Thanks Stuart and Emilio! clear skies, Dan

Thanks Tony. I agree it make sense. I would have to secure the OTA as well. regards, Dan

I have never done it to the observatory mounts which have been running for many years. I suppose I should at some point. Rolando

Thanks, Linwood. Thanks for clarifying, Roland. Nice to see continued improvements to the mount. Looks like it's so new it's not even mentioned in the manual (perhaps it's there, and I have yet to

Send the mount to a star (Vega) center it manually and press Recal. Then send the mount to Park3. See where it ends up. If it is in the correct position, then whatever app initialized the mount did

The first deep Ha images of this region were probably from the 48-inch Schmidt camera at Palomar. There have been multiple all sky surveys in Ha at lower resolutions that recovered these clouds about

Here is 8 hours of HA with my epsilon. I pulled the stars so you could see it. In grayscale its tough to see, but I imagine that when added to the red channel in a color image it might pop a little

Thank you Roland for your excellent explanation. It is still, somewhat interesting/confusing in that I live in Arizona which ignores daylight savings so the compensation in one respect is zero, but
