Another thought....Do you have a location for your observing stored in the HC and are you sure you are using that one. I have a few different sites saved in my hand controller so if you have the wrong

try removing both scopes and put a refractor on in standard position...centered instead of offset. See if that helps. With that much weight and I suspect not equally balanced side to side, that may be

Very impressive photo. I think Roland made a great scope for him....but his processing skills are spectacular so lets give him the credit he deserves. 90 hours of imaging time over 3 years.....90 hour

Roland is right....a windscreen is first thing to consider. Of course a dome or roll off roof observatory helps but when I move away from my home setup to a star party I have a few tricks and things I

Thanks for great explanation of the differences Roland. I have a 900 and also a 1100 (no encoders yet). More information now to make the decision to add encoders to the 1100.

Nice photo of Northern Lights. Here in Michigan we do get some nice Aurora photos also. With the increase in solar activity I have been enjoying doing day time Ha imaging....best of it is....no mosqui

Welcome to the new team members. Eric....you dad has helped me through a few minor issues over the years....very dedicated guy and patient.

I live in S/E MIchigan 25 miles North of Detroit and while it is a good sized housing development with thousands of people, there are coyotes near us and some times they come into the neighborhoods. T

I used PEM PRO to polar align my newer 1100 and older 900 mounts. I than insert the RAPAS and zero it to agree by placing Polaris on the correct location on the RAPAS dial (from the app) by adjusting

Brent...nice job. Is that a video in a format like AVI that can be entered into Autostakkert? If so Autostakkert would pick best shots, perfectly align, and stack into a higher resolution single image

I would consider getting a used 900 mount for the 14" used visually....photographically it works fine. I have one as well as a 1100. If buying new I would go with the 1100 with a 14" over the Mach II.

I don't have either QHY or ZWO but do have an ATIK camera also. They are made in Portugal and of very high quality. ATIK is located in the UK. The one I have is their OSC camera 490EX which is a round

For remote imaging I use a Meade Giant Field tripod. Originally with my 900 GTO I just drilled and taped holes to attach the mount directly on the flat top of the Meade. Used it that way for years. I

Excellent photo of a rarely photographed object. VERY nice.

My wife and 3 kids are grads or almost grads (one to go) at University of Michigan For years UofM alumni would take photos of them wearing school clothing and hats in interesting places and they would

I am a BETA tester for Sky Safari. I recently noted that after a recent update the time is incorrect and an hour off. You can verify if you have this problem by opening the app and looking at the time

I notified Sky Safari folks about the time issue AND the incorrect time (I am a BETA tester for Sky Safari). They confirmed it and issued an update to correct it. So if you use Sky Safari Pro 6 update

George. Thanks!! You are the hero in my book. Also ask about the issue listed in post #7956 above in this topic.

The latest Sky Safari Pro release has a new issue with the time. You can set the time correctly but it will be an hour behind....(check at the upper right to see what time is shown). I have verified t

I have a RAPAS on my 1100. I run lots of wires (around 6) through the mount and no issue. There is a plastic segmented "separator" that comes with the mount that allows you to run the cables through a
