Popular Post Sheila Posted October 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2019 Well the first night using the new portable set up (only used it twice!) was disaster, 3-4 hours and achieving little with numerous problems. Everyone else seemed to be having issues too. Second night 20 minutes to set up PA, focus and start imaging and everything went without a hitch. Just shows you how fickle astro gear can be LOL. Just a quick process of subject i have done before but chose an easy target to get data and test the Losmandy GM8 with the Tak 85 and QSI 690 camera. Stayed on Ha and got 7 hours of data. Still need to sort plate solving in maxim . 10 min subs guided in PHD. Yes you heard guiding so not my usual easy option as on the GM1000 hope you like it BAZ, Bottletopburly, +Derbyshire Dave and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 should have said first night of clear. Very first night was not clear, which was just as well as I had forgotten the control box for the mount and luckily my daughter found it for me in the obsy and Ibbo brought it down on the tuesday. Then i had the nightmare evening achieving nothing at all LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
