Description

Many things (too many) have changed recently so this session was part of a series of tests.
  • NINA on Windows instead of KStars and Ekos?  I didn't end up missing much.  Still learning.
  • Will a cheap Beelink mini PC handle NINA, PHD2, and Stellarium?  Yes.  Stellarium is iffy but works fine as a remote service.
  • Can I get simultaneous focus with a ZWO guide cam and a DSLR through an off-axis-guider?  It's very fiddly but apparently I can.
  • Will my HEQ5 guide reasonably with the EdgeHD 8 weighing it down?  It's not terrible.  Some shots were tossed and guiding was not always great, but there's room for improvement.  This was a brand new PHD2 profile and guide cam focus was questionable (previous item).
