Just use this and remove all of the MS junk “Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility”

I guess you also need more frames, or higher rejection sigma setting.

Hi, I feel like the Bortle 4 still isn't enough so I'm looking for Bortle 3 at least, and they have some nice spots in Exmoor. I know about Wimbeball lake but I don't really like it as you can't park overnight, unless you probably pay on the camp site, also a lot of trees etc. I have found this spot on Ridge Road, seems like a good spot, anyone been there? (seems like the darkest, perfect clean horizon). https://imgur.com/bAsJm4r Also found: 1. "Frogwell Lodge Car Park" but it says temporarily closed on Google Maps. 2. Dunkery Beacon - Parking: https://imgur.com/a/Y0tdEGb 3. Deerleap view point (Somerset, Bortle 4, some trees): https://imgur.com/a/JoxwpxD Perhaps someone is even interested in meeting up in any of these places to do some astro together? Thanks!, Pawel

Seems like the trees might be an issue there?

I want to have my equipment max few meters away from the car, not sure it's possible there?

Went there yesterday 10pm, some cars and people, some guy told me not to park there etc. 😁

Hi, I’m looking for a quiet place away from street lamps in Somerset but it seems like a very hard task. Does anyone know of any spots not too far from Weston-super-Mare? Thanks

Vroobel has kindly made 2 masks for me and they seem to work very well. Big thanks!

Hmm AstroKeith printed for me 2 different ones and both won’t work. Can you post a photo of your mask?

The new cable works fine. 🙏

I would need to put a lot of force to be able to fit it in, or damage the input/cable. We'll see how the new cable does.

Just got the cable and it fits the mount but doesn’t seem to fit the battery. Got this one instead https://amzn.eu/d/4gGWwFr

I remember thinking about buying one of their Dobsonians and there was no info anywhere on how large was the mount, so couldn’t figure out if it would fit in the car, ridiculous. More ridiculous is the design of the polar scope cover. If you insert 8x AA batteries into GTi, the plastic cover that secures batteries won’t align properly, and the scope cover keeps falling off, you can barely touch it and it falls off. Remove batteries and it holds properly… 😂 Apparently there was the same issue in previous version so they knew it has failed design… On the other hand I don’t know if all the Chinese companies are much better…

Okay I went with the first linked cable but 2m. 😁

Hard to find something thicker, maybe this one? But it’s 1m only https://amzn.eu/d/hQrwtCG
