Hi Everyone, I have just installed Pocket Deepsky ver 2 on my IPAQ HP6340 running Pocket PC 2003. When I click the icon I get the following message: An error...
Well, the program did it again. I had to abort the slew and the retry dialog came up but would not respond. The dialog just kept comming up and I had to do a...
When I try to load new asteroid data from SkyMap Cat after unzipping it says there is too much data to load. Is there a smaller data file I can use?...
NEWS RELEASE May 25, 2007 http://www.skyshedpod.com/ I am pleased tonight to annouce that Deepsky is partnering with the makers of Pod to bring Pod owners...
I saw them at NEAF and it looked like a pretty good product. I'm first finishing my pier and let my wife get used to that first. Then we'll start talking about...
I have to admit that I havent done a lot of observing with my scope for quite some time because I have been so busy, but that is about to change when my sky...
Probably using a 12 volt wall wart (transformer) would be the easiest thing. BTW, I signed up a while back for eternal updates by downloads. I haven't used...
Steve, you could build your own dew heating element uit of resistors or nichrome wire but I don't think having 110V on your scope is a 'hot' idea. Much better...
Hi Steve, I use a Pyramid PS-15R 12 amp AC/DC regulated power supply (~$45) for my Dew Buster. You can also get one of the Radio Shack models but they tend to...
Steve, Not sure what happened to my other post. There are a number of 12 volt to 110 and vice verse converters on the market for very low cost. I am curious as...
Steve I would look to getting a converter to convert the AC to DC current. AC tends to create to much noise. Very bad for imagers and scope systems (to much ...
HI Steve: Yes. Don't use AC power for dew heaters. Orion sold one for corrector dew prevention years ago, but eventually had to take it off the market. I...
Steve, There are numerous 12v to 110 inverters on the market. Depending on the milliamp usage of the dew heater it should be reasonably low cost to install. I...
Steve, I use the Kendrick system which has a car plug on the input end. At an automobile/camping store, I bought a converter used to run camping refrigerators...
Steve: For "short-term" dew removal I'd just keep an old hair dryer out in the POD and run it on low. I do alot of my planetary imaging from the front yard...
Hi Steve, Long time no talk. I'm going to do a presentation of Deepsky, coming Monday, here in Auckland, New Zealand. I just watched the training video's and...
Steve and all, I am curious as to why one would need a dew heater or shield inside an observatory. I have a dome and have not needed any dew protection yet. Is...
Geoff, I use a 12 volt dryer when out in the field. However I am still curious. I have a domed observatory now and never get dew. So why would one need a dew...
Another satified Astromart customer. I was not allowed on again (ever) as an individual after my small business could not support his rate increases. Try...
Hello all, I am new here. I just have a few questions: 1.) Does Deepsky support widescreen monitors I have a 1680x1050 display. I just want to see more...
Jeff, Well.... ... Yes you can.. Make sure you wait... It tends to be picky slewing to objects. What I mean is... you don't want to mess with the program till...
Widescreen (real widescreen not resized and stretched with empty space) and goto from Charts are the biggies for me :D Shipping to Canada would be costly I...
Rodney: I also use a 12-volt "de-icer" gun when I'm out at one of the astro club's remote observing sites. I picked it up at Pep Boys for about ten bucks. My...
I wanted to post an update on the scope I am selling. 1) It is now on ebay starting at $2499 2) I added one more awesome accessory that is free - the Stellacam...
I am planning on using my POD as a permanent observatory mounted on a 12x12 wooden deck. I have a concrete pier 4 feet into the ground in the center of the...
Steve, I saw those pods at NEAF. Nice. I wouldn't be too worried about a bunch of steel and glass getting hot. Batteries would be a different issue. But it...
Ok, I have asked this question three times under the dew heater post by Steve. With no response. So I will try it this way instead. Maybe no one saw the...
I don't have a dome but I would imagine no matter what your setup if your scope is pointed anywhere near the zenith you risk dew accumulation. The design of...
