G'day Paul, OOps! spoke too soon, the weather has closed in here at Mudgee and elswhere too. I was hoping to image the the comet but I see others are doing a ...
G'day Dave, nicely done with those images, you are well on the way. I agree with John M about the stars on the edge of field, it could be the focal reducer but...
... Thank you both for your remarks. John I think you maybe on the money with your comment with regard to the focal reducer as now looking at the noise...

Hi All Just thought I would ask a question on Balance on Newt Equatorials or other types. Do any members offset the balance of the GStar and finderscope on the...
Hi Dave Yes.. I agree with S.Q. nice images mate! John's probably right regarding the flat seating of the Vixen reducer on your focuser. I've encountered...

Hi Martin, At 25 FPS, one second of raw uncompressed data video = approx 30 MB - one frame is approx 1.3 MB, so you can see from those figures that your laptop...
Hi Martin, Thanks for the info. Yes I would like to come along on Saturday, weather permitiing. I'll give you a call. PS I assume you mean 10th not the 11th...
G'day Martin, Yes, I think Sheville hit the nail on the head. It is most likely the computer speed, processor and HDD, that are slowing capture down. The best...
