Next step in automation: Camera Rotator?
Ok, so now I have the PME pointing like a legend and guiding equally as nice, my next step is to incorporate a camera rotator so that I can image on both sides of the horizon (unless someone can tell me a fure fire way of rotating my images as well as the calibration frames so that I can use images from one side of the meridian to the other) on the same object.
My questions are:
1. Do I really need a camera rotator? Can calibration frames and images be rotated easily (ie in batches and which program?)
2. If I do need a camera rotator which one will work best on my TSA102? Takometer does not seem to fit this scope.
3. How do I intergrate software so that I can start on one side of the meridian and tell it to stop at say 4 in the morning. Bare in mind that cloud monitors might be talking to this also and influencing everything.
As you can see this is getting a little complicated. My goal is to image from home on any given night. I need to be able to use the camera rotator to fullfill part of this need.
I look forward to your responses.
