Re: Jupiter-Saturn conjunction sequence (GM-8)
I took my wife and kids to the "sandy hills" trails nearby to see this. We only brought binoculars and a dslr so there was no hope of a fantastic view or shot, but we had a lot of fun. Here's the shot

Re: Pointing Mount To Zenith To Take Flats
I am using the next-gen Sequencer and have an automated script.? When my targets are done for the night I want to park the OTA at the zenith so I can manually take flats.

Re: Pointing Mount To Zenith To Take Flats

Re: Pointing Mount To Zenith To Take Flats
Yeah I expect Nino will know about Park command and you can set Gemini to Park at home but that means All your parks will go to that position. Any rate have a good one Jim Brian Brian Valente

Pointing Mount To Zenith To Take Flats
I should know how to do this, but.... At the end of an imaging session I need to tell NINA to move the RA and DEC to the zenith. I will then place the flat panel on the OTA and take the necessary

Re: Conjunction
Thanks a lot guys. Thin clouds made it challenging to get the moons on longer exposures. I got Titan and a hint of Rhea just above the noise level but not much more besides the big four around
