183c [fan cooled]

some questions that i have, 1] i understand that the "daytime green" thing is normal, but what are the best sharpcap settings for this camera? 2] the standard usb lead is not long enough. i do have a Lindy 10m repeater which works nicely with Zwo cameras, but keeps "cutting out" ...

Re: Zwo ASI585MC > DSLR Lens

i'm now reviewing my options and think my Samyang 135mm (ef-s fit) may be a better option.

would anyone be able to tell me exactly what parts i need to order to link directly to my Zwo ASI585mc and achieve good infinity focus

thank

Zwo ASI585MC > DSLR lens

Looking to see if it's possible to connect a Zwo ASI585mc to a Takumar 200mm F/4 (M42 thread) At present I've used a combination of the various connectors I have and infinity is nowhere near correct. Looks like a backfocus issue. Has anybody done this successfully using the 2" ring connector? i...

Bit of a Weird One...

I've just acquired a ZWO ASI 585MC USB 3 Camera and have it hooked up to my BRESSER Messier AR 102 XS / 460 Hexafoc OTA Got it trained on some trees around ¼mile away and it focused nicely, however the image in Sharpcap looks very yellow in tone (the leaves should be green but vary between gold and ...

Re: Ever Feel Like It's A Battle You Can't Win?

The main point of my post is that your first dark is actually a light frame (it has stars in it). That will not have helped with the quality of your master dark and potentially produces the problem you are seeing.
