OnLogic makes computers for extreme temperature range and they are only slightly more expensive than NUCs

Well you obviously have your opinion.  Personally, I think it's irresponsible to make a recommendation to operate some unknown device outside it's specified tolerances.   If you want to take those

I have a NUC in the dome - runs pretty much 24/7 never an issue. I'd buy it again now 3 years later. No fan, i5, I run M2 and SS drives. I do have one - 1-TB external laptop drive that has been on

There tends to be a preposterous amount of technical hand-wringing on this list, and a penchant to take things to unlikely extremes and obsess over those extremes like a worrywart. If -10C (14F)

I will post small jpegs of these for others to see. Robert

Thanks Roland. Robert

These images show only mild overcorrection and no obvious turned edge defects, so no need for masking the outer part of the mirror. I will check a Roddier analysis, but won't be expecting any issues

Ok. The only way I know to do that is Dropbox. I’m not sure if that can be used for a group. What is the max file size we should send? Robert

Please do not send big filesto the group. Some people live rural and DO NOT have fast speeds. Provide aplace where people can see them if interested. Mike J. Shade: mshade@q.com Mike J. Shade

These are cropped to just show the star. They are much bigger full size. Robert

Thanks. They were 2.4mb when sent. Robert

I got the message with the four FITS filesattached. I can't open them on this computer though (no software to openthe FITS). The total size for the four files was 10.5 MB. That seems kindof small

The message came through with four 3.6mb files. Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

I think the files were too big to send. Did anyone get them?

I took the test shots you suggested. I used Pollux and shot 1,3,5,15.30 sec exposures inside and outside of focus. The 1 and 3 sec seemed to look the best but tell me if you want the 5, 15 and/or 30

Okay, I had the “Data Source: Serial”? set to Serial…switched it over to ASCOM and things are working J Many Thanks Tony

Try installing the application first that comes with it. Try connecting to make sure the MGBox V2 is working. Once that is working and you have installed its ASCOM driver, shut down the MGBox app and

Try rebooting the computer and then only connecting MGBox -> APCC-- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Hi Brian, I did try it with just APCC running but it’s the same – no GPS and no environmental data? Tony

sorry i should say if you're connected to serial in the MGBox app, it will block APCC. disconnect/quit that app and it should connect-- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com
