Gina Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hi all. I'm printing parts for my latest all sky camera. Can't tell you how many I've made and found lacking in one way or another - I've lost count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don4l Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm busy trying to put together a 25 frame mosaic of Cygnus.The frames all look OK on their own, but when I put them next to each other they look totally unrelated. A little bit of fiddling in Affinity and it should be ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carastro Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I can see this thread becoming very popular as in previous threads some of us have been involved in on a similar vein.I have been putting my Adapters and focal reducer and spacers together for my new Esprit, just waiting for the clouds to clear. Having done all that, somehow magically I can no longer seem to screw my Samyang lens adapter to my EFW, some adapter has gone Walk about, and I am quite stumped and frustrated. It all worked just fine before, can't for the life of me understand what has happened. Had all the boxes and adapters out. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWright Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Very frustrating @Carastro when you've waiting so long for the new flattener! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Well if it stops raining then I have to finish my observatory, the New Pulsar control packed in so I have a new module to fit and then just finalise the parameters.I haven't imaged anything for a month whilst waiting to get the replacement dome set up, I'll start a post in the Observatory section later.

Carole You will be pleased to hear that you are not alone.Every single time that I change the setup at the back of my FSQ, some adapters have mysteriously dissappeared. To make the problem 10 times worse, I never know which bits that I am missing!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveS Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Nothing doing here, asn we have an Amber weather warning,Waiting for some blackcurrants to defrost so I can use them in jam. Collected from my garden and frozen as soon as I got back in. Accumulated over a couple of weeks I should think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Astro imaging looks very unlikely in the foreseeable future. Clear Outside shows some green Thursday night but the Met Office shows cloud or rain all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 274 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 trying to combine my M42 mono & RGB from about 3yrs ago - never was happy with it.Learned a bit more since then, but just trying to find a way through the soup in PixInsight.Its proving harder to smash 2 atoms together at room temp at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Not up to a lot other than watching tele and eating chocolates. It is my birthday after all so I'm being a slob ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
