ParticipantAgreed, I place it just behind the corrector plate.

ParticipantThanks Jack for the heads-up.
Looks quite comprehensive.
Just ordered it.

ParticipantI use a UPS in my observatory as well.
Mains power feeds in to the UPS. All devices, or your select chosen devices, then connect to the UPS.
It is meant to be on all the time, otherwise it can’t prevent an interruption in the mains power supply.

ParticipantVery nice Robin! Very nice!
Now just drive there and cross-check the speed on the dial to make sure…

ParticipantTo clarify my above point, I get a long error message just when the program opens.
The error is contained in a separate window to the main application.
Also occurs with V0.12 shared above.
Anyone else get it?

ParticipantYes, that works for me now as well. Thanks Nick!
@Maxim: Is there any chance we would get this program to open 8-fits files directly please?
I have a little project in mind involving images from the Global Meteor Network pi camera.
Thanks,
Michael.

ParticipantI can get the program to run now, but when I open an image, only the FITS header loads in the lower panel – the image itself does not load.
I note that the Command Prompt window states the following:

ParticipantIgnore that. Got it going now.
Even though I installed python, it didn’t seem to register properly as a program.
I had to go to the Microsoft store to download and install it from there.
Strange!

ParticipantHi Maxim,
I downloaded the program, extracted it to a directory on my C: drive and installed Python
(I admit to not knowing anything about Python)
However, I’m unclear how to run “pip install -r requirements.txt”
Is that via the command prompt? It just gave an error ‘pip is not recognised…’
Regards,
Michael.

ParticipantNo signal detected on my Gravers radio system.
In fact, it was so quiet at the time, I wondered if Graves was actually active.
A previous fireball in this area generated a very strong signal.
Regards,
Michael.

ParticipantWell done to everyone who captured the event!
Raining here unfortunately.

ParticipantWorks great.
How did you get Spectrum Lab to stream to YouTube?
Michael O’Connell
ParticipantHasn’t been a problem for me Dominic, to be honest.
Have two cameras, both 6mm f0.75 lenses. Both keep their focus.
Out of curiosity, how do you get the Pi to detect the Watec camera?
Michael O’Connell
ParticipantBeautiful capture!
Detected on my radio setup as well – see attached.
Michael.

ParticipantHi Xilman,
Thanks for the offer.
I had some good communication with Jim Garlick re his pi systems, but they don’t quite do what I wanted.
I’m going to investigate another possible solution before I go any further.
Thanks,
Michael.
