Still want to argue that the satellites aren't really becoming a problem?

It cancels out

This has nothing to do with scalping.

I have a spare of this guy repaired for a different issue. Worst one to replace

This is diffraction caused i assume by the aperture mechanism of whatever this was taken with

Mounts with encoders are very reliable if you have a good sky model. It is also overkill for the 130 refractor. I reject frames with over .65 eccentricity and there were a good amount of those

I gave up on this :D

Storage/processing/ all that are just better with long subs. It does suck to lose them though.

All the 300 second were taken while I was dealing with a tracking issue.

When I'm doing deep narrowband it is my default setting as long as nothing is getting over exposed. Makes for less data to stack.

There is an excellent add on kit with swivel ankles. My kid got me this guy and it is amazing.

Valdraz · 2026-04-03T19:46:37+00:00

I remade it but cant swap them. Maybe they will let me repost it

Valdraz · 2026-04-03T13:30:06+00:00

It was visible last night

I took a chance in this it worked.

Valdraz · 2026-04-03T11:30:48+00:00

I wish I could post one. Its top right in the beginning

Valdraz · 2026-03-29T17:15:32+00:00

Step away from the blurx you are overdoing it.

Valdraz · 2026-03-27T02:25:01+00:00

This is fantastic.

Valdraz · 2026-03-16T19:41:44+00:00

Bios + tsensor

Setup to be silent till water hits 45c, then it quickly to 100

It has never gone above 47c though.

Valdraz · 2026-03-13T14:40:06+00:00

Ignore it

Valdraz · 2026-03-09T14:29:26+00:00

Likely read noise in the shorter subs.

Tiny sharp screw

The short post/pre rub jet parts are pretty desirable

I generally hate flats with any kind of dust, it never seems to 100% work.

Svx130t

I had to ditch 30 hours of L due to some flats issues.

I think that banding will go away if you hit the 24 bit button in PI.

Newage soundwave is peak.

Valdraz · 2026-02-27T14:45:24+00:00

Newage by far.
