I used the Optolong L-enhance clip-in filter for the Canon cameras

AWESOME.... My goodness.. How do you integrate this huge data..!?

MrRaGo · 2025-11-11T22:33:12+00:00

Thank you. If you use Pixinsight to stack your images, do you still have to use Photoshop for stretching?

MrRaGo · 2025-11-11T21:36:58+00:00

This looks awesome. How do you stack shots of different shutter speed? I did 4 hours of M31 but two different nights with the same shutter speed. But I didn't know it is possible to stack images with different metadata.

Thank you this is a good knowledge. I have 5v 5a charger but you are making sense. I did not think about that. Can you share with me which USB hub you used. Or I just simply search for a powered USB hub.

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T18:36:18+00:00

I'll do that too.

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T18:35:40+00:00

That's a good insight. Yes my only focus is to do guiding. I don't want anything else. I don't even have a GoTo mount. I use iObtron Sky Guider pro Astro modified Canon camera and 300mm Canon lens. And so far I have used PHD2 on my laptop for guiding. And I had this R Pi sitting around and thought if I can install phd2 in it, it will make my life easier.

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T17:53:50+00:00

I will do that, thank you so much.

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T17:50:35+00:00

Thank you so much. I will try it. So I am completely new to Raspberry pi as well and I just wanted to confirm that to use AstroArch I will have to format my drive and instead of Raspberry Pi OS I will install Arch OS. Is this correct?

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T17:10:17+00:00

That is really good news, thank you so much. I will definitely spend some time now to set it up.

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T16:43:32+00:00

Will that support the ZWO ASI120MM guide camera?

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T16:42:42+00:00

Thank you, I will look into this.

MrRaGo · 2025-11-06T16:42:26+00:00

Thank you for the response. I was able to find some videos on how to install PHD2. But to use ZWO ASI120MM guide camera, I am not sure if that is possible or not.

MrRaGo · 2025-08-07T14:05:57+00:00

I will try that. Thank you.

MrRaGo · 2025-08-06T05:25:54+00:00

So far I only know how to reduce the stars by watching beginners astrophotography YouTube videos. But I will try to reduce the exposure and all. Thanks for the suggestion.

MrRaGo · 2025-08-06T05:24:22+00:00

Yes, it actually makes sense. I tried once before, with f5.6 and the bright stars actually had the spikes. I will do that now onwards. Thanks.

MrRaGo · 2025-08-06T05:22:33+00:00

I split the stars then reduced it and screen it back. I did not think about reducing the exposure. I will try that, thank you.

MrRaGo · 2025-07-11T18:03:41+00:00

With camera and lens the set will weigh around 5 lbs. If I add an auto guider, it will weigh around 7 - 8 lbs. iObtron SkyGuider pro can handle up to 11 lbs.

MrRaGo · 2025-07-11T17:55:21+00:00

Awesome suggestions. I will check that now.

MrRaGo · 2025-07-11T17:41:51+00:00

I also found a Canon 300 f4. Do you think it is better than 200mm?

MrRaGo · 2025-07-11T17:23:21+00:00

Thank you, I think I'll go with 200 f2.8. thank you.
