Re: G11 and 6¡± f/10 for imaging?
Jim, At 100 frames per second this should not be an issue. I've used a Skywatcher 150mm visually on a Losmandy G11 with classic drivetrain and it had no issues with vibration. Granted this is a 150mm

Re: Firecapture autoguide with Gemini 1 ?
Firecapture autoguider works just fine with Gemini-1. You must of course have a working serial cable, ASCOM, and Gemini.net applet working. PHD2 does not care of any orientation of the autoguide

Firecapture autoguide with Gemini 1 ?
I have a G11 with Gemini 1. Does anyone have any experience using Firecapture to autoguide on planets? Is this possible? Anything else needed?

Re: G11 and 6¡± f/10 for imaging?
adequate. that was my thought. i'm probably a little more positive because it IS such short exposures it should be fine -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Hi Chuck image camera with 3.8 micron pixel size? Would that effect or contribute a significant error? It depends (isn't that like most answers in astronomy) ;) If you have a specific example you're

Re: PEC Question
Completely agree. In the end its all about images and frankly I am pretty happy with the test images I took the other day. I'm about to embark on collecting a lot of data on a single object and I'd

Re: PEC Question
It's not a dumb question at all. I was just trying to offer some perspective here on how much you want to be fiddling with things (which we are all inclined to do) vs. how much better are your images

Re: PEC Question
The reason I ask is what I see in PHD Log viewer is, which says 0.76", so in my mind I now take 0.76/2.2as/px = 0.38pixels on the imaging camera, which is great I do see 0.5"/sec RA drift and 0.12"

Re: PEC Question
this. Don't get focused on the ratios and pixel sizes. The point is your error is in arseconds. Your "wasn't guided out" error on your main PE is 1/4" your image scale is 2.2" per pixel. that means

Re: PEC Question
Ah I think I see. Because my ratio of guide to image is about 3:1 then any error in the guider will be 1/3 in the imager so the 15¡± PE is more like 5 and the 0.7 RMS is approx 0.7/3 This makes total
