Hi Robert, Looks OK to me. There's a heap of hidden detail in the image though.It looks a little dark on my monitor. Try stretching the mid levels to bring it...

Dear All Is anyone using their Gstar using 12 volt battery power, rather than 240volt AC. I guess we can get an inverter to bring the 12 volt DC up to 240 volt...
Hi Duncan, I normally run my GStar on a 12V battery and have had no problems whatsoever over about 8 months. I have used several commercial 12V "jumper lead"...
Hello Duncan, Short answer is yes. I asked Steve from MyAstroshop a similar question in regards to running the camera on a 12 volt battery. (please note most...
Hi Duncan, I have used a 12 Volt 7A/h or 18 A/h Gel Cells with all my 12 Volt video cameras for the past 19 years, with complete success. It is pure DC, no ...

G'day all, just letting everyone know that the GSTAR workshop has been postponed for a week. The official date is now 14th to 16th March. Appologies if this...
My GPUSB arived today and I have lab tested it. It works fine with PHD, selecting WDM as the driver, and whatever setting your capture device supports. When...
Jonathan Great minds think alike :) I ordered a GPUSB two days ago, still awaiting delivery. When I use my Digitus USB 2.0 Video Grabber with the GSTAR with...
Hi JB, Will you be using the Gstar for autoguiding and video capture (ie at the same time) or autoguiding only? I'd be interested, and I'm sure the group would...
Michael Auto guiding is done with software like Guidedog, PHD or K3CCDTools which utilises the video output for guiding only. Manual guiding with the GSTAR can...
Hi Paul, OK, so what you are saying is basically you need a wider than an average prime focus field of view for autoguiding,is that correct. Cheers Michael ......
Hi Michael Any guiding (auto or manual) is normally conducted at a higher focal length than what the imaging is performed. My typical widefield imaging setup...
Hi Michael, I both guide and image quite satisfactorily with the GStar through the same optical train using both output cables going into different adapters....
Hi Jack, Sounds very promissing and by your reply I assume you are using just ONE computer. If so have you had any issues with processing speed in capturing ...
Hi Michael, I haven't noticed problems with dropping frames, but my main machine is pretty hyped up. However, in serious observing sessions I use two laptops...

Hi Michael, I meant to mention and forgot. AstroVideo, by COAA, can guide as well as image simultaneously from the same camera, although I have'nt been able...
Michael If your plan is long exposure video using the GSTAR you shouldn't not need to guide at all. I have accurately drift aligned and videoed objects for...
