Thanks Colin. I doubt scale will be an issue but algae will. What do you think of maintaining a low level of chlorine in the water as I suggested...
Thanks William, I greatly appreciate this advice. I had already bought 2 valves and two quick connect fittings, with the intention of attaching...
On the subject of camera cooling, of course, as soon as I said I haven't had to use the water cooling, we had a warm spell. In fact in the early...
Thanks Colin, I had found it when I went looking hard enough. But thanks for the confirmation of the validity of this approach. In fact after I...
Hi, I am doing long focal length deep sky imaging (C14 Edge HD) with the SBIG 16803, FW7 filter wheel and the STX Guider. I don't have a rotator...
Hi Colin, Doug, I received the 12V pump. Thanks for that. I'll be sure not to plug it into the mains :-D I have 12V power at the pier and...
Hi Colin, I am not sure if you've heard from my supplier, but the pump you sent me is 110V. We use 240V in Australia. The pump itself had a tag...

Thanks for your reply. My version of CCDOps just crashes when I try to connect the camera. No message....it just disappears. All my drivers are up...
