thanks for that but as you know when using sdrp1a you can see a bit more of the spectrum,and nothing showed up there either ,do my settings look ok? thanks iwols

yes apart from noaa 17 which it said was miles out of date this is the list i will be using,the v pole i made was the one you linked to,my try my airband dipole for the next passes,wont be great but should imagine i will get some kind of signal do my settings look ok as well,both below thanks

hi blinky a couple of questions,when you say facing north does that matter,is your inline amp powered externally and do you have a drawing of your v shape antenna as the one i made receives no signal at all,what cable are you using,sorry for all the questions but my first go was a total flop with no signal thanks iwols

its stopped for a while as ive been using the 178 on my c8 for planetary,ive had the dome since i started testing ,in fact its still in its unopened bag in my car boot,but now youve reminded me and ive kicked planetary in the head it might be my next project keep me updated how you go

hi thanks for that what saddle did you use or what would i need thanks iwols

hi all just wondering if 13kg would be ok on a heq5 pro mount,thinking about setting my celestron c8 along side my ts 100 if my shed roof allows,also any advice on mounting both either with this mount or upgraded one cheers iwols

great for 1 night what scope did you use please

its as if i had wrote this thread,dso from now🙂

yes wouldnt be without it,in general what time do you guys start imaging

hi all after a few months trying the planets thinking about changing my setup to dso imaging is it time yet??

thats superb for a start been trying this for a while now ,really is a challenge well done

Hi all just wondered if the celestron motorised focuser for sct,can be used with autofocus with say sgp thanks

think im getting there?? saturn2.tif

true but i didnt know wether to smile or cry😁

thanks but could have been better(did i mention that😪 ) still gutted

thanks kev would have been if ide have left it going for another 10 secs,craziest 20 seconds of imaging ive ever had just gutted about missing the capture of the plane

11 oclock bang on

well dont know where to start ,doing a bit of imaging on the moon last night and wow ,so pleased to have caught what is probably a satellite going across the moon ,i stopped the imaging and 5 seconds later i saw the image of a lifetime ,an aeroplane with full smoke coming from behind it,going across it,but i had already stopped the capture,gutted anyway this is what i imaged before the main event My Video1.mp4

thanks the only rgb i have is rgb24

hi all just outside now using sharpcap on jupiter what settings do you capture in raw 8,rgb ,or other and avi,ser or other using colour asi 178 thanks

thanks geordie85 if north on the map is north then it looks like it ,anyone been here after dark

hi when will these planets next be at a good height for us here in the uk cheers

hi all after a couple of planetary attempts decided i might try and go somewhere dark to give the scope a fair chance and found that suprise view car park in hathersage about one hour away might be worth a try,just wondering if anyone knows if this has a clear view south or not or any other comments cheers

that would be great thanks

well tried above and must admit its a lot better considering few frames i used thanks neil and everyone who contributed its a start what do you think? 22_38_42_pipp_g4_ap55.tif
