No need to use a switch in the field unless you, for some reason, have multiple systems remoting into your imaging NUC. No need to turn off wifi on the NUC, either. Just make sure its list of known

The actual top recommended voltage isn't an absolutely precise number because variables like altitude, ambient temperature, relative humidity and localized air movement play significant roles in heat

There's not much to fear from good switching supplies. I've tested many under load, and rarely see more than a few millivolts of AC measured either with a meter or on an oscilloscope. Some cameras,

Agreed on that one. I had way too many instances where something works perfectly at home and then not at all in the field - and all you need is to download something... I actually use an ethernet

If you bundle all of the cables from the telescope and route them to a strut extending beyond the back plate 200 mm or so, then allow the bundle to form a loop to a point on the south side of the

Looks and sounds great. Marj and you deserve a break now and then....hopefully more of the now. Yes, there can be moments of Heaven on Earth. Well done and enjoy! Jeff

Sure. Sounds good. Same here. Mostly enterprise datacenter work here. And over the years I have learned how flakey/buggy the consumer stuff can be (not to mention insecure). If the stack is so

>>>Alternative: Deoxit Gold is a liquid in a tube not spray, and you could use a q-tip to apply ( i agree - i use only the spray on to a q-tip and then apply. -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Howdy, I second this. If the RJ-45 contacts need cleaning, it is best to use a q tip with DeOxit cleaner. The connector internals are potted, so you would have avery hard time getting the DeOxit

I was considering that, but wanted to be sure there were no possible issues with the spray possibly entering the CP4. Alternative: Deoxit Gold is a liquid in a tube not spray, and you could use a

You can use anywhere from 12.5 to 18 volts on the 1100 mount. So if you have a variable voltage supply, dial it in to about 14.5 volts. It will work at up to 24 volts but will get quite hot, so it's

what a dream ... fantastic you don't need much equipment , I wish I'll have the chance to get there one time. Andrea

Beautiful images Roland. tony

Forgot to include: The images were shot this evening on our driveway and lanai with my little Sony NEX7 and an inexpensive 12mm wide angle Rokinon lens. Single exposure of 30 seconds at F2.8 for the

Hi Astronuts, I haven't been as active on the groups because Marj and I took a short vacation to Hawaii Island just over a week ago. I will be back in the office early next week. For those who have

Many people have a slow eye-hand response time, so slewing around with the buttons can cause a crash at high rates. Rolando

You are quite right Jerome. This is a potential issue for any mount. It’s all physics. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics 11250 Forest Hills Road Machesney Park, IL 61115 Phone:

I sent you a private response on this. Thanks.

Hi Curtis, You should use the Log Zipper utility, which is available from PEMPro's Wizard's menu. Please include the debug logs, which is an option in the Log Zipper utility. BTW, please make sure
