I was happy last night, I managed to guide for the first time with the big gun... For a whole 20 minutes before the clouds came in 馃ス

A 200/1000 Newtonian telescope on an equatorial mount, lit by a red light. In front of which is a laptop showing the guiding software phd2 with a camera view showing two galaxies and stars with green markers, one star pointed by two lines. Also different plots around

@corpsmoderne Cool, what are you using for a guidescope? Just interested in the setup.

@smashtie I'm using the finder scope that came with the telescope, a planetary camera and the adapter suited to plug the latter into the former ^^

@schnedan SW? Software? It's phd2.

The focus is controlled manually 馃槉 that is, it's not automated.
