NEAIC & NEAF USA 2024 Pix

[FLO]

Grant, Gary, and I are promoting our Remote Observatory project at NEAIC & NEAF this year.

Lots of new toys are on show at exhibitor stalls, so I've taken some photos. They are only mobile phone pix, so apologies for the low quality. 

We are here for the week, attending both events, so I'll post more if I have an opportunity.

Ooh, do I see a new SX camera? Looks like the IMX 571 sensor.

Michael Hattey at SX says it is one of a new series of CMOS cameras.

They will launch soon with, initially, IMX571 and IMX455 sensors.

It's a Starlight Express SX-EFAO 'electronic focuser with internal active optics'. 

HTH,

This Skywatcher 150i mount looks quite interesting...

Harmonic wave mounts are definitely here to stay.

NEAIC is over, and it's day one at NEAF. 

Here's Gary Palmer, Grant and Alz (Astron Scientific) on our Remote Observatory stall. (The photo was taken before the doors opened). 

NEAF is 'much' busier than NEAIC, but sometime today or tomorrow, I'll visit other stalls in the hope of finding more to photograph.

Dont like this as an idea, You are basically paying for three things and need to upgrade all three things if at any point you just need to change one of them. Also I dont see a  UAB3 type B connector at the back...and that makes me worry that you will be forced to use the ASI air with this camera.

Japanese-made Sightron goodness 😊

The large telescope is a Sightron 75mm f/5 6 element / 6 group astrograph. 

The smaller telescope is a Sightrom 50mm f/10.9 doublet achromat.

I thought the 75 mm had a distinct Takahashi vibe about it.
