHO but with stars from the HOO version 🙂

    You could move to the city to avoid your one B3 night a year ruined.... Rear lights are so they can see the plough. I've had the same here, fields all round me but I wouldn't swap my B3/B4 because of it. I'll add a couple of 🙂 🙂 ......

    How about laying the main base then create the circular "steps" by laying bricks? I did consider this when doing mine but went for a plain flat base in the end.

    There's a chap on the NINA discord has gone through 2/3 of these trying to find a "perfect" one so as you say I think variable quality is the big reason. No idea if it can be fixed though....

    There is a FW update, for the CFW3 at least, that gives unidirectional rotation which helps with filters ending up in the same position.
  10. scotty38
    The screw does not move on my CFW3

    I know on PI it's just a case of changing the URL to the new version while it's in testing so if PS works the same I guess you can too?
  12. scotty38
    My laptop is about the same spec as yours and Starnet has always been a bit tardy but I don't have Starxterminator to try unfortunately
  13. scotty38
    I have seen lots of chat on the PI forum about the speed of the latest version, so much so that he created a lite version to speed things up. Have you seen it?
  14. scotty38
    Agree with the above, platesolving will change your world 🙂 🙂
  15. scotty38
    That's odd, I'd try ASTAP if you can. Also NINA only forwards the requests to the solver, it doesn't do anything itself as it were and if you have the same with two different ones (maybe even three soon) then I'd be even more tempted to say it's an odd config somewhere, which could be in NINA of course. I know you said it's all ok but not sure what else is common that's all.
  16. scotty38
    I'd definitely use ASTAP for both solvers (Inc blind) but that aside I assume all the settings for scope camera etc that are related to solving are entered as they should be?
  17. scotty38
    Coowoo do them on Amazon, I've had them and they work just fine but only 450mm....
  18. scotty38
    That's another step forward that WBPP has taken with the accuracy of weighting and I believe the need for subframe selection is not as great as it was. I still like to use blink though but again maybe not necessary. There has been discussion on this recently too, I'll see if I can find that too.....

    Here you go: https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-wbpp-2-4-5-retrieves-the-information-of-files-in-the-session.18806/
  20. scotty38
    There are a boatload of ways to identify files for WBPP, fits header being one of them. Let me dig out a link as there's a nice write up of how some of this is done.
  21. scotty38
    ok same here too. I create master flats plus I have the filter names when I create masters in the first place but I'll fire it up later and check how mine get matched as I never have to do it with cal files
  22. scotty38
    You shouldn't need to change this for darks matching etc but if for any reason the correct files are not linked automatically you can turn that off and match them manually.
  23. scotty38
    The Adam Block videos should get you up and running with WBPP no problem and until you're comfortable I think you can probably safely "ignore" (I tried to choose that word carefully 🙂 ) the latest changes but if you go to the PI forum there is a breakdown of the new additions.
  24. scotty38
    There is a plugin in NINA that uses Robocopy to do this if you weren't aware.
  25. scotty38
    Probably try gain of 121 and offset 30 to start with. If your calibration files are fine and dandy then all good, any issues and you may want to try a gain of 200 as a "fix"
