Dan, what a superb shot! Incredible detail! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/

Hi, The Perseus galaxy cluster is one of the most massive objects in the universe, made of thousands of galaxies immersed in a cloud of very hot gas, approximately 240 million l.y. from us. It is

I also use an Intel Nuc and it has worked great. I set up and tear down each night, but after setup, I use Remote Desktop from my M1 Mac Air inside the house and have never had issues. Like others

Good to hear. Windows Remote Desktop is Enterprise good. None of the other software we use meets that bar.

I spent a reasonable amount of time looking for a 12v one as well; can't remember if I got the exact same one, but it looks to be the same model from your link! Good to hear you're having success with

Bill, Linwood -- thanks. I have tried Remote Desktop from iOS briefly. I found that to be more reliable than the other 2 options I've tried. I'll stick with it going forward and root-cause _other_

All right. I am thinking of breaking down and getting a NUC for the field unit. Sitting in the vehicle while remoting into the mount with my laptop is sounding pretty good. It also provides for an

I recently picked a BeeLink U59. For me 12v source was key. I didn’t want to fiddle with an inverter as I run mostly on a 12v supply. https://a.co/4G0BRzm I also use : - a Pegasus Ultimate

It's not just there for folks with encoders. 🙂 After all the king of the throne about 5 years ago was T-Point, ProTrack, and Bisque's seemingly massive stranglehold on the unguided market with

Yes, the Mach2 and the software that unlocks unguided imaging is indeed a wonderful thing. If you have a Mach2 or an 1100 or 1600 with encoders you should give unguided a try. I agree with the

The modeling really is as good as people say it is. Here is a snip from my last OIII frame that just came in. This is 1:1 zoom, and as you can see these stars are excellent. 5 minute unguided subs,

+1 for min altitude. Don't spend time on points in parts of the sky you will not be using for Dec Arc mode.

>>>Andrea, I am sitting out at my remote site right now running a 3-Dec line mapping run (2 degree Dec spacing and 5 degree RA spacing) as I am waiting for the temperature to stabilize and my object

“Do you think that one single arc centred on the objects but very dense can work also better? 3 arcs for 3-5 degrees RA spacing is probably the best in terms of performance but time required is also

Roland, when you say that a one dec line map works well as long as your polar alignment is “good”, how good are you talking about? -- Dean Jacobsen Astrobin Image Gallery -

Eckhard et al I have no problem with APCC in its present form. I prefer diverse functions to be across programs, NOT integrated. Perhaps I am in the minority, but I am sure I am not unique. I use

One more thing about Windows Remote Desktop -- you need to ensure remote connections are allowed:

I will give a one line model a try. -- Dean Jacobsen Astrobin Image Gallery - https://www.astrobin.com/users/deanjacobsen/

I have tried many times just one Dec arc modeled instead of 3. It works very well. This assumes that your polar alignment is good and doesn't have much Dec drift. Rolando
