A couple of shots in SS mode 8/8/2022

Post by rigel123 »

Since I appeared to be having issues with my DS I took a couple of more shots of interesting areas in SS mode with the Lunt LS60T, ASI174MM and Meade 3X TeleXtener.

One of those proms looks like a fat little critter on stumpy legs! Your image shows it better than I could see it.

Thanks Alexandra and Arne! I’m hoping to really check out the DS unit this morning Alexandra as clear skies are predicted. But simply the fact that things changed so abruptly I am concerned something is amiss.

Thanks Maurits and I re-tuned everything this morning and things seem fine with both the scope and DS unit. I must have inadvertently really spun the wheels on the tilt mechanisms when putting stuff away and just needed to start from scratch again. I'll know more after the imaging session this morning, but so far things look back to normal.
