Your total RMS error should be less than your system's resolution. Also you should try to keep your RA and DEC RMS errors as equal as possible. Otherwise you may still get elongated stars, even if your total RMS is less than your resolution.
Hi there, during the last two weeks I put together a mobile rig to work with some students from my wifes school. This setup should be used to explain the basic steps of doing astro photography and hopefully attract some young people for the beauty of...
Backfocus affects guiding accuracy; adapter may need adjustment.
Hi guys! I have tilt on my asi 2600 mc pro! I've been trying to fix but i get confused quickly with what i'm looking at! i use hocus focus in NINA for this and it gives me a very good analysis but looking at an image on my screen confuses me ...
Camera tilt causes guiding errors; hocus focus helps diagnose.
Hi guys. I own a 2600mc pro which came straight from zwo with tilt on the sensor. It is my first astronomy camera and i don’t have any other to compare with. Its quite noticeable and i dont seem to be able to fix it and it is something that bothers m...
Sensor tilt directly impacts guiding accuracy and alignment.
I am doing a competition with 1 second exposures, and am still learning about the Gain settings. I typically run 100 as the recommended setting for my longer exposures. I somewhat understand if the gain is adjusted from 100, it impacts the dynamic ra...
Gain settings affect image quality and guiding performance.
