Oh awesome Pete, thank you so very much. Wonderful forum. Mike

This is my solution, no 3D printing required. It's a Jubilee clip and it works really well. Notice it is a genuine Jubilee Clip not a cheap copy so probably costs a bit more. It would be nice if ES

Thanks Jerry! That explains it; it is an artifact... Live and learn. So nobody else go hunting for it; it only exists in my image train :) -- Bill Location: Dallas, GA Scopes: Celestron C8, AstroTech

This was my solution to this same issue. I found that this Nikon 90° viewfinder for a SLR camera works very well. I simply attached a half of a .965 bolt case over the threads from the viewfinder,

Yes, it is called the "Reflection Nebula"..... It is an artifact in your image caused by the bright star Vega reflecting either off the clear camera chip cover or another optic you may have in the

Hi All, so it's been cloudy here for months, it seems. Finally gave up on completely clear skies because I wanted to get out and test out a few things. Vega was just about the only thing not covered

Mike, Hopefully you saved your .ser file made by mistake. I made exactly the same mistake with SharpCap, and was horrified to think my data was gone. Fortunately there is a very nice program

Hi Steve, Yes, I would appreciate any testing you would like to do once we have completed our internal Alpha testing. We have yet to create a standard installation package for the new server/driver,

Thank you. Yes I have learned a little about stacking. Thanks for the other suggestions, awesome. This evening 2am was going to try andromeda galaxy again, 3rd star alignment, ready to goto, and

Hey Jerry. 1) I downloaded and installed devicehub (on Ascom Platofrm 6.4 sp1/latest/whatever) and noticed similar behavior with NINA. It worked for a while, then failed to slew and was

You are just starting out, lots to learn, as a matter of fact the learning never stops, sometimes it is like drinking from a fire hose. I will address a couple things, You need to find your camera's

Nice image. I just bought a zenithstar 73 apo doublet and the exos 2 pmc eight mount, and a zwo asi294mc pro camera. My very first photo of the sky ever at age 61 lol. So what went wrong?

So after seeing the images of M13 lastnight at the Virtual Star Party, I wanted to add my M13 to the frey. I was imaging 7/10 and my target was the Pelican Nebula, but after getting everything up and

I would also be interested in such a device if it was compatible with the iExos 100. -- Harry Vero Beach, FL Scopes: ES ED80CF, ES AR102, Meade ETX 90 EC (Deforked) Mounts: ES iExos 100-PMC Eight,

HI Pavel, Yes, I responded to that discussion on CloudyNights. A 10 degree shift in angle with the north facing tripod leg is an effective strategy and will still result in a stable mount, but if you

Hi, I would like to ask if there is someone using the iEXOS-100 mount beyond 60˚ north/south. It is obvious to anyone who tried that the R.A. lock knob and the latitude adjustment knob crash together

Hi Alberto, Thanks for sharing your solution with the forum members. I am looking forward to your alignment results. -- Jerry Hubbell Vice President of Engineering Explore Scientific, LLC. jrh at
