Starlight Xpress test night

[Sausageman (Mike Boggan)]

I am going to be testing the Starlight Xpress CCD tomorrow night (Friday) on my 10 inch LX200GPS.
Any hints and tips would be appreciated.
The camera was bought via the internet about a year ago from the USA and this will be it's first test run, and my first attempt at Astrophotograpy.
But don't forget it's only a test.
Wish me luck....
If the pics come out I will post them, if not, maybe one of you nice people can process them for me.
I will take a few "darks" as well.
As the weather is so cold at nights here, we should have good conditions for viewing, and no dew at the moment.
I hate the cold, That's why I came to Queensland, but, I have to admit that it's worth putting up with for the clear skies.

I will check for hints and tips tomorrow before I leave for the observatory.

Mike.

Mike...I may have missed your post but I didn't know you purchased a Starlight...what model did you pick up.??????

Tony,
I was one that my mate at SETI bought a while ago from the USA.
We didn't get to use it anyway as it got really windy at Aratula.
I don't know which model it is, but it fits in the scope fine.
I will find out which model and let you know.
All I know about it is that it cost $2500 US. Probably got done.

Mike.
