For the 140FL lens the back distance is between 98.0 to 98.5mm, measured from the back flange of the TCC. If you use the 18.3mm extension then the distance from the back flange of that piece is 79.7

Are Ethernet connectors any better? Were they designed for outdoor use? Roland

A bit of Loctite would fix that. Roland

Can you go out to the scope and look to see what the mount is doing during that time? Roland

Hey guys. Thought you may want an update on my initial review of this turret from last week. Very interesting what/who they said the problem was. Full documentation and another test with smaller

Yes it's binning 1x1. If my downloaded file sizes are 120MBytes, then it's bin 1x1. Peter

Hi Peter, First, NINA (version 2.0 HF1 Beta010) doesn't support ZWO native driver only ASCOM. Are you sure your binning mode is 1x1 ? There is a huge difference of downloading time between 1x1 and

Hi Bill, Yes, but you can only expect so much from it because it has at least two limitations: 1. It does not compensate for any image distortion. 2. It does not account for stellar

Exactly my point, so don’t expect to get more out of them.

you might try increasing your settle time to see if it helps this. try maybe 30 seconds? When i was troubleshooting i sometimes went as high as 60 seconds, just to see if this was a settle issue I

A few extra things I want to call out. Using ASTAP vs SkyX Image Link had no effect on the frames, sorry Ray, ASTAP is good enough for this task. Using NINA for the camera worked well, but since we

*I* will state clearly that USB mini and micro connectors are complete rubbish. And USB A and B aren't far behind. The IEEE USB specs say they should be good to several hundred connects/disconnects.

Results so far, first frame was pretty poor but a gust of wind came in. Frames since then have been fine, even with mild wind. My current suspect is the dew shield on the telescope causing any amount

I havent used SGP in years, but have recently used NINA to do PA and to do Camera Control for APPM. At those tasks it seems fairly good. I did run its current focusing a few times, and while it was

One of the reasons I thought I’d give NINA a try was that SGP refused to use native drivers and only use ASCOM. While I see the standards logic, I knew this would be slower. I even paid an annual

Back to testing this tonight. Made a few changes: Removed the Astrozap Dew Shield from the scope. Tightened the telescope tube rings down a little further (I use the 8" A-P rings on my E160-ED). How
