thank you! need to check the location I entered in Polemaster software too! that could be the simple reason for my problem...

Thanks, Roland. I’ve been watching Christopher Go post his images over the years and have regarded them with a great deal of envy. From a presentation he gave for Woodland Hills, it seems he

I got a few more images from my test trip for my new ASI2600 CMOS color camera. Pelican Nebula The bright stars in the Pelican got blown out and really unfixable with the shorter exposure subs so I

I've used the polemaster with my Mach1 the last couple of years without any problem (I haven't been able to test the Mach2 yet, it's winter here). A couple of things to keep in mind: - Make sure

agree- PM + SC works great; simple, fast and accurate as long as you are within 5 degrees of Polaris so the internal plate solver can work

>>>I will give a chance to the pole master+SC software. in my experience it works fantastically well one note: make sure you enter the setup information correctly in Sharpcap. It's not clear but you

One thing that I use SC + PM camera for after polar alignment is monitoring sky conditions. IMO, it’s a complete waste to have a camera just sitting there and doing nothing after polar alignment. I

Thank you, I will give a chance to the pole master+SC software. If it doesn’t work , I will probably go for the Rapas. Andrea Il giorno sab 1 ago 2020 alle 16:41 uncarollo2 <chris1011@...> via

That is great news. Still have not had a clear night yet to try 3 arc lines, weather forecast is showing early next week .. I think the night of the full moon (typical). When using 3 arc lines, what

SharpCap Pro is a critical tool for me. I use it for controlling my QHY174M-GPS cameras when doing occultations. The price is dirt-cheap and I would still pay for it at four times the price. It is the

Hi Rolando, I think my "Unfortunately, SC polar alignment costs $", is more of a lament that the software that comes with PM does not seem to be as accurate and the op has to spend money to get it

SharpCap Pro, the version that has the polar alignment tool, is actually a very nice little program. Lots of stuff you can do with it. It will run my camera, manage the cooling, run the filter

Everything should not be zero cost. Writing software takes time and expertise and should be rewarded. If everything is zero cost we will all be forced to become subsistence farmers scraping a living

You can go up to 90+ seconds on Jupiter without any recognizable blurring after stacking in Registax. There is also a derotation ability in an app that lets you go for much much longer periods of

The Rapas will require you to drift align the mount for the first time. Then you adjust the Rapas precisely using the 3 push-pull screws. From then on you can get good polar alignment using the pole
