1 Aggravating autoguiding issue – fixed – Superb!
In this post you can read about problems with my guiding set up and how I mangaged to fix these issues in autoguiding with asiair mini, using zip-ties and my cameras L-bracket.
PixInsight is it worth the price?
The reviewer, without any endorsement, shares personal experiences with astral photography upgrades, including the Skywatcher tracker, ASIair mini, and PixInsight software. With the new setup, they achieved better alignment and remote control of their rig. Notable results were captured images of Orion and Andromeda galaxies, and Pleiades, showing significant improvement, particularly after adding auto-guiding.
New Equipment…
In an equipment update, the astrophotographer acquired the ZWO ASIair mini and ZWO 30F4 MiniScope for guiding, awaiting the backordered ZWOASI 120MM MiniGuide Camera. The replacement mount has arrived, prompting anticipation for testing under improved weather. The ASIair’s potential, highlighted by Astrobackyard’s Trevor Jones, is yet to be personally explored, with the compact Mini impressing during initial testing. Excitement builds for its integration with the Nikon Z5 and Tamron 150-600mm lens for enhanced polar alignment
