The NexImage Capture software is AMCap 9.1.9.7
It has auto exposure control and manual control. I'll have another go when the clouds clear using full aperture. I'm only using the 4.5" Newt. The 10" is a Dob although I'm thinking about rebuilding into a lightweight OTA that can be switched between a Dob cradle and the EQ Mount.
What software do you suggest for capture ?
I've also gotten approval to build a small mini ob out the back. Got some ideas about a simple sliding shed on 'rails' that locks around the scope and mount when not in use but pushes back and becomes the support 'office' with PC, power supply etc when I'm out there. It will be inside my fenced concrete slab so protected from most light and wind.
I also noted for the first time fogging on the primary after my imaging run when I took it all back inside. I see another mod coming to the scope with a miniature PC fan blowing across the mirror when required. Find one in any dumped laptop at work. Run at 3.3 volts. Maybe even use the thermosiphon heat exchanger that laptops have on the CPU to provide warmth or cooling.
So many ideas, so many options. Great fun !!
