Hi Sander- The irony to me is that this combines most of the elements of MetaGuide: low latency video rate centroiding plus OAG and 1:1 guide/image focal...

I guess Satan likes small, round stars. If so, I'm with him. I think Satan would also say, a lot of it is in the technique, and technique has evolved...
Hi all, I just installed an Orion ShortTube 80A on my CPC1100 to use with the Orion Autoguider. Am having a weird problem, I cannot bring the ShortTube into...
My undertanding of AO devices is that this is a very generic term. In very large reflectors it can even refer to rapid adjustments to multisegmented...
You obviously need to be closer,or further away from where you (expected) to be in focus.. If you set the 80mm scope up inside...try looking at a distant tree...
... Assuming you got the version Orion sells without a star diagonal and other accessories, you need to put a 1-1/4" eyepiece extension tube like the Orion...
Hi all, Tonight was my first use of the Orion Autoguider on my CPC1100; installed an Orion SHortTuve 80A to use as a guidescope. Thought I was doing someting...
HI Luis, Good to hear that you are having good luck with the Orion SSAG too. Your photo looks like you may have dew on the scope or the camera. Floyd...

Don't forget about the Lumicon NEG OAG: http://www.lumicon.com/astronomy-accessories.php?cid=8&cn=Easy%20Guider%20Systems this is a very low profile OAG, and...

Ah, got it. Thanks. I am going back to the basics and thoroughly clean the CCD lens, the reducer (the scope front lens is spotless), and use a dew shield (and...
Hi Frank, it's true that for AO to work you need similar guide sensitivity as for MetaGuide with an OAG. Same planning and everything. The difference is that...
I have bought a Canon Rebel XSi/450D hoping to do some astro imaging with this scope but would be grateful for some advice on what set up to use for...
The new model Meade 0.63 reducer needs a 44 or 45 mm spacing between the lens and the focal plane of the camera. A t ring puts the focal plane of a dSLR 55 mm...
I have a newer Gemini (6 pin DIN connectors) running a G11. I'm interested in the new SBIG ST8300 camera which has no autoguider interface. Currently, I use...
Hi Stu, Well, I used that configuration for a while. There are two ways you can do it. 1) Use DSI with USB to the laptop, a guide program like PHD and use a...
Thanks Floyd, the #1 configuration has been recommended by others...looks like the way to go. Stu ... From: bakersfieldbiker To: autoguiding@yahoogroups.com ...
I am looking for an automated way to dither... Just downloaded Nebulosity,but it is not so simple to do long exposures with Canon 1000D...(!!!) I use the SSAG...
Dave, You can dither from Nebulosity. You connect to PHD from the "view" menu and link to PHD from there. Then select how long you want to dither. Frank...
Don't forget to enable the 'server' mode in PHD if it's not on by default. In my experience the dither is too small to be useful but hopefully it works better...
Sander Can you comment more on your dither experience...? You tried it in Neb and it did not help? You use another dither procedure? You do/do not dither? I am...
Dave, as I wrote "it's not worth the trouble", so no, I do not dither. I may do a manual dither in upcoming projects where I take 2 or more sequences of...
