Dean Watson Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Just getting ready for the new season, not used the mini laptop for guiding and started doing some test stuff on M31. Had phd installed, wouldn't connect to the camera (Orion Starshoot Autoguider). Messing around to get it working today. Its amazing how much easier it is when you ACTUALLY INSTALL THE DRIVERS...Berk... I loathe IT. But not as much as I sometimes loathe myself.

Daz Type-R Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Lol, classic. Thats almost as bad as us visual lot leaving the end caps on your finder scope and wondering why you can't see anything. Smithysteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I spent quarter of an hour trying to PA tonight after I had the mount apart. Would have been quicker if I had taken BOTH caps off the polarscope. Smithysteve and tuckstar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Watson Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I use a flip mirror when imaging with a DSLR. Very useful for framing when the object is too faint to see on the camera screen or viewfinder. A couple of test shots and then over to the serious exposure lengths. Ideal. Or it would be if you remember to flip the mirror back when you do a last check... Half an hour of blank images. I mean, can't even use them as dark frames... The times i've done that... As I say, berk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
