DSLR focus
I'm about to try it out ( when The skies clear!).
Just purchased a 350D and built the parallel and serial cables ( the serial seems to work fine but the parallel for some reason looks a bit iffy)
I've got a TV systems EQ mount converted to Autostar ( DS motors etc) and use AstroPlanner/ TheSkyV6 etc. I'm hoping to be able to set it up to assist in getting autoguiding ( using a Mod webcam and/or ST4) for my new MkII spectroscope. It would be great to be able to set up a few stars for recording and have the telescope automated to pull the spectra ( I'll need exposures of up to 30min total per star!!!!)
Also re-buildng my 18" to a lighter Porter Split ring mounting ( should only weigh 40Kg all up!!) a bit easier than the dobbie, but still using Bartel drives.
Keep you guys posted.
