spc900 no contrast?

[leenewtoastro]

does your sharpcap contrast not make any difference?

infact i think even the spc program itself doesn't either.

would be good to have a fix

See this post:

for settings for Sharpcap and the SPC900. The contrast slider has little effect in Astro work, it is the exposure and gain that you need to adjust.

thx biz.

next prob. will a SW focuser take a SW auto focuser?

the thumb will is properly on! so what to use some mechnical pressure?

I'm also curious of whether my focuser will take the autofocuser upgrade, as it has no screw on (like the picture above).

The SW autofocuser fits a wide range of SW telescopes, Evostar models 90, 102, 120 & 150, Startravel 80, 102, 120 & 150, Skyliner models 150, 200, 250 & 300 and Explorer models 150, 200, 250 & 300, plus Celestron and Orion equivalents.

ok so you didn't list my sw 130p.grrrrr

it looks like it will attach with some simple mods but getting the thumb wheel off the shaft i don't want to break it so if anyone has done it and confirm it just needs more leverage than i can muster with my bear hands/arms then i'll head to the shed

[leenewtoastro]

the trip to shed couldn't wait! lol.

put my lets have look cap on.

figured it out.

it was uber tight tho thought the shaft would break !!!!

it was lock tightened in.

.

.

i'll prob do a whole thread as there is a few more bits required to fit.

heath robinson dead? i don't think so!

anyway lol.

fashioned it on. brilliant.

just needs one of you super shed types who has a 8 axis laser guided cnc miller to make a bracket to duplicate the original and incorporate a spacer and shoulders to take strain of the lateral twisting load onto to the bracket

phew.
