Tyler,

Very nice!!

Which control program are you using? Have you tried LuCam Recorder by Heiko Wilkens? It beats Streampix and the packaged programs hands down IMHO.

Atlas Eq-g Polar alignment scope problem

Posted By Paul Maxson

Joe,

You might try what I do with my non-illuminated polar scope, I take a lo-light red flashlight and point it down the front, it's slightly ackward but gives me just enough light to see what I need to align the scope, plus by tilting the flashlight I can "adjust" the intensity.

I'm interested in hearing this because I plan to buy an EG6 mount for my 100mm Apo in a month or so.

Gradient X Terminator

I just starting using it and I'm quite impressed. It cleaned up an M1 image I have that had huge vignetting so that it really looks acceptable. I definitely plan to buy it.
