Equinox 6.12.0 is now available. This is a free update for all registered Equinox 6 users. This update is for OS X 10.5 (Leopard). The update installer (10.3M)...
To Al Degutis and his helpers for organizing a great learning experience. To Alan Friedman for a riveting, knock-your-socks off presentation on solar imaging....
I failed to mention Craig Stark, whose comparison of camera types taught everyone something new about DSLR's and CCD's. I probably took Craig for granted...
I've got to echo what David said about the MWAIC. It is the 'baby' of the three 'AIC' conferences (AIC, NEAIC) but had one of the best lineup of speakers I...
David and Bob, Thanks for those kind words. We strive for high quality. (patting myself on back, hope I don't hurt myself) There's a reason I was asked to join...
Are there any updates on MAW2? I see it noted on the PATS webpage: "The Riverside Astroimaging Workshop will take place on Friday, September 25, and requires a...
I have the auto video record and camera switch setup - testing the easy with which I switch from live camera feeds on the fly. Join me if you can. Terry -...
Hi Terry, I`ve finally got dry enough ground on the grass beside the carport (where I been relegated to for the time being) so I set up the scope this morning...
Good evening Mark - well morning here. I have been studying wifi technology and have added a couple of monitoring tools to my kit. AP Grapher and Net Monitor....
Hi Terry, I`ve had a look at both of your links. The 2nd is a good tute on your process of using the "Wat" camera with the multiple frames. Here`s a update to...
Hi Terry & others, The Bluestar adapter will only pair with my Mac Mini G4 & thence Equinox 6 at a distance of less than 8-9 feet. This is with new batteries-I...
I could not get my Mac to connect to the Bluestar Adapter tonight. And I am only three feet apart. I could have connect if I restarted but I was streaming the...
Hi Terry, I understand if you have a Wireless network (we have an Airport one that`s connected to satellite broadband) you should be able to connect with Wi...
You can control scopes with an iPhone or iPod touch over WiFi with the Starmap Pro iPhone app and Equinox 6 (they talk to each other) but you still need a Mac...
... There are three basic classes of bluetooth devices. Class 1 has a range of about 100m and draws up to 100mW. You won't find class 1 chips in many devices....
Thanks again Darryl, It`s interesting that you reckon it`s technically possible but practically not. I`ve looked at the Starmap site-even sat through the...
... I have a 1st gen iPod touch with 8G memory. Starmap Pro controls my scope via Equinox 6 fine. I don't know if a later version or more memory would speed...
I`ll start saving my pennies! One more question. Weren`t you saying you need a computer at the scope anyway? Do you mean within range of the basic 25 feet from...
... Yes. If we are talking about using an iPhone or iPod to control your scope, Equinox 6 is controlling your scope and must be connected to it via a serial...
Thinking about this - it seems clear to me that the blue tooth solution eliminates wires but wont satisfy band width requirements or range issues. However, I...
Hi Terry, Did you see Darryl Robertson`s recent response to my emails? As a result I`ve downloaded Starmap app http://www.star-map.fr/ for use potentially with...
Mark, I could be wrong, but I believe the pairing is between the computer's Bluetooth and the Bluestar Adapter's Bluetooth. In effect the Bluetooth path is...
With Jupiter getting closer I am becoming interested in taking the best possible images of planets. Most of my work to date has been with B&W low light video...
Do you want the best best, or the best value? I like my DMK21AF04.US from the Imaging Source. I have it paired with the Orion 5-position filter wheel and LRGB...
Very nice Paul! Sounds like you need ACP and Focus Max to do auto focus runs every filter change and every half hour to compensate for temp. changes, I've been...
With Jupiter again growing in the night sky I am thinking about this year focusing on how to take the best passible images of that planet. I would like the...
Hi Chris. I've wondered what happened to you. Thought you went back to Colorado. It's good to hear from you. I actually ordered a RoboFocus unit for the FSQ...
Hi Terry, I`ve been looking at a 31 or 41 series TIS DMK camera for sometime in the future! Alan Friedman advises that 21 series DMKs are probably best for...
