Just to add, the 3.5" focuser from AP is excellent! I had 11lbs of camera, wheel, OAG, and guide camera on it with no problem at all. Very robust.

Christopher, the 4” focuser is no longer available, but our newer 3.5” focuser would be an appropriate replacement. We do not have them in stock at the moment, but they are in production. Click

By anyone, you probably mean me. If you have a lot of moment arm on the mount (lots of heavy counterweights far down on the cwt shaft), then you might have a situation where the scope is doing a bit

As soon as my Atik APX60 arrives and I get some test time in I'll share some data. Need to first light a new (to me) toa 150 and it's 67 flattener so that'll be the scope. Mach 2 of course will drive

I have a QSI that I love using. It is robust, extremely well done mechanically and just works. Thus I am interested in the Atik Cmos version which I didn't realize was in production. I don't know much

IMO, the fact that ZWO/QHY have the edge on getting new products out at crazy rate / competitive prices comes at the cost of instabilities that usually come along with any brand new fast-to-market

Hi everyone (logs/images at the end of post) Has anyone else seen this? ideas or suggestions appreciated Building a model in APPM 1.9.0.1, stars in images are trailing at specific sky areas

Yeah that's definitely a thing. I'm of course opposed to such things, but I also am the type that will spend hours working to squeeze every tiny bit of performance from optics and gets OCD about stars

Actually clever. Maybe they should run for public office too.

I recently saw an image taken with a cheap mount that shows nice tight round stars, even though the mount might have a fair amount of tracking error that bloats the stars and makes them oval during

The 10" is an astrograph with 1600mm focal length. No telecompressor is used. Astrographs, unlike refractors, have one function only - imaging. They are not versatile like refractors, which can be

Lots of detail. Are you using the .67x tc? Chris

I have an STF-8300M+FW5+OAG+STi setup that, until it got burned up a couple of years ago by an overvoltage event, worked reasonably-well. The biggest things I liked about it was the generally

Yes, very nice! I love seeing the crepe ring in front of the planet. Jeff

Great job, excellent image! Jim

If you mean that I have more Ha exposure, the answer is yes. I have not had enough clear weather to get more OIII yet. Working on it. I tried some SII, but there is virtually none in the image, so the
