Hi: Wish you all a healthy and happy new year. On the first of this year I tried my Epsilon 180 + STL-11KM on M45. Eight 1080 second exposure frames were taken...
Hi Wayne: Thanks for your kind comment, and really, it was hazy. It was the kind of very high altitude thin cloud cover that makes the background sky bright...
Hola Eric, buen trabajo. Did you run your session from your D.F. home location or are you outside? I can't imagine, that the city will ever give you more than...
Hi Wayne, I bought this scope second hand in April, and as yet I have never even looked through it. Well not at the stars anyway. Just at a far away tree to...
Hartmut: Gracias. No, I have the observatory 135 Km away from México City (D.F.). It is 12 Km from Valle de Bravo, Estado de México, it is placed at ...

I'm guessing that your imaging 'scope has a focal length of say, over 1500mm and you have a side by side mounting set up with a separate guide scope? If so,...
Paul, I found the Shoestring GPUSP and compared the pin-layout with SBIG RJ12 SBIG GPUSB 1 +RA Open or somtimes powered (like SBIGs nc) 2 +DEC gnd 3 -DEC...
Dennis, the focal length of the imaging scope is around 800mm with the flattener in place. It could well be differential flexure, but how do I solve this...
Hi Paul I have a C9.25 on an EM200 and when I use my SBIG ST7 with the dual chip for auto guiding, I usually get round stars. With the SBIG ST7, I have gone as...
Hi all, Living in the pacific northwet makes it difficult to get quality time on this object, so I sent my FSQ down to New Mexico to enjoy the winter stars, as...
Dennis thanks for your reply. So far I have done all the balance related stuff and tied off the cables. The fact that I get round stars near the pole at 10 and...
