What do you mean CAPTURE? :S
Are you talking Imaging, or Visual?

If Visual, what eyepiece you plan on using? :S
If Imaging, what camera you plan on using? :S

withdraw a rating ??

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

My friend, IMHO, let it go...
If I were to do what you are thinking about doing, I would have to remove about 25 "extra" ratings I gave, it is simply not worth it...

You have done "the right thing"... others might NOT do it, but don't let this get to you... life goes on.


Just my humble 2 pesos... don't spend them all in one place! 8)

One for all Focuser

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Sorry, but have NOT seen a Crayford that will fit all, not even one that you could simply adapt different bases... after all, that's the idea, to be sure you have to buy another focuser in order to make money, again.

Hopefully others will chime in, if in fact something like what you want exists...



Clear skies! 8)

Linton, congratulations! 8)
It is my dream to be able, one day, to retire and live away from it all... (at least, the light pollution...)

Enjoy it, my friend! 8)

Guide camera arrived!

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Floyd, word of advice... make sure you have plenty of USB 2.0 ports... USB 1.1 won't cut it at all...

New Orion StarShoot as guider?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Chris, I know that the OLD Starshoot was supported, and also know that the NEW one comes with MaximDL Essentials, so I would expect the full package to be FULLY aware of it... 8)

Have you tried calling Cyanogen and asking them?

Guilding is working!

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Well, I'm glad you got that part taken care of, now it is all about imaging! wink 8)
Looking forward to your long exposure shots Floyd!
