Anyone have any success interfacing with this scope and a laptop to track various satellites (the man made type)? If so, anyone able to use a ccd and grab images while tracking?
Thanks in advance.

My First MarsPosted By Brian VanLiew |
I'm pleased with my first attempts. Here is one of them.
Equipment,
Toucam Pro
C-11
10 second collects, aligned and stacked with K3CCD.
Image tweaked with Photoshop LE.
Just on the beginning of the learning curve of webcam imaging.

Webcam of M57Posted By Brian VanLiew |
My second attempt at using a modified Toucam uncooled for long exposure. Using K3CCD Tools captured 10 images of 15 seconds exposure, stacked 8 and processed with Registax2. scope was a C11 with 6.3 focal reducer.

Visual back adapter questionPosted By Brian VanLiew |
I'm looking for a part# and where to purchase an adapter that screws onto the larger threaded opening on the back of a C11/C14 that has the standard 2 inch threads on the other side. I want it to allow a 6.3 focal reducer to be screwed onto the back of the ota. I have seen the adapter type that screw onto the larger threads to a 2 inch opening for a diagonal to be inserted but this is not what I am looking for. Any ideas?
