M3 in B/W, with Orion Starshoot (FIRST LIGHT)

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
You are all too kind... wink
There's much to learn, but seems like it will be fun... 8)
(of course, we are starting the RAINY/CLOUDY/HOT & MUGGY season, here in South Florida, so will see how much we will get to play with the toys...)


Clear skies to all! wink

Orion Starshoot camera

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hello Bennett! 8)

You should visit this site, which is dedicated to the Orion Starshoot, and will find the answers you are looking for...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Orion_StarShoot


I just got mine about a couple of weeks ago, and just had a chance to try it once...
It is a very simple, and yet seems very efficient little camera... you'll see some very nice shots on the website previously mentioned...

I wish I could tell you much about it, but I just started playing with it, and don't want to steer you wrong... go to the Yahoo Group and ask your questions there, you'll get plenty of answers... wink


Clear skies!

SCT Collimation with an Artificial Star

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Zach, for an 8" SCT it is "normally" recommended to set the artificial star around 100 feet (+/-) of distance... 8)
I did this once for my 10" SCT collimation, and worked fine...

Hope this helps,
