Moonshed Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Be honest now, you cheated, you took that from lunar orbit didn’t you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you were careful coming through re-entry because as my wife asked me recently “Why do they always go through the hot bit?” Sigh...... I have also just purchased a ZWO and looking forward to trying it on the moon. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the feeling, I got my ZWO 3 weeks ago and have had very few opportunities to use it. I’ve a good mind to send it back because they promised me great images of the planets.

lunator Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I managed a short time with my ZWO a couple of nights ago. Conditions were pretty rubbish so I am sure the images won't be great but it was useful to practice focussing and have bit a mess around with Sharpcap settings.

Cheers Ian I initially tried Sharpcap with my ZWO but had problems with over exposure, I could only get a large white featureless ball that could have been anything, so I switched to FireCapture, problem solved. I was clearly doing something wrong in the Sharpcap settings but it doesn’t matter now because I have become a big fan of FireCapture. you obviously find Sharpcap to be okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
