ASA_AstroSystemeAustria· ASA Astrographs and Mounts
Hi, I am using my DDM85 every night without homefind and it works to a certain extend (which I do not believe it is sud eto homefind). The mount is parked and...
Alvora, I have no experience with autoslew 5.0.5.3 i use 5.0.3.7. I also don't use sequence for pointing files for polar alingment. You should try manual...
Hello, This is the beginning of a new project. It is a mosaic of the Flamestar area. It is made with 9 tiles and includes the Flamestar and Tadpole nebulaes...
The way I have understood it is that ccdap will handle the reverse direction and scope dec compensation. So all other involved sw should not fiddle with these...
Antonio, A really fine start on A worthy project - I would be more than happy with the result of the first part. The Ha mosaic is splendid. Hope you get some...
I’ll second that Antonio. Felix Nuevo Ano! From: Matts Sporre Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2012 6:55 AM To: ASA_AstroSystemeAustria@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re:...
Hi Matts, it is unfortunately not working, Do I have to set something in the TelescopeSettings in Maxim. There I set ASCOM inverted, to see the correct pier...
Hi Michael, I am not sure about how to proceed. I have succeded in making this work, but only once, and that involved some exchange with Jim at the ccdap...
Hello, Matts, Richard, Thank you very much for your nice comments, I am glad you like the image. Personally I am satisfied with this first result. Best...
Hi, Alvaro, ... by my lat 6 +- 15 deg" Yes, that's normal, because if you really have a DDM60, the Polar alignment algorithm will converge badly (or not at...
Hi Bernd, it is even more weird. Indeed I have a stationary setup remotely used. I am using ACP and CCDCommander as mount control and pointing software....
Hi Bernd Thanks for the comments When I do a PA a click the DDM85 option The location is correct 06.11139 North and 075.45500 West, altitude is my 2200 Mts The...
Hi, Alvaro, I agree that it is really nasty if you can't get a good polar alignment, even if MLPT gives you 10 min subs ungiuded. I also can't find any error...
Hi, Josh, weird indeed. Good RMS errors in advanced pointing should indicate that you don't have significant flex etc. problems. I assume that you had many...
Hi Bernd, maybe the simplest issue first. I use Outlook Express to reply to the e-mails I get via the Yahoo Group. Concerning the rest, maybe could b´we talk...
bump, re-posting as no one replied can someone familiar with the autoslew and sequence file system speak with me by phone. i have many questions regarding the...
Hi Bill, I do not use Sequence but I can answer some other questions. It is probably best not to use sequence until you are familiar with the mount. Make...
Hi all, I have a problem to place correctly my ASA 4 inches corrector at the prime focus of my mirror ( 506 mm diameter f / D = 2.86 (without the corrector))....
Dear List, dusty clouds is where the ASA astrographs really shine! This is a view of the Witch head nebula, at the Orion, Eridanus border seen in LRGB Halfa A...
the ideal optimized value would be 60.25mm. Increase this value for 1/3 of filter thickness you use. I doubt you see the difference between 61.4mm or 60.25mm...
Thank you for the answer. I have a problem of sharpness of my images. I can not get the diffraction spikes for any focus. In my configuration (D=506 mm...
usually this kind of focusing should be avoided. But if you are sure you are close the 60mm and the image is bad I guess the mirror is the problem. Wrong back...
Thank you for your quick response. I am not reassured of the quality of my mirror for the field corrector. It would be very kind of you to look for tests...
I should stop commenting on foucault knife edge measurements especially for such fast parabolic mirrors. The image clearly shows problems with a turned down...
Hi, Philipp, Good feature. This will save me a lot of time for future manual pointing files. I must admit that I am one of the "lot of people" who were not ...
