Bizzare, absolutely bizzare.....I thought I had my problem licked (see below) but nope! I tried to get an image tonight, loaded up the camera on the scope and...
Hi Dieter: Agreed, tantalums can also go bad, sometimes from power supply spikes punching through the oxide coating (or they might have been crummy low...
Thanks. I bought an adapter from Mogg; there's also a guy on eBay selling them specific to this cam. The adapter screws in in place of the lens. Easy. Since...
... It sounds like you've got a unwanted current path somewhere. If house current is getting to the telescope you could have a safety problem. How is the...
Ive got a very similar problem. I just tried to use it during the day yesterday and it worked when I held it to a light but when it went in the scope it was...
The house and the observatory are all wired together on the same circuit. The whole observatory is covered by a GFCI outlet too, if that has anything to do...
The scope is attached to an aluminum wedge then attached to a metal pier which is attached to a concrete pier in the ground 5 or 6 feet. maybe I'll try...
yep, did all the flicking and trying it in different positions....moving the cord around, etc. When I hold it away from the scope it works with or without my...
Well, low and behold, I managed to get the camera to work last night. It froze, once again, as I put it in the telescope. I then unplugged the scope and it...
hi-I have not really been following your thread but from just the message below I would say pick 30fps and then increase the "gain" until you see the...
Hi Jim, thanks for the tips. Someone on another forum recommended I put a barlow on the scope then put the NexImage on that, as it will reduce the f number of...
Yea thats what I think, it wasn't freezing, however when you put the scope in the camera, especially if you are out of focus, you won't see anything. Usually...
I'm using a classic 10" LX200 mounted on a pier and wedge (polar aligned). I have no problem keeping Jupiter in the field of view. In fact, last night, I...
hi-you only use a barlow to control image size; you don't need it to control the f of the scope-that is done with the other controls of the amcap software. I...
your telescope focal length is 3048mm? Wow, well the neximage has approx. the same as a 5mm EP, so with just the neximage you will be at ~610X, thats alot of...
If you go right to a barlow the image can be so out of focus that you may not see that you do have it in the field of viiew. What I do as I was instructed by...
I hope so! maybe I should break out the ETX125 instead? ________________________________ From: neximage@yahoogroups.com [mailto:neximage@yahoogroups.com] On...
OK, I'll try that. Which brings up another question, I see a lot of images taken with this camera that show the entire moon in one shot. How do people get...
ok-if your focus was spot on and you only got an overexposed white ball then you needed to move gain down toward zero and if it was still too bright then start...
You should just barely be able to see the bands, but jupiter should be pretty dim on the screen. Are you using AMCAP or k3ccd tools to capture? And yea it...
Gotcha! ________________________________ From: neximage@yahoogroups.com [mailto:neximage@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of jim Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007...
Umm, that looks pretty good to me! I am using AMCAP and I think that might be where some of my initial problems were. Hopefully it is fixed now. I assume it...
hi-with my 8" SCT I can just fit the whole moon in at prime focus i.e. no eyepiece projection so no question you will not be able to get the whole moon in even...
