Having problems with message search?
I am a member of the Astronomical Society of South Australia and have been for about 10 years. I have been using the GStar now for approximately 2 years with good results. Provided you live in the general vicinity to me I am willing to visit and help you with set up and of the camera a associated equipment. I am also a member of the SA Deep Sky Group.

Hi GStar users. My name is Frederick, I have been an amateur astronomer for a few years now, am a member of the Astronomical Society of Sth. Aust. and I have recently joined the GStar group. I do not have a GStar unit at this time (I am expecting one for my birthday in December!). I possess a NextStar 8" and have just bought a wedge for it. I intend to house the scope in an obervatory I am currently building in my yard. In addition to direct observation, I am looking to hook up the scope to a computer in my house ready for the longer GStar maging sessions. I am looking for advice regarding the better/best way of hooking up the scope to the computer (40m away) as well as ideas for the better/best types of software to complement the GStar in capturing and manipulating images. As I am new to the imaging game, would you also please provide a general overview of what you do re the image capturing process - from setting up the scope/GStar combination through to generating the finished image.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts/recommenda
Frederick S-T
