Nice, what happened to your camera Charl? Or is that a sore subject.

 

[xtreemchaos]

thanks David, i dropped just before Christmas and as i went to pick it up i stood on it and broke the bit where the usb connects so had a go at soldering it back to the PBC and i think ive heated something too much as it will only give me 800x800 and cuts out mid vid so only short vids, i have a QHY 5-11 somewhere in the loft but am having trouble finding it. charl.

thanks Den, ive been lurking and doing a bit of vis but its not the same without a good running cam and sods law my new canon kicked the bucket too but canons taking its time sorting it but as the world is a the mo with the virus i should think thay are short handed. clear skys. charl.

[xtreemchaos]

Best sort to use 

[xtreemchaos]

i brought about 3 years ago for a guide cam, think i used it once on some moon close ups, i think it works with firecapture but if not it will work with sharpcap just need to download the latest drivers.

[Stu]

Great shots Charl. I’m getting detail not far off that when the seeing steadies in the PST mod. Lovely!

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Stu, yes that prom looked very nice through the ep here sadly only had 5 min vis before sol was outa range at 9.30am, im going to have to get up earlier mate. clear sky . charl.

[Ibbo!]

Thought you had been a bit quiet.

Hope the QHY fills in for you.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Steve, yes hopefully untill ive save up enough to get something better mate, the res is higher on the QHY than the asi120 so might be a mosaic on the cards 😀. clear skys. charl.

[David Smith]

I used a QHY5-II mono for imaging before I got the ZWO. Should do a fine job for you Charl, although your frame rates might be a bit disappointing, max 30fpd @ full res if I remember correct. Still have mine tucked away in a cupboard just in case.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks David, i carnt get it to run with firecapture but its working with sharpcap, your right its about 15frames ps off the asi120 on max res but the max res is a bit bigger but i norm shoot at 800x800. todays a diff day from yesterday mate, its chucking it down here. charl.
