That’s great, thanks Paul.
I use The Sky X Pro.
WHen I download the Ephemerides as a data file, the software doesn’t read it.
The only way I could get it to work iss to manually copy/paste the data parameters for each satellite.
Is that what you do, or do you use other software tools?
Thanks,
Michael.I suggest reading this thread on the Solarchat forum before placing a bid:

In particular, the comments from Stephen ‘solarchat’.
The motion of the comet is quite apparent each evening.

0.5 sec exposure with the iPhone this evening from Paxos island, Greece.
Attachments:
Significantly easier to see this evening.
Approx 5 deg long tail.
Easy naked eye target tonight.

I’m not a fan of side by side for balance reasons.
I also don’t like placing a heavy scope on top of a SCT.
The torsion of a heavy scope at top of the SCT combined with the torsion of the SCT on to the mount may be applying quite a strain on the OTA strucure that I wonder does it place pressure on the corrector glass?
I would suggest Parallax rings.
Michael.Hi Kwong
Yes, I used a program called Set’N’c to automate the exposures and allow me to enjoy the eclipse visually.
All details of each photo are outlined on each image page.

Michael.On the HDR image, you will see the double star to the LHS of the Sun.
They are Zeta Piscium A & B, magnitude +5.2 and +6.4 respectively.Below it, you will see 88 Piscium, mag +6.19
To the unaided eye, Venus was visible several minutes before totality.
Jupiter was easy to see once totality started.
Saturn was spotted soon after, and finally Mars.Hi,
Not monitoring purposefully but I like to keep an eye out for anything that might crop up in the background…
A fortuitously placed meteor right next to CrB but no sign of the outburst yet…
Cheers,
Bill.Interesting you mentioning that Bill.
I’m planning to adjust a couple of my GMN cameras a little to bring it in to their FOV for a longer period of time.
I may put a UV/IR rejection over the lens as well to allow some approximation of magnitude.
Michael.I don’t keep a log, but the weather here has been a real disaster. Worst I’ve seen in a long time.
Met Éireann, the Irish met service, had confirmed that we had the wettest March on record, and the wettest July on record. 2023 was also the warmest on record.
