hehehe I utilize the 2 PC method. that is i go out set the mount up get it focused because i don't have a motor on my focuser at this point in time and soon as i can press a button to make it go backwards and forwards
im set.
I utilize a wireless 11g connection between the PC's and a remote desktop viewer that i can sit inside and do what i want to and just keep a eye on guiding and what not. though DC3- Dream does a web based html controller that you can do the same thing with and make lists of objects for it to attack without coding bucket loads of yuk. it takes a few minutes of my time to get everything buzzing then i leave it to its own devices. Maxim dl 5 has the ability to stack imaging runs and save as CR2 files. so i just put in my 10 min iso 800 CR2 * 6, 2 min iso 800 CR2 * 6 ect ect. and hazzar
simple easy no cost as 99% of people have a desktop at home and a laptop anyhow!
My level of remote control gives me guiding, mount, planetarium, camera control, only thing missing is focusing! now all i have to do is get one of my mates in the mechatronics dept to sort me out with a motor that has USB control.!
Yep the moon was around but set realitively early so the skies out at Madora bay are nice and dark and Ravenswood will be even darker yay LP filters will work well!
