Re: NGC 3628 from 200 seconds UC18 + DS10cTEC--Galaxy season is my favorite season.
Great photo. Any adjusting in between the 10 frames to keep focused and centered...or not necessary? Steve

Re: M74 10 second exposure 10 stacks with UC18 and DS10cTEC
Steve, I went to the ASCOM site and download Peter¡¯s 32-bit driver for ServoCAT and installed it on the NUC. Stellarium also runs on the NUC and uses Peter¡¯s ASCOM driver to control the telescope.

Thanks! I¡¯m the original owner of mine, purchased in 2009. In Oregon there was enough ambient humidity but here in Arizona I worry about the wood drying out. I¡¯ll probably just wax it for now

Re: Classic Obsession wood maintenance
Dave has historically recommended an annual or bi-annual coating of wood wax. Ive used Johnson and Johnson once a year. I do it in the garage on a mild day and let it dry/air out. -- Mark Bungart 15"

Re: UC18 with Mallincam DS287c and some post processing of M100
Richard: Thanks so much. Second question. I assume you've cut down a set of poles to allow for sufficient infocus. Obviously that will change your focal length, correct? I'm new to imaging (tho I've
