Hi Carsten and Martin, ... Yes it has been quiet here. Mainly for me because the skies have not been playing nice. This past week we were suppose to have 4...
... Ooooh! Looks good! I have an EQ6 Pro mount, but haven't yet tried autoguiding. For many purposes, this mount tracks well enough, but I do like to push the ...
... Up here in South Cumbria, we have had a few beautifully clear nights, but I've either been too tired to care about astronomy (more serious DIY), or have...
Hi Clive, ... We hope so. We have and are still spending cloudy nights developing so it can be used by others :-) I have tested it with my own SC3 camera setup...
Hello Ken, ... The video shows much faster guiding than what will be used in reality, but it illustrates that the software is able to react to rapid changes....
... That makes sense to me. So it was worth doing the webcam mods if only for this purpose. ... I'm sure that you are right. The longest exposures that I've...
Hi Carsten, ... <snip> ... <snip> I don't know how far you have gone into Kubuntu but I have found a few astronomy programs that look very promising. QCX for...
... According to the computing press, Microsoft have dropped a very big clanger with Vista. The business world see no good reason to move from XP. Ordinary...
... Kstars is my favorite planeterium program and runs just fine on my old laptop, unlike Stellarium which seems to need a lot more horsepower and a 3d...
... Hi Ken, That looks like very nice work, congratulations! The end result looks quite professional. I like that filter mounting idea also. I am interested to...
... Thanks for those kind words Carsten. WRT the filter mounting: As a result of experiences with a DSLR, I was determined to provide some way of keeping dirt...
Hi Ken, ... We are happy it is useful :-) We hope the upcoming features will be useful also. We have spent quite some time designing and implementing guiding...
... I wasn't suggesting that MS Windows be abandoned at all cost, but the alternative is looking pretty darned good these days. I agree that choice is good....
... <snip> ... I'll second that. Well done the both of you. -- Kindest regards, Clive http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies. From...
Hi all, Here is the 17P/Holmes comet as seen by wxAstroCapture <http://www.arnholm.org/tmp/17p_holmes_wxAC_00003.jpg> 19:07 UT, single exposure 20s Telescope:...
Hi Carsten, ... Very good image and captured under Linux. You kept that quiet about the Artemis 285 working under linux. I didn't even know it could work...
... Hi Clive, Thanks for those words :-) No webcam driver, Martin has implemented an Artemis driver in wxAstroCapture ... Clear skies Carsten A. Arnholm ...
Hello All, Finally a night that sort of played nice. Here is my 17P Holmes. 300 X 1 Sec. Captured and processed under Kubuntu using my SC3. Thanks Carsten and...
I think I should have put this through Gimp to brighten it up a little like this. It looks a little dark on my desktop. That will teach me to process on my ...
... Hi Clive! A great image and a milestone for wxAstroCapture on Linux, well done! You seem to have managed the exposure very well, lots of stars visible...
Hello Carsten, ... Thank you for the kind words. Sorry, I normally give all the information with the image. Note to self. Self, don't type letters when...
Just wanted to drop a note saying 'Hey'. I just recently stumbled upon this software while looking for apps to install. I wiped XP home from the laptop I was...
... Hi Bob and welcome to the group! XP Home to Ubunto 7.10 sounds like a good idea :-) Did you actually try the SAC7 with wxAstroCapture? AFAIK SAC7 is...
I'll give you a report either later tonight or tomorrow. I do know that my Logitech Quickcam 4000's work with it fine but they're unmodified at this time. ......
... As part of my writup on the pages mentioned above, I'm looking for information about controlling modified webcams via USB/serial converters which I...
