I gave the RASA a run last night and still sorting things .but actually got to use the EAF working via the hand controller which suited my lay out..next is to work out computer control but I like to play with things manually to get to know a unit. I had it plugged into the laptop but did not have time to look into nto control via laptop.
I ran 30 sec no gain with Lum filter and it seemed ok.
I also did some 15 second subs at 100 gain as for various reasons I want to go the short exposure route..I find it has many advantages ...like a cloud that you cant see degrading a corner..you notice if you have two thirty sec subs but not in a one minute shot..at 15 seconds the effect will produce sharper subs again...at least that is the trip that I am on....of concern is my stars were a little oval perhaps due to focus or tilt or maybe the filter didnt seat..things to keep you active...and I did flats ..the light tablet was far too bright which I expected but my cut up sheets stuff is still waiting to be washed by my carer/ x and finally I used an old dirty sheet..and darks..but stacked it was terrible but I realised I did not look at the histogram..but it probably is something else..I was holding it by hand which is asking for trouble.
Anyays no fighting Dragons in HA as I still have much to do ..I still need to move the filter draw next to the camera...this scope is not a plug and play and selling it without cable management to the camera is like selling a car without a windscreen.
So this scope is all about testing my skills and patience..and photos??? I am beginning to wonder.
Any help with the op will be greatly appreciated.
