Having problems with message search?
Hi David,
I am a member of the deep sky group also and I think I had the
opportunity to say hi to you during one of the observation sessions at the Heights
earlier this year (in fact, it was your equipment which got me interested in
the GStar in the first place and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was you
who suggested I join the GStar group!).
I live at Gould Creek – the rural section of Hillbank -
overlooking Salisbury and Elizabeth.
I’ll be more than happy for you to pop up and provide some
input into the set up. Shall I let you know when I get my GStar or would you
like to pop in earlier?

Hi Frederick
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 fi nished
image.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts/recommendations.
