G'day David, I'm in the reverse position, I've got the scope and mount but am waiting for the camera to arrive.... :( It should be here tomorrow and the...
Hi group, I have a 20 inch blank here and need some advice on what focal length is most desirable to suit a G star camera? Deep sky objects are in view, as I...
Colin, the important thing is quality. Regardless of focal length, you need to produce a good figure, and having made a few (SMALLER) mirrors myself, things...
Thanks for the advice Johnathan. We have probably met. Nice photos. I was wondering what the optimum focal ratio was to suit the G star camera. Maybe someone...
G'day guys, my new gstar-ex clr has just walked in the door. The weather is clear and clean and expected to stay so for the next day or so. I was up late last...
Hi Steve (and anyone else with ideas), I received my C8 Telescope today & finally had the opportunity to hook up the Gstar Ex Clr camera properly. However I'm...
Hi David OK.. first check the camera say with a TV monitor set to say AV1 or AV2.If you press the camera menu button and see the menu appear on screen then you...
Colin Optimal focal ratio is too open a question and Jon's answer in terms of practicality is fair. If you are querying about how much can you can fit on a 1/2...
Hi all got out last night with the Colour Gstar and even though the moon was up I got some good on screen views.I could see green in the Tarantula nebula,a...
g'day guys, I surrender.... heh heh I have set the camera up and everything seems to work really well except, the camera runs for about a minute then blanks...
Hi Stephen The on off thing sounds a bit odd like a loose cable or the power supply connection is intermittent. If it's doing this randomly, check the...
G'day Steve, thank goodness for that. I thought it was a bit strange :P I'll start to go through the line of connection and see if I can track it down. I've...

Hi Guys, I recently compiled a personal catalog of data and refence images of about 235 galaxies that can be seen and imaged from Sydney's latitude. I have...
... Adding to the above found that when I pushed the brightness and contrast settings of the monitor and TV towards the upper 2/3rds and kept the background...

G'day Darrin, awsome piece of info there mate. Well done. I've downloaded it and put it on my astro lappy that virtually goes with me everywhere. Thanks and...
Hi Guys I am using my GSTAR mounted through a Skywatcher ED80 and this works very well. I want to use the ED80 set up with GSTAR to guide my Skywatcher HEQ5...
G'day David, the cable from the usb port directly to the mount, not via the hand control, should have an EQDIR or similar adapter installed first. I would...
Hi David, The autoguide port on the HEQ5 Pro is controlled by the standard ST-4 protocol. I routinely use MaxIm DL Pro5, GuideDog, PHD Guiding and several...
Hi Again david, I just had a further thought. A special interface is needed to communicate between the computer and the autoguider port. What are you...
