Hi Curt i have a similar experience - i am in bortle 9+ (urban los angeles) and i measured the sky mag on the very best nights at about 17 using my SQM I have reasonably good success, but it takes me

this seems to be hit and miss. i just tested 5 polemasters they were all in focus out-of-the-box software does not appear to calculate the star centroid. It merely accepts your double click location

Curt - Here is a link to my AB gallery. Every narrow band image there was taken from my backyard, Bortle Class 6: https://www.astrobin.com/users/HegAstro/ Recent examples are the Jellyfish Nebula (

For those of us who like to use the PoleMaster for visual use QHY has updated the app for Android. This gives you the ability to go observe without a laptop yet still achieve perfect PA and nail GOTOs

John, thanks for the recommendation for the RAEXT kit.? I called Losmandy and spoke with Tanya (I think).? She echoed your recommendation.? Ten years ago I would have balked at spending $300 for

Thanks everyone for the helpful feedback! Arun, before I forget, I'm really interested in hearing more about your experiences doing narrowband from a light-polluted backyard.? My backyard is in a

FWIW, my Polemaster was NOT focused correctly as received. Also, in addition to unscrewing and removing the outer barrel you need to loosen a tiny setscrew on the side of the lens assembly to allow

Curt, If you get a new G11G, I would strongly suggest getting the RAEXT extension kit. This allows the mount to be easily split into two pieces with just the two thumbscrews. It's a little pricey but

Thanks Michael! I grew up in Mission San Jose, now part of Fremont. I noticed your area code! i'll let you guys know how it works when I get good skies!

You are welcome. I had to admit, your story puzzled me so much, that I took the Polemaster from my astro equipment storage and tried to install it on this inside computer. I had never installed it

Michael, Thank you so much for the advise. I uninstalled the driver (?) and pole master program from the Hp Z and then downloaded the driver and program again. Shut down (something I don't remember

Thanks Michael, that's way different than Apple. I suspect I only downloaded the Polemaster software not the driver. I'll follow your guidance and let you know how it goes! Thanks again. Tom ---

Great question, Richard. I downloaded and installed the Polemaster software which I thought would have included the camera driver. I followed the same steps I did on the MacBook and everything worked

Brian, Yes, I am using the supplied QHY cable and it still like new, hardly used, never achieve liftoff!! Tom --- bvalente@... wrote: From: "Brian Valente" <bvalente@...> To:

Hi Tom, Calm down.... the Polemaster is a slight challenge. First of all, you must be able to connect it to your PC and get it to be recognized... no sense even putting it on the mount until that

Hi Tom man, sorry to hear all this stage!! I have been tempted to abandon astrophotography/astronomy at ALL stages. multiple times! polemaster really should not be this difficult the cable you should

Hi Just checking. On the HP you installed the camera driver as well as Polemaster software? Cheers Sent: Wednesday, 6 January 2021 10:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re:

Has anyone ever ABANDONED this exciting hobby at the polar alignment stage!! So I spent 1 more evening trying to use the pole master. It still would not align so I got on my knees (hard to do, I was a

It is always a good idea to get a mount one step higher than you think you need. I also debated between a GM8G and a GM811G. Having purchased the GM811G and used it for a couple of years now, both as

Yes, the G11 is heavy. I can attest to that as I keep one by my bench to try motor mounting hardware on. I smacked my shin on it twice before I learned to put it under the bench where I can only stub
