Thought I'd share my UC18 setup.



<dummyfile.0.part>

Filter changer software

<dummyfile.2.part>

I like the temperature compensation of the focuser that makes slight adjustments as the night gets colder.? I have a temp probe plugged into the focuser for this feature.
<dummyfile.3.part>
And to get that perfect focus I made a Bahtinov Mask for my initial focus setup that sits just above the secondary mirror (takes about 5 to 10 seconds).??

Make sure I stay aware of the dew point--sort of my Telescope weather station.
<dummyfile.5.part>
Then save all my "meta" data in a MS Access database:? camera settings, GPS coordinates, SQM, filter, weather data, photo, star chart, battery voltage that runs the rig.
<dummyfile.6.part>
and here I remotely observe on my big screen TV.? I remotely slew with Stellarium.
