Hi Gabriel, and yes short exposures using some form of deep sky lucky imaging work very well with dobs doing Astrophotography. If I ever get back at it again, the move to Fl has really set my time

I use the Optec De-rotator system and watch the time of the exposures.? Mickey

Hi Tony, You have some options: Lucky imaging takes a bunch of short exposures and you align/derotate post prcessing. Let the camera software align and stack your image. I use option #2 since the

I limit my exposures to 10-20s depending on where in the sky i image, it helps that i live 63 degrees north. My setup is already sky fog limited after only 20 seconds despite using a DSLR, so taking

What do you dob astrophotographers do for field rotation? Do you have a rotator or do you just limit exposure times? I have an 18" SC/AN equipped dob and I'm looking into getting started myself.

Frédéric, I just use my imaging camera for the 2-star alignment step. ?I have a remote handpad to slew the scope close enough with help of a telrad and center the star on my remote laptop screen.

Hi Sevan, I am the guy with an UC22 Servocat / AN trying to start astrophoto with my dobson. Servocat is connected to the PC in USB (servocat 3) with one of the ASCOM servocat driver. Regarding how

Hi Gary, thank you again for your quick answer. I am confident now not to be in a hurry to clutch the servocat drives just after the alignement and will not be stressed if the planetarium software

Frederic, Good day sir. My response is inline below... have a great afternoon. g.

Hi Gary, I am glad to ear from you. I own two obsession telescopes equiped with your system, one old classic 15 with version 2, and the very first UC22 with version 3. Still working like a charm and I

PHD2 can measure Dec(alt) backlash which would include the whole system so if it's within 10 arc min i assume you could enter the precise measured value in ServoCAT sky. I only have this issue in

Frederic, Good day sir. my comments are shown intermixed with your note to George Hilios:

Hi, here is an update of my first experience. Episode 1: for VISUAL Use first: remote wireless slew and center to a target with NINA connected to a UC22 Servocat Argonavis with the servocat ascom

Sevan, Just a clarification of what is going on. The "beep" is actually issued by the ServoCAT to the AN. It is indeed issued when the slew is finished. There is no motion after that, other than

In NINA there is something called "Slew to RA/DEC" or "Slew to ALT/AZ". Does this still mean the Meade Generic driver is causing Nexus to send GoTos since Nexus can't "slew" only?

I get that too, from time to time, even with an ArgoNavis.? I have reason to believe it's just a timing issue with ServoCAT talking to the DSCs.? ArgoNavis gives beeps indicating when the slew is

Thank you Sevan! I use the latest Meade Generic driver. Serge sent me a firmware version for Nexus DSC Pro that fixes the lat/long issue. After that it reported the correct lat/long every session. It

Nice! I am the author of this driver and a NINA contributor so I am thrilled to see the pairing. Let me know if you have any feedback.

Thank you Richard, your answer is pushing me forward :-). I can tell you that NiNa is a fantastic tool especially if you want to trigger a capture sequence and go to sleep ;-) CS Frédéric
