        find Define in SPECTROMETRY, 2, what dos the first line mean ( replace the base series “ref1” with  series  “intensity)

    Hi Robin,      My Starlight Xpress Lodestar CCD is a mono, so I can let the end of the spectrum be out of the image, I will try it at 17mm to see what happens, image is what I get in Maxim DL 5 Pro at 23.5mm it is obviously all on the Lodestar CCD chip.

    Robin I think we have got across I have made a unit  to hold the SA200 and my Lodestar CCD so it is just a mater of putting it in the ZS80IIED and all is the same every time all I need to do is focus, from the Grating to CCD Calculator I get 17mm to 30mm I have it set at 23.5mm so the CCD needs to be nearer the SA200, to get image all on screen I have to tern it 45 degrees.

       I have the star analyser and camera chip lined up as you suggest thy are in one unit I put in scoop eyepeas holder so they are set OK but image is to long do I move camera nearer or away from star analyser to shorten image.

    Hi Andy    If it is camera can I get it out or do I put up with it, image was about 45 degrees can it be from altering it.
