Thanks. Yes, meteor shower would be great! Also, so happy I wasn’t tempted into a more sensitive mono camera. I love the star colours on a “normal” night, although still experimenting with gain - it’s a compromise I think. Also, relieved it was all on last night - haven’t been checking for a few day...

Thanks Robin
Yes, sorry about that, should work now as I have changed privacy settings for that post.

Great gallery already!

(Thanks for tip about using different browser, not logged in,to test "social visibility" etc - will use that from now)

Thank you again Robin! https://www.facebook.com/peter.houtman/posts/10224916990926994?__cft__[0]=AZXagbC1mFmuTZxLvbraSYj4xQz1K6y1CwMe7KjAviccJSYm8MN8K-8H34WeAlWrdaOU8PGFUPysAoR3vfx-bT0uCXocfKkQzRVpLVrgwgOuGvS48Cq2-GLU4Yn7rRzWEeC8l6bDreDQk0xf6reoehgQ&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R Would not have been possible...

Used your sequence file and profile for an all-night capture to my mini pc last night. Worked perfectly and was able easily to retrieve the wmv file using remote desktop connection. Sequence still running for tonight's capture. Many thanks for making this (relatively) easy! (I particularly like the ...

I've circled the small strips of paper I've stuck to the front of the collar. In the sun, an easily visible line of shadow can be seen on the paper. Just move the scope so those lines are evenly distributed around the scope.

Forgot to say, this also works if starting up with camera rather than visually (I use Asi178mm) and can use Robin’s brightness gradient method with his marvellous Sharpcap, if not quite there initially. (Suggest start visual though, as need to know approx spacings for focus -particularly on filter b...

I had initial problems (also using Lunt LS60) just finding the sun, until a helpful mate told me about using the shadows cast on the front of the (black) collar on the scope. I stuck on four small pieces of paper at angles around the collar so the shadows could be seen easily. Get the scope near, us...

Thanks Robin for such a detailed and clear reply, as always! Although I only understand those processes you mention "conceptually" rather than in computer technology, I can see the issues (in a medical metaphor, perhaps the difference between a repeated spinal reflex and involving the brai...

Hi Robin et al. Thanks for all this. I have also just installed an allsky camera, on a pole in the back garden. Camera enclosure "small allsky box" by Dew Control UK (bought at recent Stoneleigh Show), including dome and surrounding dew-heater. ZWO ASI224C with default 150deg lens (like yo...

Good to meet you at the show today. As discussed, please can I ask for the ability for the option of a short delay (perhaps 5-10 secs) after engaging a quick capture sequence before file capture starts. This would be for taking some flats while being able simply to hold a card/light box etc in front...
