Re: Promising Autoguiding results in PHD2
I have seen very few images taken with dobs that have been autoguided, i can only remember one and that was on an EQ platform from Tom O, so i have only read about 2 that have succeded in doing this

Re: Promising Autoguiding results in PHD2
Thanks Gabriel for clarification. You indicate your unguided precision is " 0.08 arc seconds per axis per second". In the last session I did to improve my ratio, I measured initially a 0.05 arc

Re: Promising Autoguiding results in PHD2
I would also like to take the opportunity to correct myself. I have now read the PHD2 documentation (mostly the troubleshooting section) and according to what is written there, if you get large/abrupt
Re: Promising Autoguiding results in PHD2
Hello Raphael Glad it is of interest! 2.0-2.5 arc seconds unguided for my sub exposure time which? is 10-13s with only a slice of time from 1 night as reference so would need more nights to verify

Re: Promising Autoguiding results in PHD2
Thank you Gabriel for the hard work and time you put in in this project so far. I am hopeful to use this in some way with my rig, using SharpCap. We will see. Thank you Mickey

Re: Starstructure/Servocat/Nexus Astro images since 5/12-24
I downloaded your image as a *.png and then did some Pixinsight + BlurXTerminator + NoiseXTerminator + StarXTerminator + GHS.? Then did some predistortion in GIMP, then went back to Pixinsight and

Beautiful image Gabriel. Unless you wish to go thru the mind numbing exercise of full deconvolution in any post processing program and then not have it work the way you hoped (& that will be the case)

Here is my latest image: 1073x 10s (2h 59m) on NGC 2336. Distance about 100 million light years. Data from 2 nights (Thurs-Fri & Sat-Sun). High res: https://astrob.in/full/a12fsd/0/ I have thought a

To close out this thread¡­ Sunday night we set up and then the dew and clouds came rolling in. We just kept everything covered, no observing, no testing. We probably won¡¯t be out until the end of

Re: Goldberg Hand Pad
Gary and Bill, I had a friend make a cable for me. It will be a while before I can test it. My scope is stuffed into our cargo trailer, next to Amelia¡¯s. So for now, lets consider this case closed.

Goldberg Hand Pad
Gary and Bill, I think I figured out my hand paddle control issue. When I plug the HC into the port on the SC I can get the motors to spin. Image .2325. If I trace the cable from the SC going to the

Re: Runaway tracking
And good morning to you, too. FYI for future reference, we both have the 15" Obsession Classic. "Dueling Telescopes" As for s/w versions of our SC, I doubt they are the latest. I'll have to figure out

Re: Runaway tracking
Good morning Steve and Amelia, Ok ... so mostly good operation last night. A few comments re what you posted: -any 'drift' might be caused by not having done the backlash compensation. Is Amelia's

Re: Runaway tracking
Thanks Gary. Sorry I didn't see this before the evening so couldn't do the test. We did, however, during the day unplug / replug all the data cables, from the 2 motors and the main box. We couldn't do

Re: Pegasus SmartEye Camera
