I'm sitting here wondering about guiding, as you do on a Sunday afternoon. If I take the SVideo from my Gstar to my USB video capture card as normal, can I...
Hi Garin I'not real familiar with the guiding program you mention and use a standalone T.V autoguider system but rarely at that! But, when I do, I find that if...
Hi Garin. I use the Gstar for guiding a 10"f5 for DLSR photography. Used in conjunction with Guidedog software and a 450mm guide scope, I have no problem...
Hello Really good to see this group and recently got my Gstar camera. I have been lurking for a while just reading messages and found that although its not a...
Sorry, I was a little unclear as to my actual question. What I was actually wondering was can I capture and guide at the same time using one GStar by taking...
Sorry about the confusion! To answer you question, you will probably need two capture cards to both capture and guide. I've actually tried to guide and capture...
Welcome aboard Mark - glad to see you finally joined. If you're in QLD then I'm hoping (courtesy of Dave Larkin organising something in the new year down...
That's an interesting question. I highly suspect that a single computer will not allow more than one dedicate video capture interface in terms of interrupt...
I'm using two at the moment with no ill effects. The trick I found is that they need to be of different makes - Two belkins just wouldn't work. I did manage to...
... Welcome aboard and glad to hear you are enjoying using the GStar. I myself originally only intended using the Camera for visual use to a monitor,but after...
Well that's hopeful, I have a KWorld USB device and a Avtek PCMIA device. Now I need to get the clouds to go away so I can try it. Thanks for the replies Garin...
You can count me in for the Workshop. I know a few astro people who are interested in the Gstar, would they be welcome to come along as well? Might help to...
... I cannot see any reason why that would be an issue as there is plenty of room at the site. If numbers are down then we could also arrange when our society...
Thanks all for the warm welcome. I look forward to learning more and would also like to attend the meeting. Mark ... to ... year ... that ... tower ... thing....
Hi Chris Steve suggested I download the new GStar2Com which I presume is the file GSTARCOM20081026 ran a new build on a laptop of GSTAR com 2.1.17 then v2.5...
Mike Sorry for the confusion - GStar2 has the GStarCom functionality built in, it does not use the stand alone GstarCom, that is really for people who dont use...
Hi all, Thought I should introduce myself. I'm Neil Proud from Perth. Been into astronomy for 2.5 years and bought the GSTAR in March this year. I'm a novice...
Hi Neil, Welcome about. Please feel free to ask any questions to the group, no matter how basic they sound. There are plenty of very experienced people on this...
Thanks Steve I just downloaded the patch file for the capture software and it all seems to run ok. Don't really know what is new but will sure have a play when...
I've been given permission to ask basic questions , so here goes: I use the GSTAR RGB filters supplied by Steve. They don't appear to be parfocal (I understand...
Hi Neil, I have the same issues when taking colour photos. The filters you got from Steve are transmission filters in that they only let certain colours...
Hello Neil, Yes you should refocus on change of colour. The focal length difference is quite significant between colours and you will end up with bloated stars...
Thanks michael and rob I have never really understood this too but thinking about how light waves are emitted at different frequencies and how optics work it...
