What did you find? How faint? Roland

Hi Bill, I believe there was a fix in one of the recent betas. Here's a link to the latest beta in case you would like to try

I have never been able to get ASCOM Camera to work. I get arcane dialogs like this one:

Thanks!  That is helpful. I notice that the version that I'm running does not have the Dec Arc tab in the properties for the plug-in.  The plug-in version number that I have is 1.3.5.0. What

Pretty cool Roland. Yeah it does look like a glazed donut. Now I'm hungry. BTW, I had fun searching out all the faint galaxies you also captured. That's pretty cool too. Jeff

Wade- I use a wifi bridge to simulate an ethernet connection to my observatory. Costs about $90. I use Ubiquite Nanostation M2 but TPLink has good products as well, both are cheap. Mine works very

Greetings, Astro-Nuts! Our website is currently not working, along with a number of other online services, it appears. I’m sure this is a short-term outage. Thanks for your patience and

Model servos move really fast. My Arduino program introduces a 10-millisecond delay per degree over the 145-degree movement, so it takes 1.45 seconds to open or close a cap. The delay can be

Really nice writeup Mike! i bookmarked it for future reference. I noted your DIY telescope caps. Boy those are fast! Brian -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com
