Re: Service/Upgrade appointment request
Okay thanks, I'll call (I emailed her but never heard back). I signed up for the waitlist on the store awhile back so I assume I'm in a spreadsheet or something.

Re: Service/Upgrade appointment request
Just as a data point, I ordered an OPW for a GM8 in February, and a GM811G in March. Got the mount, but still waiting for the OPW. Can't really sell the GM8 with the PE it has right now so i guess i'm

Re: Adding grease to existing greased worm and wheel
Jim it gets hard over time and also tends to spread out. if you search on this group you will find some examples (pics) of really bad consequences of lithium -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Re: Service/Upgrade appointment request
UPDATE (sorry Keith, i thought you were sending me an email directly) I don't have that info - i did ask and it varies from month to month depending on how much demand is for new vs. additional so
Re: Service/Upgrade appointment request
Brian - any updates to this? Thanks Keith

Re: Adding grease to existing greased worm and wheel
I use SuperLube on my GM811G.? What are the specific issues with lithium grease?? Just want to know.? Thx -- ------------------------ Jim W Phoenix, AZ. USA Losmandy GM811G, NINA 1.11, ASI2600MC

Re: Adding grease to existing greased worm and wheel
I recently switched from super lube to moly based CRC brake and caliper lube.? The moly based stuff, to my senses, handles higher friction loads considerably better.? I am using custom spring loaded

Re: Adding grease to existing greased worm and wheel
please do NOT use lithium grease. we use arctic lube here at the shop, and many others use superlube -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Adding grease to existing greased worm and wheel
I have just finished taking out the backlash from my 1992 steel wormed CG11.? I had the gearbox off and the Oldham connector.? During this process I removed a small amount of lube from the bearings

Re: Thank you all ...
Yup, that's basically it. A few bigger popular galaxies here & there but mostly the bigger nebulae for now Thanks for your help Edward !

Re: Thank you all ...
I would not worry about the under-sampling per se.? At that image scale, you are probably going to target larger emission nebula. If you have enough subs, you can drizzle x2 or x3 and certainly

Re: Thank you all ...
So after bashing my head a few times on the bahtinov mask I finally remembered it was a Carey mask and not a bahtinov after all ! Downside is that NINA can¡¯t analyze that for me. Upside is I feel

Re: Thank you all ...
Thanks, I will post up a stretched version - the stars visually look good to me, so maybe I should just stop obsessing ? Regarding the undersampling - I guess the only solution there is a smaller

Re: Thank you all ...
Due to the image under-sampling, I am not sure the star sizes are really 6-7 arcsec.? I was hard pressed to find stars more than 2 pixels across in the image. Perhaps it would help to stretch the

Re: Thank you all ...
Thanks Edward. Yeah 3.5 pixels I believe is what NINA reports, that translates into 6-7 arc seconds (2.18 as/px scale) Many people report getting 2-3 arc/sec which seems not achievable to me That link

Re: Thank you all ...
Nick,? Thanks for posting some curves.? You might temporarily bump up number of points it computes on either side of the minimum (keeping the AF step size the same) to make sure the curves continue
By Edward Plumer · #72584 ·
Re: Thank you all ...
Nick, A couple of things come to mind if you are not getting HFR low enough: -Double check your sampling. If you are far less than one this could cause bloating. If you have a mono cam try binning 2X2

Re: Thank you all ...
Good point. I have a couple of "normal" looking ones and the first one thats a bit odd - I think because I had changed the exposure time to 4 seconds which is not enough HFR of my subis is around
