Imaging Mars Occultation?
In the unlikely event of clear skies on February 18th, I’ll be in Eastern Washington on a hill to observe/image the Mars occultation emergence just before 5:00 am. I’ll be using a 130GTX with QuadTCC

Trouble with Direct Ehterent to GTOCP4
I tried 2 cables with the same results. I’m wondering if it’s the DNS or other Ethrrnet settings on computer or CP4?

Trouble with Direct Ehterent to GTOCP4
I got a new Eagle Computer and used a direct ethernet connection to my GTOCP4. This type of connection has worked before. When I boot up the computer and then start the GTOCP4 (what I've done before),

Dan, right now the scope is covered up and the camera put away due to the Seattle rains, but I will take a shot when the weather clears. Probably May? :-)

Amazing image John! I aspire to that quality. I did do moderate dithering with this image and it does help. I'm been in fairly frequent contact with the engineers at FLI, they are working at improveme

Yes Dan it does. Thanks. I have a PP adapter and when the QuadTCC is threaded in, the end is flush with the end of the adapter. I too just ordered some more spacers. Do you recall how many you needed?

AP130GTX - Dew Spot on Internal Surface
It appears there's the residue of a dime-size dew spot on the inside surface of my objective, I'd guess the rear of the first element. It didn't appear until this evening when just starting imaging. I

Oval stars in corners with QuadTCC/130GTX
Right Peter, but the oval and comet shaped stars on the ASI weren’t just near the edge or corners. They went from the worst upper left then better to lower right. I think spacing is off too. Gonna get

Oval stars in corners with QuadTCC/130GTX
Ran again last night with my QSI camera and Stars very round across the field. So definitely related to the ASI. Looks like I’ll need to get a tilt corrector, as I really like the camera.
