Very interesting, thanks for posting. I am just starting to look into binning and hope to run a similar test, but I would only bin R/G/B, not L. (I probably wouldn't bin narrowband either.) To Greg's

I'm running my new 1100 through its paces and I think that I'm seeing some dec backlash. Here are two graphs that (I believe) show some indication of it: http://bartolini.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-2/p24521

Thanks Rolando and Chris. Rolando - I have no intention of moving the geartrain manually any time soon, but thanks for the further clarification. On to my next newbie stumbling block...

I'm setting up my new mount and I just want to verify one item. I will be running (at least) APCC and Sequence Generator Pro that will be connecting with the mount. I believe that I only need one seri

Thanks Joe, but I have a question. This is from the AP website: "The base of the 1100GTO slips directly into the 119FSA. There is no need for an extra pier adapter, as the 1100 incorporates the functi

I currently image with SGPro as the main control software, and I'm considering purchasing an AP mount. I notice that the APCC lists a number of features that might be of interest to me, such as home s

Thanks everyone, I was thinking on a (roughly) 10x10 observatory, so it sounds like that should be ok. To answer the other question, my scope is an AT10RC, possibly with an 80mm refractor piggybacked

Hi all, I am looking to have a small ROR observatory built in my backyard. I was looking on the AP website but couldn't find the answer to this question - what is the minimum area needed to safely ope
