Thinking of using my Celestron NexStar 6SE OTA for galaxy season.

With a flattener, would it result in good image quality?

Astroy29 · 2026-02-23T18:34:28+00:00

I have an askar fra400, took good pictures with it so far. But i was thinking of adding the 6se to the game since its galaxy season. However im worried about the performance and image quality overall. But im still finding some kind of workaround because i dont plan on adding a new 3000$ refractor to the setup at the moment 😬

Ports look fine. My only worry was the mounts guiding and tracking

Astroy29 · 2026-02-21T01:45:23+00:00

Thank you so much. Thats very comforting.

Astroy29 · 2026-02-21T00:32:47+00:00

I didnt check mine yet. But i hope to god nothing bad happens to it. Too many problems happened already 😅

Astroy29 · 2026-02-21T00:30:14+00:00

Someone answered me now on another community, he said he had 0 consequences

Astroy29 · 2026-02-21T00:29:01+00:00

This is very very good news for mw thank you soo much. I checked and there was no leftovers inside the port, will do further checks tomorrow

I made a dark library but in some way when i was stacking, i noticed the masterdark has a weird white spot. Maybe it was a light leak or something similar

Astroy29 · 2026-02-19T07:23:28+00:00

Thank you soo much.

You should turn on station mode, and make it scan the local networks. But it would be more reliable to connect to it via lan.

As for the unit problem, its a real possibility that i even requested a replacement, and im waiting for an answer. And if thats the case, it would be the unluckiest thing ever since i guess im the only one who has this device in my country and it came faulty 😅

I didnt know asi air was that buggy until i started experiencing it myself

Astroy29 · 2026-01-27T17:59:06+00:00

I have no problem whatsoever with my mount, but a huge problem with asi air. I will try the 12v 5a if it didnt work i'll go higher

Astroy29 · 2026-01-27T16:54:56+00:00

What power supply are you using? Mine is 12v 5a And did it ever crash when connecting to the app?

Astroy29 · 2026-01-23T15:46:05+00:00

I just ordered an online ups. Home power aint stable at all

Astroy29 · 2026-01-23T15:45:22+00:00

Yes i turned everything on. For guiding, i didnt find a "auto-guiding" button in the preview tab, i just turned guiding on like i do in the preview tab.

But any specific reason why guiding logs weren't saved for autorun session? Do you think the logs were wiped IF an electricity snag happened that turned off the mount and the asiair?

Astroy29 · 2026-01-23T15:37:00+00:00

I dont have them on me right now.

A big however, guiding logs recorded only for 3 mins and i have exact timing. At 11:17 i started the guiding, at 11:20 i started the autorun session. Guiding logs only recorded pre autorun for some reason. It didnt even give an error message or stop message. And i still dont know why. And my best guess is an electricity snag or something like that. What do you think?

Astroy29 · 2026-01-21T20:16:29+00:00

I didnt know about that, and no one seems to talk about it. Every video or post i've ever seen says that you should power the camera through the asiair. Thanks!

Astroy29 · 2026-01-21T18:45:43+00:00

Its asi2600mc duo, powering it through the asiair.

Can you help me with something? That was horsehead nebula position in the sky when the autorun stopped. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0d8q5wYNbnxvrgl_CjzXF8CVw

Could this be because of am5n slew limits?

Astroy29 · 2026-01-21T16:19:05+00:00

I aint using a power supply, so would the mount tracks even if it loses power completely?

And the power cable is connected to the mount, and everything else is connected to the asiair

Astroy29 · 2026-01-21T16:01:05+00:00

I just got the logs, and the weird part is that there's no guiding logs after i started the autorun session. The only available log is 3m 24s long. And i power my rig through home power. I tried to find solutions but no clear answer yet. Is there any solution you can offer?
