Surprised they are still that price. I know aluminum is not 76 cents a pound anymore. The 1.5" aluminum round stock must run about $10. But I wouldn't bother to make my own at that price and I'm

Hi Tim, As I discover more about getting better planetary images, I will give that advice freely. And I do have some new things to share... here is what I discovered: First of all...the photo attached

Michael, What binning, gain setting and (Offset?) were you using ? Also, did you have best results using the ASCOM driver for the ASI224, or the native driver in FireCapture? Finally, did you ever try

Hi Michael, *THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT DETAILED GUIDE !!!!! * I really really want you to know how appreciative I am that you detailed the equipment setup as well as the imaging and processing

Hi Rick, There is a monsoon season in Tucson? -- Chip Louie - Chief Daydreamer Imagination Hardware

They will be fine packed away.? Try to minimise moisture...kinda impossible if your in Monsoon area.? Throw in some desiccant into the packing. -- Brendan

From the git-go I knew I'd be dismantling my mount a lot. So I got the *TKS hand screws ( http://store.losmandy.com/tks ).* -- SonnyE Sonny's Youtube Channel (

The breed is a Dog. Certainly not a cat. My guess would be a large Terrior Breed. Airdale perhaps? I love dogs! Dogs are never mad at you, they are always overjoyed when you return, and loyal to their

Yea Chip what I do is I adjust the worm outside then do a full 180 on RA and DEC and if it binds up somewhere I'll readjust it right there.? Pretty simple. Also my worms were bone dry, I sprayed some

I definitely plan to watch it, Brian. There is a lot left to learn!

Arun that's great to hear has become very reliable that's really the goal, right? that guiding is no longer the constraining factor I think you may still find some things i'll be covering to be of

Thanks to all the great discussion in this group, I am happy to state that I am well under that. Not so long ago, 0.8” RMS was a great night. Now, I continually achieve 0.65” RMS. The last few

Hi Henk, Without thermal contraction you could just set the backlash anyplace on the worm gear and for get it. But IRL we shoot in the dark and it is colder at night than daytime. Have you run the

Hi everyone, we are doing another online presentation, this time with tips and approaches to achieve <1" performance. It is part of Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope presentations July 22, our part is

Hmm happens with both ring gears...both RA and DEC axes? Then...that is a very strange puzzle. I can't conceive of the cause of such a severe problem on one let alone 2 axes. Definitely worth asking

I never said I didn't believe you? Chip!? But thermal contraction is not the hardest problem for me, the hardest one is the unevenness of the crown wheel.? A problem that should not exist IMHO

I apologize for the humorous silly typos in the Procedure that I just sent. It is my fault. I did not mean to be confusing. I have a very humorous Android. It thinks it can spell. It knows that I

Hi! Briefly the settings for planetary image capture and equipment I used, are: Capture software: FireCapture (2.5 version latest I think). There are several key hidden settings in here. A list: 1.

Well, here in Tucson it’s now Monsoon Season. That means no Astronomy until late September when clear skies return (yes, I never get to see any of the summer delights). So my G-11 has already been

Hi Michael, Very Inspiring Images!? Thanks for sharing. I'm curious about the ZWO ADC, camera and exposure settings you used (If you don't mind sharing)... If you are using sharpcap, are you doing
