An interface color scheme to not lose dark adaptation

When using SC for Live Stacking, it is nearly impossible to keep dark adaptation as the interface is way too bright. This is very problematic when doing outreach. Everyone is asked not to use a flashlight nor their cellphone and there you are, ruining the rule you established. SC really needs a sche...

Re: Will this guide scope + guide camera work for polar align?

ZWO 60mm guide scope with ZWO 290MM?

Hello,

Would the ZWO 60mm guide scope with ZWO 290MM work together for polar alignment? The scope has a 280mm focal length.

Thank you!

Re: Long exposures with CMOS camera?

I have the ASI1600MM-C in mind.
Can I go beyond 60s and cool it at the same time, save the subs (and why not) have live stacking at the same time. :D

thanks!
