Hi Does this Chinese imitation have good light transmission-can you see the same stars through the right angle finder than through the camera viewfinder with a...

Hi James - like Perry I have the Seagull focus magnifier and use it with my 350D. The view should be either the same as what you see through the camera's...
Hi. You don't mention what camera you're using but presumably it has a playback mode whereby you can see what you have just imaged in a test frame. As Ady...
I have a Canon 40D ... which has a 1/4 in thread in the bottom. Will this fit with the Manfrotto 488 ball head thats recommended ... or will I need a heavier...
Thanks, Jenny and Ranier. Ranier, I know I could have worked with the image longer. I really like your improvements, especially with further red enhancement,...
CH, With good star charts, star hopping or line intersection using visible stars can help. Finding the Rosette is not easy. There not anything nearby to use...
Lo Harry? The 488 ball head will have a 1/4 threaded lock screw to fit the plate to the bottom of Your 40D. If You go with a full Manfrotto system then all the...
Let us know whether you were successful in capturing the Rosette Perry. One thing that I must give AstroTrac the credit for is the fact that it has helped me...
Thanks, Gain, for your nice words. I didn't try focusing on anything else since Venus was "there", and I could easily get focusing using the Bahtinov with...
Hey James, Andy's comments re the Seagull are applicable in my case, as well. But he has given me something else to ponder and that is the possibility of...
Hello, I just do my first tests with astrotrac TT320X (serial number 918) and I must say that I'm frankly not happy 1)Â I have serious problems at the end of...
I think I'm going to get one of those masks to try out Perry.... Just wondered if a star would perform better than an extended object like Venus... regards ...
Thanks for the pointer Perry, I've tried a couple of places in the UK to get the metal cut, but programming costs apparently aren't worth it for my meagre...
English translation follows... Bonjour Christophe, Avez-vous tenté de contacter Richard Taylor ? C'est vrai qu'entre son voyage de test aux Canaries et la...
Perry, I had originally planned to mount my 6X30 finderscope to the hot shoe adapter on my 350D. However I was warned by a guy on this group who had...
Have you contacted Richard as he was arranging to have a Rigel RDF custom made to fit on the Canon hotshoe. I did see a prototype at the Kielder Autumn star...
Hey to all, I certainly agree that the power from an 8 AA rechargable battery supply can be the culprit in AT drive/rewind problems. It has been for me, as...
Andy I would doubt you would have problems with the hot shoe coming loose,,have you seen some of the large and heavy flash units,,personaly I use a laser on my...
Hey Gain, I've read where Comet Lulin is supposed to be quite near Zubenelgenubi in Libra in the south this Friday morning, Feb. 6, before dawn here across the...
Hey Andy, I've seen pix of some setups on hot shoes that appeared all they needed to heli was an engine on top. Think I'll bounce the question of the...
Hi folks, I intend as well to take some pictures of Lulin, later this month (in fact when I will be on hollidays in a better astroing place than Paris, I mean...
Hi all, Here comes a few shots of Comet 144P/Kushida. Tracking performed by AstroTrac TT320X, please find more info concerning equipment used on the lowermost...
Hello Perry and Laurent, This is one fast moving comet and unfortunately is heading in a westerly direction so SIDEREAL is your best tracking rate to use. ...
Current visual observations have Lulin at 10 arc minutes (say nearly twice the size of M27). Also tails very short/invisible. Longer focal lengths seem to be...
This message is for Perry please. I have ordered the bracket from Manny as suggested. May I ask a couple of questions regarding your set up. What comes with...
Hi Paul, No doubt that this is a small object...A long focal length is preferred, but as usual, a compromise will have to be reached involving, Focal Ratio,...
Geoff or Perry I just ordered the Voyager also but am having trouble getting in touch with Manny Miles...can you supply me with a direct email for him, either...
