Very basic question, Where can I find the latest ascom drivers for the pmc eight unit? On the ES website I realized it still downloads the 2019 version Walter

This is a much more difficult project than I thought... 120 x 60 subs stacked and post processed with SiriL. These galaxies are faint and light pollution bites...

Hi All, You might be already aware of this, but latest PHD2 build enables multi star guiding. There is a long thread on cloudy nights https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/743080-phd2-adds-multi-star-gui

Problem Exos 2 - Small component, big impact
#EXOS2
Thanks for sharing! Would it be possible to share the specs and from where you order these replacements? It would be good as a reference for an upgrade I might try myself in the future. Walter

Hi Paul, That’s very nice! How often did you dither? I read you have to dither quite a bit to take advantage if drizzle. I am curious to see the difference with regular stacking too. Best, Walter

Hi Derrell, That looks great! I was a bit disappointed I was able to put together my gear (and a basic set of skills) late for the winter targets, but this makes me feel excited about doing galaxy sea

Hi all, This is my first ever serious try from a Bortle 5 backyard, unmodded DSLR and no filters... 180x30s subs. I chose very short exposures to avoid too much saturation. My exos2 worked flawlessly.

Advice on exos2 dec movement.
#EXOS2
Hi Jerry, Your point makes totally sense. Just as a reference point for a new Exos2 owner, what would you consider a good range for polar alignment offset? Anything as large as to avoid field rotation

3-4" RA wiggling while PHD2 guiding with EXOS2-GT PMC-eight
#EXOS2
#astrophotography
Thank you all for your help, I will try switch guiding from my guide scope (162 mm) to my imaging scope (480) and see if guiding improves next time I have clear skies. That will give my a pixel scale

Hi Jerry, Thanks for looking at the logs. I went for the Orion guiding package because of its popularity. I thought it would be more than enough to guide my ED 80 at a 2 arc-sec/pixel imaging scale, b

Hi Joseph, I am totally new to the hobby too (hi everyone :)! ), actually just a couple of nights out with autoguiding, but my ES PMC-8 EXOS2 has a similar (even wider I would say) play on RA and I ha
