Hi guys
Can anyone identify which control box this is? Is it focusmaster? And does it run off robofocus driver in Indi lib as I cannot get a successful connection (in indi within ekos)
I bought a robofocus motor with this control box second hand.
I have faith with seller that hardware works as should.
I've tried other cables and USB ports too. The software (k stars) I use does do port search when connecting equipment..
Any help appreciated

I'm currently on my annual leave in Italy and the sky has been clear all day with no air turbulence.
The telescope is out - of course - and I managed a session before dinner.
I thought about sharing some photos taken with my phone and a couple of sketches.

Hello All,
Sharing with you my best images of Jupiter and Saturn for this year.
I haven't had the luck of a High Pressure system with no wind speed yet, but on the 17th it was as close as I had for planetary this Jupiter/Saturn season.
Not my best images of the gas giants ever but ok IMO.
I'm happy to see that the GRS seems to be repairing itself, last time I imaged Jupiter, the border around the GRS looked like it was breaking up so perhaps it'll be around long enough for my kids to see in the eyepiece.
Captured at f33. Images consist of the best 15% frames from 13x60sec @ 60fps for Jupiter and 13x120s @ 30fps for Saturn, derotated in WinJupos.
Clear Skies,
MG
