The individual sub images are more telling of the remaining problem. Stacking the subs seemed to “fix” the remaining elongation more than I expected. I agree with you though, it sure looks

Ray I can get the mount's time from the site tab but then I have to manually set the computer to that time - a bit of a pain to do with any accuracy (but good enough for most purposes). The computer

Hi Not only that, but I have an MGBox V2 and a Sensorpush high accuracy sensor for temperature and there is a three degree difference between them....

Joe, That image is close to perfect. You would never see any funny stars even with a 4 foot wide print. So my next outing will be to tighten everything up. That includes the adapters and the screws

Hi Dale and Sebastien- thank you so much, this is very helpful. I can see how temperature is important for the APCC model, but does anyone have an idea of how important barometric pressure or RH are

Mine was fixed in Houston as well. AndySea on CN had to have his sent back to Japan.

thank you Luca!

Eric, see here below: Q:Did you purchase your Moravian equipment direct from the factory or are you fortunate enough to have a distributor nearby? A: I have a distributor now but I can tell you I

Tom, I have a 2016-2017 vintage FSQ-106, the model where they changed the color from white to a bluish white. I’ve used a full frame Nikon D800 for several years and it will produce pinpoint

No, the collimation for my FSQ106 was performed in Houston. It didn’t have to go to Japan. Luca

Hi Sam, In addition to what Dale said, you might want to take a look at this post : https://ap-gto.groups.io/g/main/message/78579 and maybe to the whole thread on this subject. Using OCH you can

Ok, that's how it should be. Was never like that for me, from day 1. Did they send it to Japan? Seems like the normal situation is 4 months without Japan!!

Better frame with more stars (widefield Sh2-155, the Cave Nebula). Luca

This is what mine looks like after its trip to Houston. It still needs a slight tweak of one of the corners and I think I can bring the entire frame to eccentricity <0.45. Tom: Tak USA requested

The FSQ106 has an 88mm imaging circle.

Is the FSQ even capable of supporting a true full frame 35mm like the 6200? I would be surprised if the image circle was that good. When we went to stellarvue for the SVX80T and the 6200, they had to

Hi Sounds like a plan. Did you remove the nightcrawler and put back the stock focuser when you shipped it to tak? I would hope they don't rely on a take focuser that could be out of alignment

I do solar imaging and recently decided on an i5 (NUC8i5BEK) which is the shorter version of Linwood's model. At the moment, I am having self inflicted port issues. I inadvertently converted ports

Beautiful image, Andrea! Congratulations on the new camera. Luca

Tom, While most likely there are optical aberrations contribute to what you are seeing, there is a simple test that you can run to see how much tilt is affecting your image. Run a set of exposures
