Roboscope: worth the cost to build?

Posted By Russ Swaney
Ben,

It would have to be located someplace with 200+ nights of clear skys.

Case Western Reserve has a 36 reflector we considered selling time on, but it's located in northeastern Ohio - last winter/early spring we had over 90 days WITHOUT a clear night!!!!

Let me know if you decide to go forward with this.

Meade DSI Pro rookie question

Posted By Russ Swaney
Doug,

With the F/4.5 you should be able to take 30 second shots and "combine" them in Autostar. You can select 1 or 2 start alignment in the "live" window and the software will do it's best to align each shot.

Sounds VERY interesting. I'm hoping you bring to market.

Would be nice if it worked with Maxim DL.
