Jeff: Your M3 is great- resolved to the core and colorful. But your M94 is wonderful! You caught the faint outer halo that surrounds the galaxy- sorta rare...
I'd recommend Robofocus (Technical Innovation, the homedome folks) as it takes up no backfocus and is cheaper than the other options you mentioned. The TCF-S...
I have a new NJP Temma 2 GOTO. I am having a tough time learning how to enable autoguiding in MaxIm DL 4, The Sky 6, an SBIG STL11000 and FSQ106. The best I...
Hi Jay, Thanks for the encouragement. I hadn't been too happy with the M94 images. I hope to grab a bit more data on it. Excepting the clouds that came...
Looks like you are getting good results. The FOV is somewhat wider with your setup. Looks great! Arnie Rosner Rent-a-scope, the world's premier telescope time...

For right now keep the guiding at the .9x rate until you get the other problems worked out. First use the SBIG software to get a calibration. This way you can...

... Thanks for the reply Gene. The focal length is 530mm. It is an FSQ106, straight up, no barlows, Extender Q . . . nothing. The STL11000 is screw-coupled...

Hi David, Just over the last two weeks, I have been working at trying to guide with my NJP. The best I was getting was guiding for about two minutes, and then...
Ditto on what Phil wrote. Make sure that you are on low speed. Unplugging the hand controller defaults the system to low speed. But that shouldn't matter. At...
I had the same experience as Phil...definitely make sure the switch on the hand controller is set to NS instead of HS. Also, you may need to tone down the...

Thanks to all for the great advise! I will have to wait for a few days (clouds), but I'm anxious to see the results. I figured it was a simple setting (NS...
Chris, Sorry I missed your lum posting. Your LRGB looks like it is coming together nicely. I have had my challenges with this galaxy as it seems to get shy...
Chris: You are becoming quite dangerous with that diminuative scope. Have you purchased a license yet? :>) The color really adds a lot to an already fine...
EM-400 Mount The new EM-400 mount has been developed to fill in the gap between the NJP and larger EM-500 mount. This new mount has been designed to carry an...
How are you guiding? Through the STL relay output or do you try to guide issuing "move" commands using serial protocol? My experience (with EM200 and ASCOM...
Hi Tak and SBIG users, A quick question - I have just purchased ST-10 to complement my FSQ and EM200 Temma. A while ago, when purchasing EM200, I got an "SBIG...
Art, A few minor questions: 1. Does it use the same base as the EM-200 to attach to the tripod or pier? 2. I assume there is no PEC - correct? 3. What is...
Hi Pawel! Congratulations on the ST-10! Here are your options: Autoguider documents: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UncensoredTakGroup/files/Cabling/ Takahashi...
