Thanks Doug
Following Mike's lead on an excellent image/target of the Silver Sliver. This version taken with an STC-7 and SC-2 guider with a f/9 refractor at...
Thanks Doug. The scope is doing well. Making a color mosaic would be an interesting but time-consuming project. Here's m27, taken late in the...
Testing an old 228mm aperture - f/9 refractor for astrophotography. Was able to motorize the focuser; works well BTW. Attached is a 250 image...
Here's a quasi-first light* image of m43 taken with a 229mm @f9 refractor. A stack of 4 x 60 seconds with STC 7 at Med Gain and guided by an SC2....
Excellent! Thanks Doug
Will the 2" adapter that ships with the STC-7 work with the Star Chaser 2 (ie. minimal vignetting) on a f/9 refractor t-Scope? One can assume the...
Hmmm.. The aforementioned part number appears to be the part inside the camera....
No wonder the 16803 stopped playing nice, you missed its 10'th year birthday. Best, Tim
The skiers are happy and think the Wx is great owing to Northern Utah mountains having a 60" (1.5m) of snow dump.
Just happened to notice the asteroid in this stacked frame of M45. Notes: Optics: Astro-Physics 305mm F/3.8 Riccardi-Honders Astrograph...
-011 Got it Thank You! Tim
Can anyone kindly provide the dimensions of the STC-7 descant plug? Is it O-ring a #6 -OR- 8mm x 12mm x 2mm ? Measured with a caliper but that...
A raspberry Pi-4 with the VirtualHere USB Arm specific driver worked well with an STL-1100, ST402 with serial to USB based focuser and mount. The...
The terminology is a bit confusing. The next challenge is to find the multiconductor cable at a reasonable price.
For the STL-11000M CCD camera the 6 pin connector looks like a Switchcraft 12BL6MX, available from Mouser. Having both items on hand, the...
After a yearlong attempt to get PEC programmed into the AP 900 mount, (queue the Violins), I finally figured out the problem was due to one of the...
Here's the ShimMap for my STL-11000M, from 2005. I guess the corrections are in inches which would make that 10-thou. Hmmm wonder who the tech...
Using the M101 fits image from the initial posting, an "image link" in the Sky X seems to indicate the artifact is optical in nature. The spike...
Here is a "not bad" image of the lunar eclipse taken with an STC-7 via an AP R-H scope. Thin clouds didn't help and only 2 images for each RGB...
