I'm so chuffed! Sun 28 April 174MM first light.

[Owmuchonomy]

Here is a WL shot from this morning with the new 174MM through my 130PDS.  This is the first go with this camera, nothing extraordinary, but what I'm SO chuffed about is that I plugged it into my MAC. Oh deep joy! No more messing around with Windows and my daughter's PC.  It worked straight out of the box. No drivers, no messing, no fuss.  OA capture 0.9 running on OSX El Capitan on my 5 year old USB 2.0 Macbook Air.  To cap it all, My Lunt is in transit.  Marvellous.

Excellent image Chris, all set for the transit now, lets pray for Sun

I use James Fs oaCapture on the Mac with a Skyris274 and LS60DS.

Very nice image. Wait till U get the Lunt. What filter did U use

on the 130 PDS. I have got a 4" f10 Refractor. What do I need

to use Chris, to give this a go. 

[Owmuchonomy]

Hi Steve, this was my solution for a 4" frac.

Always a bonus when things 'just' work like that, you should be well chuffed.

Just sussed my new PG so know how you feel.

[Owmuchonomy]

No I don't.
