Description

This was my earliest attempt at a twin FSQ106ED set up. At this time I was using a QHY367C as the "MASTER" telescope and a Nikon D810A as a "SLAVE". This was a test run to see if I could handle the complexities of operating two telescope simultaneously on one mount. Things worked our really well and I have since upgraded the D810A to a QHY600M. What I have learned is that if I operate the second telescope as a "SLAVE" I can turn off, autofocus, plate solving, guiding etc.... SGP works perfectly. The only issue with this type of program is you lose the ability to dither. My focus was to shot a lot of subs and good calibration data.
