![]() ![]() By using 'guifocuschanged', you don't have to use process which runs every frame. Which is you need a Control in the scene tree to use getfocusowner. From what I understand from reading, this is the first of a lot of little challenges in astrophotography. By the way, if you have a look at the source code for getfocusowner, the code has the Control ask the Viewport it is in for the focus owner. I really thought I'd be posting my first images this morning, but oh well. OR, would I be better off getting a tele-extender an imaging without the diagonal? Here's my question: If I used a 1.25" diagonal, would that help? They're smaller and it might allow the inward travel I need to reach focus. I also tend not to use my 2" eyepieces that often. It seems like in that case I need more outward travel, but its hard to tell because it doesn't get close.įor simplicity's sake, I'd rather image through the diagonal to start since that's how I view visually. That is the point the cameras sensor must be located. But, if I just take the diagonal off I cannot get even close to focus. Thats where Jupiter, the moon or a distant telephone pole will come to a sharp focus (smallest). It seems like I need another 1/8 inch or so. AstroImager is a front end for imaging and auxiliary devices INDIGO agents. Thus you can take long exposures and get nice wide field shots of. If I put the camera on the diagonal, I don't have QUITE enough inward focus range to reach focus. The trick is achieving good focus, particularly since typical autofocus lenses will. The Scope came with a 2" diagonal (Orion branded product). Orion SVP mount (older with the dual tracking motors) I've just put together an odds-and-ends imaging set up with used gear.

Within the AstroImager main window, via intuitive drop down menus, you get to select the camera.

Celestron Focus Motor Bulletinīrass, 1:1 gear ratio, 38mm diameter, 45 teeth To use third-party focuser control software, an ASCOM driver is needed. ![]() The Celestron PWI software can also control the focus motor. You may also opt to use an external 12V DC power source which plugs into the motor’s power jack.Ĭelestron offers a free Focuser Utility program for computer control.You will need a user supplied USB A-to-B cable. If you are not using a Celestron mount, you can power and control the focus motor from a computer USB port.This allows control from the mount’s hand controller (NexStar+ or StarSense) or a computer. When using a Celestron computerized mount, you can power and control the focus motor through the mount using the supplied AUX cable.Most of the time I think people get frustrated with the. There are three options for powering your Celestron Focus Motor: Deconvolution is one of the most confusing and poorly understood algorithms in all of image processing. It is compatible with all EdgeHD optical tubes, the 8” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA), the 36cm RASA, and the 7” Maksutov-Cassegrain. It can also be used with the 11” RASA, but requires the Focuser Retrofit Kit for RASA 11. It is not compatible with 5” SCTs or older models. The focus motor is compatible with all SCTs from 6” to 14” in aperture that have been produced since the year 2006. As an added bonus, port covers protect the ports while not in use, and the covers cannot be lost due to the tethered design. Combined with computerized control of the mount and camera, the focus motor enables the imager to gather data remotely from a backyard observatory, or even a telescope located hundreds of miles away. With a motorized focuser installed, an astroimager no longer needs to be physically near the telescope to focus an image. A focus motor is great for visual observers who want to dial in exact focus (especially those with dexterity issues) and a must-have accessory for astroimagers. With the focus motor installed, you can bring celestial objects into sharp, precise focus using your telescope’s hand controller or a computer instead of using the focuser knob. The Celestron Focus Motor for SCT & EdgeHD provides electronic focusing for Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) and EdgeHD telescope optical tubes.
