Nice set. I have a slow disk in my Dell XPS laptop which buffers and slows down capture after about 300 frames.
So I grab consecutive shorter SERs and concatenate them ( and centre them if I use drift to reduce NRs ) using PIPP.
Cheaper than getting a new disk.
Hope you sort out the problems.
Best wishes,
David

Yes I do and helen loves to help where she can but she is a bit height restricted and struggles to reach the front etalon - steps are an option but she is very unsteady with her knees.
I am going to explore some more cable options like a looooong VGA cable and see if I can get a wireless mouse and keyboard to talk at that distance.
I could move the mount but that would mean I lose the low planets.

Steve:
Rainer a friend of mine and also a member of the fórum, moves his etalon tilters with small motors, so adjusting is very easy while viewing the sun. I think he loaded sometime ago some photos of his unique system.
He also lives in México, so I will try to get in touch with him.
Best regards,
Eric.

Hi Steve,
I do have 6m long arms. They reach from the inside of my warm room up to my etalons on my solarscope

Hi Steve,
I took off the silly tuning wheel. Flattened that part and put those holders where the wheel was.
If you need more info please contact me.
