  1. Hi Mark

     

    You are not alone!

     

    I also use a DDM60 with Autoslew, Sequence, Maxim DL and Starry Nights without problems. I use only DSLRs, but even with a DSLR all works perfect.

    Meridian Flip during Sequence Run or parking scope after Sequence Run, no problems.

    But my setup is mobile too, no experiences with domes or remote controlling, so I cannot reconstruct the problems from other users.

     

    Best regards

  2. Hi

     

    Here is my attempt on M 51.

    Because of very bad conditions I have tried to gather as much data a possible, totally ~22h

    It is also my first image with my self modified Canon 500D Mono.

     

    ASA 10" Astrograph, ASA 1.8 Barlow (focal length 1620mm, f6.8)

     

    More data and full resolution image: http://www.distant-lights.at/m51-2014_03_28.htm

  3. Hi Christian

     

    It seems sequence has not found a suitable focus star in the closer area of your target (depending on the mag-limits in the autofocus settings tab).

    In this case try to find a focus star near your target manually and enter the coordinates in your target file.

     

    Otherwise sequence uses the focus star from the target-file for synching at the beginning of a sequence session (if this is turned on in the settings tab).

     

     

    Best Regards

  4. Hi

     

    Here's an 2-panel mosaic of NGC 7331 and Stephan's Quintet. 

    Taken with the 10" Astrograph and the ASA 2" 1.8 Barlow-Corrector (focal length 1620mm, f/6.8)

    Each panel 10h exposure time in 15min subs with a Canon 500D

    Mount was a DDM60, unguided

    Mount controlling and image acquisition automatically with Sequence Beta (works perfectly)

  5. Hi Pavel

     

    Thank you!

    I found this nebula while searching for suitable objects for my setup with the full frame camera. Your image inspired me to try this object.

    Yours is a little bit too noisy, I think. 90 min integration time is too few for such a faint nebula.
