The temperature sensor is particularly useful for deep-sky imaging, as it allows for automatic refocusing when the temperature changes throughout the night. Since temperature shifts can cause slight changes in the telescope's focus, using the sensor ensures sharper images over long sessions. However, I personally do not use the temperature sensor with my focuser.

@@AstroCreation I bought one today without a temp sensor. Can you buy it separately or should I try and cancel and reorder?

From AliExpress

@citylimitsphoto I personally wouldn’t worry about it.

It should be a good camera for guiding!

Hi there! Honestly, I’ve never used SGPro, so I’m not sure I can assist you with this software; however, this happens in NINA when it finishes sequence of taking flat frames. If you take a picture with flat panel on, the app might recognize it as “the end of taking flat frames sequence” and open the cover then

Using the “Drizzle” option can slightly increase image size, but this camera isn’t about resolution; it’s designed specifically for high-focal-length Ha solar imaging. Its larger pixels capture varying brightness without saturation and maintain a good FPS rate, which is essential for capturing sharp, dynamic solar details. Meanwhile, in some cases IMX174 sensor would be more suitable, and it has a bit higher resolution.

@AstroCreation I see. Thanks.

It doesn't. It's better to get one for planetary imaging

@ So you don’t need a uv/ir cut filter for deep sky?

@@earthling-fh2mg it depends. Generally, you still need a UV/IR cut filter for deep-sky imaging since this sensor is sensitive to infrared light, which can lead to bloated stars. UV/IR cut filter would make your stars looking nicer.

It might be a good camera for deep sky objects; however, there are more brands now that use the same sensor with a cooled camera that is much better for deep sky imaging.

@AstroCreation thanks 👍

I've only used Pegasus PowerBox v1 (installed on my second deep sky imaging rig) and Pegasus Mini (installed on 10" SCT that is on the background in the video). I think it's incorrect to compare them to Wanderer Pro V3 since the last one has many more features. I believe the closest competitor to Pro V3 would be Pegasus Ultimate V3, but I cannot tell which one is better since I haven't used Ultimate version. Talking about "keeping the voltage" for Pro V3, I haven't faced any issues with the power supply / distribution, and I do a lot of imaging considering the amount of clear nights I have. For example, I got a little over 120 hours of exposure time on different targets over October, and all the aspects of the box were running smoothly.

@@AstroCreation ok and the voltages? Did you check to see if it holds/maintains voltage required for example the zwo AM mounts which are finicky?

@@johnsmith-rd9rr I haven't tested it with AM mount since I don't have it, but I haven't experienced any issues with the voltages drops during the imaging session with my equipment.

I got the cable on Amazon. Here is the link to the one I use: amzn.to/40CkgOb I also have an angled USB-C to USB-C adapter used here.

Im in the same boat. I think he's using the cables that came with the box. I custom made a couple cables for my mele's usb c power input. MOST usb cables include that power limiting feature which is why they cant be used in this scenario.

@@johnsmith-rd9rr I got the cable for mini PC on Amazon. The link to the one I have was posted above.

Hey there! Thank you for sharing! What kind of problems did you have with the box? I want to see if I can repeat what you experienced.

and which power box? they have 2, 3 versions.

@@johnsmith-rd9rr I mentioned V3 in my comment... :)

@@AstroCreation For my setup I had the powerbox connected to one USB port on the MiniPC, and the mount connected to the other USB port. I found the powerbox was causing the mount to regularly disconnect, and required it to be re-connected. This meant that guiding stopped working. I also found that sometimes the Pegasus Unity software didnt recognize it, and needed some time to 'find it'. Things seemed to work better when the mount was connected to the powerbox, but that doesnt really work for my setup as I have the PC mounted to the pier, and I dont want to have a USB cord coming from the Powerbox mounted on the telescope back down and causing potential cable snags.

@@Fat-totoro-cat thank you for mentioning that you mentioned it

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response! I would ask a question in Gemini Facebook group (link in the description to this video). I'm sure you'll find an answer there if you haven't already.

@AstroCreation dont be sorry, have solved the problem by myself, I wasnt use the ascom driver correctly :p Now he work fine and steady !

@Photonographe glad to hear it!

Do you use guiding?

Chek out this video: ruclips.net/video/f5z2Eg1HZt8/видео.html At 2:30 I cover this topic

I’ve tried, and it didn’t work well. I couldn’t achieve a proper back focus with it

There is no banding on my latest images with this camera. I’m currently in a middle with a deep sky project and SV605MC. Frames look good with no banding

@@AstroCreation Thank you so much for your confirmation. I'm buying it. :D

Thank you for the comment! As of now, it is possible to control dew heater in NINA! I shared your comment with Wanderer Astro, and they responded that it is possible now. You can check out the manual with details. Basically you need to install a plug in in NINA that will be used to send commands to the flat panel. It can be setted up in advanced sequencer!

@@AstroCreation Oh wow, that's wild! Thanks for checking. I'll give it a try this weekend. I'm embarrassed to say I skipped over the latter half of the manual after setting up the open/close positions :(

Thanks! The idea is to be careful with solar astrophotography in general.

Ah, I see

Sorry for the late response! It is true. Once you install electronic focuser (any brand), you won't be able to use it manually.

Thanks! What email address did you use? I don’t see any emails

@@AstroCreation just sent it !

@@AstroCreation Hi George, I used the gmail address given on your RUclips home page, Cheers, Fox

Thanks! It is not :)

Check out the description

If I'm correct, it is this one: Simpson Strong-Tie 7-in 20-Gauge Galvanized Steel Tie Plate. I just quickly googled it

YES PLEASE!!!

Thanks! I attached a pressure tuned one. I use UV/IR cut filter in front of the etalon as an ERF. I'll possibly make a video about this solar mod since a couple more people reached out about it too

Hello, Bart! Thank you for your comment! I actually started with 3X Barlow Lens (SvBony SC213) once I finished my mod (you can see it it in some clips). 2x + ADC is a part of experiments and learning more about solar astrophotography. I might end up with an achromat telescope for that since I want to go back to deep sky imaging with 122mm APO Thanks for the advice about a cooler from Amazon. I'll check it out!

As I am aware - no; however, you can get a bracket from a different brand

I would mostly use FireCapture, but SharpCap recenly started working better than it had been.

@@AstroCreation my 705c arrived and saw the first light yesterday. Works much better than 305c. The problem is that achieving a good focus with sct 6se is a bit of a challenge, and as my other rig is asiair-centered, I need to build a decent software suite to serve my Celestron. Challenges are everywhere :) Cheers!

I cannot tell if it works with ASIAIR or not... My guess that it shouldn't.

You can track them... you are so frightened of information, i feel looking through a telescope pointed at saturn would terrify you.

@@sebastianfischer2082 How tha fuk is Saturn magically sitting still in the sky long enough for you to make it out to be a planet & not just a Star if it's supposedly constantly orbiting the Sun? 🤣🤣🤣

@@tonyflatearther dude just look up at and it'll make a little more sense, they do move but we do not percieve them as zipping around the sun from our distance to them as it does take 30 years for saturn to make its way around the sun. If you look up at it you'll notice that an hour later it has moved but it's more than easy to get a good view with a lense, to take photos like this depending on how long they take photos for the telescope will track along with the movement.

Hello, Andy! I haven't tried it in the advanced sequencer yet primarily because I hadn't switched to it yet. I'll try it myself and see if it works or not.

Okay let me know. I’ve gone a week with it and it has not closed at the end of my sequence.

Update: I have resolved the issue. The “Close flat panel” instruction in NINA cannot run in parallel with other instructions. It needs to be a standalone global instruction. I have tested a few times and everything now works as it should.

Hey Paul! Thank you for the comment! === I have some questions: is it possible to mount the flat panel on the bottom side of the telescopes dew cap instead on the top? === - Yes, it is possible; however, I would pay attention to bigger size panels. My guess is that the flat panel might not fully cover the lens due to the different weight distribution if it makes sense. === Isn't it possible in NINA to automatically control the brightness of the panel in the flat wizard? === - Yes, you can choose "dynamic brightness" mode in NINA and basically set desired exposure time you want to use for your flats. NINA will determine the required brightness then. === Is there an INDI driver available fo the Wanderer Astro Flat Panel? === - As I am aware, there is no INDI driver for this panel. === Is it possible to manually open, close, switch on/off, dimm the flat panel e.g. via buttons, if you don't use a computer? === - The flat panel doesn't have a hand controller to do so.

Thanks! I should've done that, indeed!

It might be an option for visual and your balancing has to be much better than perfect. I'm currently experimenting with my 10" SCT and EQ6-R Pro. I've even tried some deep sky astrophotography with it.

Sorry for the late response! What rotation are you talking about?

@@AstroCreation Sorry, i missread you :)

Thanks!
