Hi Andrew, Thanks for the thoughts. To answer your earlier post, yes the problem with the slow rate that I get happens immediately after power- up. It is...
Hi Tim, I see. Good luck with it and let us know what happened in the end.. Best regards Andrew ... power- ... or ... the ... think ... expensive ... causing ...
Hi Dave, When I use telescope control from the PC I use TheSky V5 and its native Temma driver. I would emphasis though that the problem with the mount tracking...
Paul, excellent illustrations!!!!!! And an innovative solution!!!!! Question - is the EM11 sturdy enough to handle the Mewlon? Thx & b rgds, Silvio. ... mount...
Hi Art Ciampa, thanks for your kind answer, but I would like that you explain to me why do you think so. Why don't you think for example that the DEC worm...
Many of you have read the articles in Sky and Telescope and Astronomy magazines highlighting the upcoming Deep Impact NASA experiment. I imaged the comet on...
... Not in my experience. I was going several minutes with this mount with a 200mm lens. Going 5 minutes with a 24mm lens should be a breeze. This is a very...
Hi all, Below is a link to my first attempt at the famous Trio in Leo, imaged the nights of March 31 and April 3, 2005. Technical details: Scope: Takahashi...
WOW! We have some extraordinary mounts here, especially if you're getting 5 or 10 minute UNGUIDED exposures??? No mount I've ever seen will do this except for...
Hello, Mark Jumping in part way through this thread, the line in the e-mail below ... which is realistic if the poster is simply fitting a 35mm SLR with a 24mm...
Most cool, Dennis! I really like (and appreciate!) your on-going coverage of this comet's whereabout as a lead-up to the big firework's display on the 4th....
Yep, I had a P2Z before getting my EM200 and I could easily take 10-15mm unguided film exposures up to 100mm before stars would begin to elongate. That was...
Hi Jeff, That's impressive performance from your mount and another reason to buy Takahashi equipment. I doubt very little else out there could match that. ...
For point of comparison, last week I had a 180mm lens piggybacked on a Nexstar 11 and even 30 sec shots showed star trailing at the edges of the exposure. This...
One point as well, polar aligning here in the Southern Hemisphere is really very hard. Drift aligning is easier generally. OUr polar stars are dim as and very...
Hi Greg It's a Vixen GPDX. I just took delivery of an EM200 Temma-2 this week and I was surprised at what an enormous step up in size, quality and sheer...
I had a Vixen Sphinx and found it quite inadequate. Also had the polar alignment scope and was nver able to find those stars in its reticule. Also the...
Please return it to us for our engineer Marvin to check. Art Ciampi ... From: jhapeman1 To: UncensoredTakGroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2005...
Hi Jeff: I have had one of these for over a year now, lots of good pictures. I would check and make sure the bateries are good. I had problems once with that,...
I've had my FS102 for a few years now and I'm still amazed how much pleasure I get from that little scope. If I do ever "move up" I just may add rather than...
Mike Your questions are not lame at all. I found the 10 to 1 focuser addition to be a great option. It really helps find that perfect focus, especially at...
Hi Alejandro, No, not close to the zenith. The scope was pointing approximately at the meridian at 0 degrees Dec. I'm checking the tracking further as I ...
The 10:1 device just bolts on to the existing focuser. It doesn't change anything else. So it will work with anything that works without it. Gene Horr...
Gene, GH> So it will work with anything that works without it. I LOVE that statement. What really frightened me is....I understood it : ) Thanks....that...
