MarkAR Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Very good for unguided. Theres a slight bit of elongation in the stars, guiding will help a lot with this. A few more calibration frames might help, apparently the optimum number is around 16 to 21 of each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Jones Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Thanks MarkAR, Guiding is the next thing on my to do list - I have a guidescope and camera - I might need to update my 12 year old laptop as it barely copes with automating my DSLR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Good fast laptop is essential, it'll save a lot of frustrations later on. I had a few gremlins with my 12 y.o MacAir, got very frustrated so dropped a pile on an all singing and dancing MacBook Pro solely used for imaging and processing. Recommend minimum 4 core processor (8 core is ideal) and large SSD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Jones Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) How do you find the new MBP - do you struggle with it's lack of ports ? (BTW I look after 300 + Macs at work) Thinking about it a little more - I guess most people use a USB hub anyway! Maybe I'll add mac to my list of laptops 👍 Edited June 22, 2020 by Eddie Jones further thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
