Greeting’s Vito,
Thank you for taking the time to collecting and interpreting the ZWO camera data. Ironically I have, with the exception of a dedicated astro camera the same set up as yourself. Ij h7ave been a visual observer for years but with my recent retirement I have decided to try my hand at astrophotography. I just sent my DSLR out for modification.
My current plan is to mount my C 8 and 80mm APO in tandem horizontally as apposed to piggy back. The Farpoint saddles seem to be the most economical. But I’m purchasing the Prima Luce BIG saddle for the end carrying the Edge. I think I’m good weight capacity wise. I also have a ZWO guide scope, ASI Air Pro ad a Kendrick Zapper.
I’m a MAC user but haven’t found any good substitutes for h processing software. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thank you and clear skies!
Hi John, great to read that someone else makes similar choices and I hope you’ll be getting some nice pictures! Unfortunately, I can’t help you with MAC software as I’m using a windows laptop/pc.
Hello.
Thanks for a lot of useful information. Awesome!
I am at the beginning of my adventure with astrophotography. Only one year.
You have two errors in the ZWO table.
ASI462 … Error in pixel size and noise.
Best Regards from Poland 😉
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll check it out and adjust the info.
Clear skies!
