NGC 7331 and Beyond NGC 7331 (also known as Caldwell 30) is a spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years (12 Mpc) away in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1784.NGC 7331 is the brightest member of the NGC 7331 Group of galaxies. The galaxy is similar in size and structure to the galaxy we inhabit, and is often referred to as "the Milky Way's twin", although recent discoveries regarding the structure of the Milky Way may call this similarity into doubt.

Woow interesting!! something is changing with the ASA Users in the worldwide! Luis www.astrosirius.org http://www.flickr.com/photos/llromero/

Hello, I am living in Barcelona-Spain, I have no idea about Wiki and I am also busy at work, but If I can help to contribute my grain of sand, I will do it, because I have suffered a little during my setup with the ASA mount, I really have to say thank you to Antonio, without his help I couldn't have put my mount running, due to the lack of documentation. I still don't understand many issues of sequence and I hope with this encounter can be a help to all of us to transfer the knownledge. Best regards Luis http://www.flickr.com/photos/llromero/

Maybe can help to open a YahooGroup to share and gather all the inputs from users ASA, including all the documentation. Well is just an idea, but as luke said any updated from ASA will be trouble. The trouble is, who can be the administrator! Luis https://www.flickr.com/photos/llromero/

Hi Another option in case that you don't have a GPS is to install this kind of softwares, in my computer works perfectly with Windows 7 32 bits. http://www.flexiblesoft.com/time-synchronization/absolute-time-corrector.html Clear Skies Luis.

Hello Dave, Try to use this device, and you will forget forever the problems with the USB connectivity with the ASA http://www.silexeurope.com/en/home/products/usb-device-servers/sx-ds-3000wan.html I had a lot of problems at the beginning even I bought an expensive and good USB cable, but finally I installed two Silex SX-DS-4000U2 and after 9 months I haven't had any problems anymore. Best regards and good luck. Luis

Thank you Thomas...This is my first image with my new setup after buy the Moravian G3-11000, in fact I am happy with this result. Best regards Luis

Helloooo!! Here i post my las production. The North America Nebulae (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb. Cygnus's Wall is a term for the "Mexico and Central America part" of the North America Nebula. The Cygnus Wall exhibits the most concentrated star formations in the nebula.

Herbig Haro HH 555 IC 5070 Pelican Nebulae HH 555 is the clearest example of a Herbig-Haro object in the Pelican Nebula. In this image detail you can easily see the jet shooting out of the tip of the pillar indicating the presence of an unseen protostar. Moreover there are more irradiated Jets and outflows in the Pelican Nebula as you can see in the image like: HH 563, HH 564, HH 565, HH 566, HH 567 and the HH 568. https://www.flickr.com/photos/llromero/27674216362 Equipment: Mount: ASA DDM85X-SL Telescope: GSO RC14" Truss.

Hi Max, I remember that I had to add weight to remove the jerky motion, finally I added around 4 kg after this, the noise gone. Lluis.

Hello Max, have you done any changes in the equipment? Can you tell me which is it the setup you have now? Best regards Luis Romero.
