OAG / imaging camera set up

[knobby]

Hi, got fed up with waiting for the stars to play ball so used a telegraph pole about 1.5 km away.

Much astro fun to be had in the daylight ?, pretty satisfy getting the Nikon and the Altair GPCam to work together.

Brilliant...ive not managed to set mine up yet and get both camera's to focus

It's so fiddly ! Not tried on the stars yet but should be pretty close I guess.

I'd assume that you be ok as all I can get is a light shadow on the guide camera

Is the prism stalk in far enough ?

It was Initially fitted the wrong way around and thought that was the issue but sadly not..seems like the guide camera (skyris) needs more inward travel..

I've dropped the prism as low as it goes.. so far no joy but,something to test while we have no real dark nights..ive got a couple of ideas to try first..then if not it might go in the bin
