OMG moment Astro Physics Mach 2 GTO loses its mind
While not having used my gear for a while, I was looking forward to the holidays when I could start imaging and tuning the mount. I found this from the security camera at 2023-12-21 23:51.
For context, my gear remains on and parked and has been for months. Not sure what caused this, although when I rebooted the mini-pc it was in the midst of a Windows update!
Doesn’t look like there is any damage, but nothing recorded in the logs!

Ep 049 - 22 degree Halo Moon
มุมมอง 3344 ปีที่แล้ว
Last night, we had a 22° halo moon. I recorded this with both my All Sky Cameras (in the same enclosure to test them side by side), one with a dedicated Astronomy Camera (the ZWO ASI120MC-S which sells for about AUD$300) and the second, the "new" Raspberry Pi HQ Camera (which is about AUD$100). If you want to check out my live camera images, they are below: ZWO ASI120MC-S - allskycam.turbotalks...
Ep 048 - Disassembly and Cleaning of 80ED Telescope
มุมมอง 9K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows the disassembly of a Saxon 80ED refractor. This is a doublet (two lenses). This is a pretty simple process, but you really need to be careful to avoid leaving dust behind, and you want to be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the lenses.

Ep 046 - Deforking the Meade 10inch LX200GPS SCT
มุมมอง 7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Due to the problems I was having with guiding my Meade LX200GPS 10" telescope last year, I switched over to my EQ6 Pro mount in order to still be able to image while I worked on trying to repair/diagnose the issue. In the end, I spent the last 4-5 months imaging at a short focal length of around 480mm, but a lot of those targets are gone this season, and now it's galaxy season, which will benef...
Ep 045 - 3D Printing - AllSkyCam Gasket - make your own silicon gaskets and o-rings
มุมมอง 9494 ปีที่แล้ว
I wanted to make a silicon gasket for my AllSkyCam dome, rather than silicon around the dome each time I wanted to remove/replace/clean it. With a bit of 3d-printing, I made a mould (or mold if you're american) and cured some silicon in it. Worked pretty nicely. Won't know how it performs in the real world for a while until the next time I pull apart the AllSkyCam though. My 3D Printer only has...
Ep 044 - 3D Printing - Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Altitude Adjuster and Polar Scope Dust Cap
มุมมอง 1964 ปีที่แล้ว
I purchased a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Kit secondhand in order to do long exposure wide-field DSLR wilky way shots and time lapse sequences. However, the Altitude Adjuster and Polar Scope Dust Cap were missing, so with no easy way to get replacement parts, I decided to print my own.

Ep 043 - 3D Printing - Losmandy Socket Head Screw Cap
มุมมอง 1984 ปีที่แล้ว
I struggled to find a replacement screw cap to suit my Losmandy saddle plate assembly. I've got a few more of these kinds of things I've printed as well, which I'll discuss in some upcoming videos. Although kind of slow and painful, the 3D printer has proven to be a way to solve problems I otherwise wouldn't have been able to.

Ep 042 - AllSkyCam - The Moon, Milky Way, Jupiter & Saturn all in one timelapse
มุมมอง 2124 ปีที่แล้ว
A few nights ago, after installing a new 1.55mm fisheye lens in the AllSkyCamera, I got lucky and had a completely clear night (but no telescope operational), and thankfully, was dew free. The result was a pretty clear timelapse.
