Update time
There is some news from Swan Reach Imaging. In a month or two we will be putting up two new imaging systems for subscription.
The first up is a 180mm Askar with ZWO2600MC. It gives a lovely wide field of view. It has replaced the FSQ85 system. We have found that ultra wide field is very popular with subscribers. We already have a 200mm system being subscribed but wanted to provide another system for potential subscribers. Rental is $400 AUD per month for individual or group subscription. The system runs on NINA via advanced sequencer. All you do is connect the equipment and set it to run for the night and collect data in the morning.
The second piece of kit is going to be a 16" RCOS with ZWO6200MM and Astrodon filters. It will replace an AG12 system we have currently. We hope to be taking delivery of the scope in a couple of weeks and then by early next year we will have this system available for subscription. This will give any serious imager a great scope to capture galaxies and planetary nebula at very high resolution. Pricing on this system will be a little more than our standard systems. It will be available for $500 per month. Again it will be NINA operated with advanced sequencer.
We will give you training on both systems on how to change the targets you want to image if you have never used NINA before. The way we have set up NINA it will be data mining at its best. If there is a weather abort, it will wait until the abort is over and then when the roof opens again it will go back to work on the first target or if it that is too low it can send the system off to the next target.
But wait that is not all. We still have room to host your system if you have one. Hosting is very cheap at $600 AUD per month for systems up to 16". This fee includes power, internet and servicing of your equipment.
