I already have two Raspberries and the advantage would be that of not being directly connected with the laptop to the telescope so I wouldn't be forced to stay under the sun, yes fircapture exists, but it doesn't have all the cameras available Understand, so you want to communicate wireless with th...

For the price of a Raspberry you can get a good Mini PC with included Windows 10Pro software.

May I ask what advantage do you expect getting a Raspberry?

Excuse my ignorance but are there video acquiring software for Raspberry?

Thanks

The equator is running from the left upper side to the right lower side in an angle of 27°

Hi,

I just found the image below. At least on Monday the Palm tree branches and leaves were useful

It is the shadow on the stairs to my observatory.

Hi Tareq,

Just a 1:1 crop, a simple Histogram stretch and a tiny bit of Unsharp Mask. Nothing else as I still do not understand Over- or Under sampling

Important for you is to focus near perfection.

Great images and Timelapse, Rainer. I’m surprised you didn’t make it to the centre line though. You can’t have been very far away from totality. Stu.

Hi Warren, Excellent. The best quote of the day was from a 5 year old girl that I showed the sun on my phone from the Seestar and she looked at the phone, then looked at the Seestar, and then looked at me and said, "That little thing does all of this?? That's cool!!" :girl: That little Gir...

Hi James,

Well done.

Well done. How about the sag in that long optical train especially the push in connection at the very first point in the focuser.

You are a great machinist. Why not make a threaded adapter for that point?

Excellent timing. Is the pilot your friend?

Well deserved SPoD

The first video is very impressive, I am presuming you kept it at a fixed exposure and it gradually got darker and darker, wow!! very moody!
