You can also try it in NINA’s native FLI driver. I have it so that if the driver has issues grabbing a row and the FLI SDK throws an error, that will be logged. If no error is thrown when the affected

With the normal places we take our 18 month old closed and activities cancelled, I worked all day in the yard while he played in the dirt for the first time. He had a great time while I, who was clear

Yeah it's shorter than the standard 1.125" shaft. It's actually a design feature of the Mach1 that you can remove the saddle from the top of the dec axis to expose the center hole that goes down throu

Grats on the expansing A-P arsenal. Yeah, you need to get one of the three varieties of 1.875" diameter CW shafts here: https://www.astro-physics.com/mach1-upgrades-parts/ If your Mach1 came with CW s

There's an instance of the A-P ASCOM driver still running for some reason, and the installer was unable to get it to quit. This is not an uncommon occurrence with ASCOM drivers in general and is rathe

Yes, and the irony is that these rated systems will contain a lot of the same components the non-rated models do, including the solid state storage. These kind of extreme systems focus more on cooling

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) meant

-10C is hardly extreme. Get ahold of yourself.

If you use solid state drives, you'll be fine.

OnLogic ML100G-50 or ML100G-51. Intel Whiskey Lake CPU that is quite powerful for its 15W TDP. Throw 16GB of RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD in there and you have a good system that will handily run a DSO imagi

Assuming that the screenshot you provided was taken right after the erroneous event, the reason why guiding stopped in plainly-stated: Something external to PHD2 commanded the mount to slew while PHD2

It’s hard to say what happened with such a superficial description. Did PHD2 start complaining about the loss of lock on the guide star? It would have been flashing its UI and displaying a warning to

What are your networking requirements? Do you /need/ wireless or is ethernet alone fine? I also presume you will be using it only for system control and image acquisition, so low CPU requirements but

TSX has rudimentary sequence orchestration and automation. What you're looking for is more akin to the tasks and capabilities of applications such as SGPro, Voyager, PRISM, APT, CCD-Commander, and the

Be careful what you wish for...

I wouldn't use tape. It's prone to turning out to be a mess, has a high chance of not being perfectly circular, and yea the adhesive could have an effect on the coating. I would have a mask 3D printed

How good would 2.5um pixels look on a 2.5m focal length at 0.21"/pixel? Pretty good provided you have the extra time that will be required to expose the target and if "normal" seeing for you is also i

Yeah, those are working out to be great sensors (the mono or color ~61mp IMX455, or the color-only 26.8mp IMX571, both with 3.76um pixels). I still keep dreaming that Sony (or someone) will release a

Perhaps... probably would be fine. The 2.5-5um pixel size range of the common CMOS sensors these days will demand good seeing at that kind of focal length, but it's workable. What I would do is always

The built-in NTP client and their respective default servers in Windows and macOS (and any other modern OS for that matter) is more than sufficient for most needs, including practical and pedestrian a
