#

@neat haven

#

I think you might be a bit out of focus

neat haven Mar 16, 2024, 1:51 PM

#

It’s possible

limpid elbow Mar 16, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

#

The stars are quite large and seeing doesn't affect them THAT much

#

Yeah it's hard to tell but you are a bit out of focus

neat haven Mar 16, 2024, 1:52 PM

#

Hmmm my focus seemed pretty decent. It could have slipped when the temps dropped

Still

#

It could be worse

I have that problem when using my scopes on my roof. The ambient temp from the structure holds longer and after about 1.5-2hr into the session I have to refocus due to temps.

advanced sequencer (nina) + auto focuser is what you are looking for

limpid peak Mar 16, 2024, 4:06 PM

i don't have a focuser kit 😂

limpid peak Mar 16, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

i live on the 2nd floor of a building, and the business below has more floor space than i do. i walk out of a door beside my kitchen and have access to their flat roof. there's a fire escape there, but i just set up my scopes (all but the RC8) on the roof.

#

if i go downstairs to the side yard, too much of the sky is obstructed 😦
