Liking it very much at present! Running two scopes and two Cameras at M30 to get the hang of the software!

Scope on left is WO 110 FLT using Moonlight focuser into an Astro modded 40D, scope on right is Carbon fibre C9.25" into astro modded 40D. PHD has RMS of +/- 0.8 at 0.44 arc/seconds per pixel (mind you I think on the Meade DSI II Pro I binned at 3*3 so is that 0.44 arc seconds / pixel * 3 * 0.8 to get the average tracking performance or is it just .8 * .44 which approximates to +/- 0.34 arc seconds or is it +/- 1 arc second?)

Thanks Guylain!

Very cool ill upgrade when I get my dslr fixed..

But what is going on with your guiding graph????:eyepop: lol

[g__day]

Seeing - my imaging scale is 0.44 arc seconds per pixel so RMS of 0.8 is about 0.34 arc seconds. The shots out to 20 minutes look like perfectly round stars; just the fun of imaging and guiding a 2.3 metre focal lenght scope into small pixels at f10!

Anyone else having trouble downloading v3 from http://www.binaryrivers.com/ ? I'm hoping it's an intermittent net issue at my end, but the site doesn't even resolve for me.

Downloaded just then for me again - took about a minute from http://www.binaryrivers.com/download.aspx

the sad fact is i cannot find my V2 email key - i am snookered and cant upgrade.

[lazjen]

Thankfully, no problems this afternoon. Must have been a transient network issue.

[guyroch]

I did have issues with the site for a brief moment, it lasted about 1 hour. It should be all fine now.

Thank you

leaving tomorrow so i just bought a whole new premium version (about 30 min ago) so waiting for my licence key for that (running two laptops). I cant remember which laptop i loaded v2 onto and hence the key for that but i will find it soon (astrofest) and upgrade that licence after. I know i did it (v2) you might have the info on that in your records of licences?

[lazjen]

Ha! Just my luck I must have been trying during that time. :)

Went to the BEOS website yesterday to see if there were any updates and cool...a new version!

Downloaded and updated to the Premier edition and it looks great. Only did a bench test with the 450D but worked well. Can't wait to try it out in the field...IF ONLY THESE CLOUDS WOULD GO AWAY. LOL

Version 2.x was fantastic, so ver 3 should be fantasticer.

Cheers for a great product.

Used it last night to drive two cameras and two focusers simultaneously - worked perfectly!

[guyroch]

Awesome Matthew :2thumbs:

Posted a longer post to the Yahoo Group Guylain - was a very satisfying experience. Re camera control there are not many improvements I can think off now - and most would be cosmetic!

Cheers,

Matthew
