You’re welcome! It’s an easy fix once you know how. I'm glad you’re able to make it work. 🙏

Greenbrier/ Raleigh Co.

Ok, let me check and see what I can find out. Will be in touch soon

Ok, he asked if you could email him here. 👍 support@picastroapp.com

@@WVAA304 Thanks. i emailed him directly. Regards.

Hey, if you are getting an email it means you’re receiving the OTP. Don’t fill the OTP as your own password. Any other questions let me know.

To each their own bud, but as Tom says clearly in the video, he's working on proper desktop version, as well as tablet version, so No one said anything about phone only... but it's all a plus in my book. Why limit yourself to just a computer?? What Tom has done is created a way to view the high res images on a phone. And it's more so about forming a community/platform to share, boost and communicate directly with other astrophotographers. Reward others rather than just chasing likes and follows, but as i said, to each their own bud. 👍

Tom spent 2 years asking astrophotographers what they wanted bro, and 95% wanted a mobile app.

Hey, great question. 95% of users who visit the Picastro website do so from a mobile phone and around 50% of users already use Astrobin and say the Picastro App is much easier and smoother to use compared to Astrobin. Picastro is much easier to use for all levels of AP and your images are protected so no one can steal them. Give it a go using the discount code. Any other questions, let me know.

@@WVAA304 Totally agree. Picastro is much more of a social platform and users compare it more to a social media platform than a repository for storing images. The people on Picastro love the fact it it’s mobile app and as above states, there is a tablet version coming soon.

Our pleasure!

Sorry about that bud, but your the first one to say this, so going by the 10k other people who have had success, maybe your doing something wrong or something.. if you can point out where your having trouble, I can try and help figure it out man. 👍

Thanks for watching! My pleasure

You will always need a way to check the polar time, so I'm not getting why your upset about it? It takes like 2 seconds to check the polar clock. You can print out the times beforehand as well, so you can use them instead of smartphone, but you will still need to check a paper to see, so 🤷‍♂️

There might be an 800 # you can call too get the exact polar time for your latitude, but again, using a phone to do that as well, so yeah... you have to have a way to check the polar time so you can get an accurate PA

@@WVAA304 "Upset" is a bit strong. "Frustrated with how hard it seems to find this info, after hours of trying" is a more accurate representation of my mental state. I'm pretty sure people were peering through telescopes on equatorial mounts long before we had smartphones. And I want to know how _they_ did it. I don't think that's an unreasonable desire, nor something to be mocked. The reason I want to know is because I don't like following instructions without understanding the mechanism behind it. I want to know how to cook, not how to follow a recipe that tells me exactly which ingredients to add at precisely which time, without understanding what I'm doing. If I know how it works, I can do the math and go through the operations without relying on an app. This means I don't need to worry about running out of phone battery, and I won't ruin my night vision by looking at the bright screen of my phone. If doing the math requires pen and paper, I can do it under red light, which better preserves my night vision. I don't think "it's easier" is a good argument for using an app. It's also easier to simply look at Hubble images on my computer. They'll be more detailed, and I won't have to freeze my arse off under the cold winter skies. Yet, both of us put in the time and effort to take our own lights and calibration frames, stack and post-process them. If convenience was the driving factor, we wouldn't bother, would we?

The SynScan handset for the Skywatcher mount in the video will give you the hour angle of polaris, but you do have to input your location LAT and LONG, your time zone, and the exact time of day. On the other hand, a phone app can get your GPS location and exact time from your phone.

Always! 🙏 thanks for the support! 😃

Thank you! 😊 🙏

Yes, absolutely. It's a great scope! 💯

Hmm. Not sure about that. Probably, but I've never tried to figure that out. But, I've recently switched to Pixinsight, so I'm sure they have a SNR calculator in there somewhere

Thank you for the support! It's always a pleasure and hoping to get in a more consistent uploading schedule very soon! Have big plans coming up for the channel

Oh wow! Yeah it was definitely a unique experience. I might try and catch the 2026 one in Iceland, but I doubt it. 😆

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support! 😃 🙏

Thank you! Appreciate the support! 🙏 😃

Yes it was! Thanks for all your expertise buddy! Was a big help for sure! 👍 🙏

I did already. Check out my FB profile and it's on there. It's part of my askar 120 review. Posting it very soon. 30 day review on the 120, but the image is on my profile if you wanna check it out. Here's the link.

Thanks you so much bro.

Thank you for the support! ❤️ 🙏

Tell me about it, lol. No worries though, it is what it is. I live in one of the cloudiest places on the East coast

Thank you very much!
