Thanks for watching!! Please consider subscribing and leaving a comment. I try to answer all the comments I can and don't forget to checkout some of the other content on my channel.
It would be helpful in future videos if you either lowered the resolution of your monitor, or made the text larger through other means. Changing the video settings to watch in a higher resolution helps a little, but the text is still tiny.
Great point Blake, I will keep that in mind moving forward as well. I have a 4k monitor so my resolution is very high. I'll have to remember to change it lower before recording.
Hi, Joe, Enjoyed the entire video, I'm actually considering NINA over Sharpcap, I don't own a guide cam yet but I do have a StandAlone NexGuide camera for now, in the time I get the guide cam do you recomend using NINA? it's just for the Astrocamera, a ASI533MC Pro, and I'm running everything through a Eagle LE because I don't own a Laptop.
Thanks AD! I really like NINA, but I can only recommend to use what you enjoy using. NINA is free so not a big deal to try it out, but I do think you will need a Windows machine to run for now. I think they are working on porting it over to others operating systems though.
Thank you for the video. Will be using this program from now on as i feel sgp is just asking for to much money for there product. You jave earned a subscriber.
Thanks for commenting and the sub. I’m glad you like it. I started out using APT and then moved to NINA and I will probably just continue to use NINA for the foreseeable future.
@@JoesAstrophoto i downloaded the software yesterday and iam in the process of setting up my equipment. I noticed we have the same camera the zwo 1600mm so will be looking forward to more videos on your experience with the program.
Thanks, very well explained, planing on trying out NINA this year 👍👍
Question, I see there is offcourse the possibility to fill in Longitude and latitude, but what about altitude ?
Thanks Siegfried, there is no need to put in altitude in Nina, but of course make sure to put it in EQMOD. The first time you run Nina, even if your coords match it will ask you to match them up. Nina is by far my favorite acquisition software.
@@JoesAstrophoto Thank you
Hi, Awesome video for setting up NINA. I have a couple of quick questions for you. At 8:35 or so you talk about the telescope settings. As I have a DSLR w crop sensor should I also factor that 1.6x modifier in calculating the effective focal length? I have a WOZ61ii(360mm*.8(flattener)*1.6(crop sensor) = 460mm
Thanks for watching and commenting tek, yes, you want to have your effective focal length correct here in order for plate solving to work correctly.
Hey good video. I also jumped on the NINA train, but I have a question. What if I only have one filter on my Radian Raptor filter holder. I have the OPTLong L-extreme Dual - Band filter. Do I add that to the filter tab on NINA?
Thanks Figs, there's no need to add it to the filter tab for focus since you don't have a wheel. One less thing to worry about!
After very accurate PA with EQ mount (connected via EQMOD) in NINA, when I slew to an object, the scope is way off (40+ degrees). Why by so much? Coordinates will be off from then on when slewing to other targets, as Slew and Center does not re-set coordinates to be accurate. Will NINA, when i center and slew, track with the object centered, or track based on the faulty Alt/Az?
Hey deeber, check to make sure that EQMOD thinks you are in the home position. It sounds to me exactly what happens when EQMOD thinks your scope is not where it actually is. You can manually put the scope to home and then reset the DEC and RA in EQMOD and give it a try.
Hello,
Great video. Thank you. How do I calculate the focal ratio using a telescope with f/6.5 and a 0.7 field flattener?
Thanks for watching and commenting! To get any focal ratio you take the focal length and divide it by the aperture then times it by your field flattener/reducer. So you already have your focal ratio of F6.5 now times it by .7 of your flattener and you have 4.55 or F4.6. Hope that helps.
@@JoesAstrophoto Thank you Joe. That’s what I thought but wasn’t sure. I’m enjoying watching your videos. Started with this one. I’m going to watch more next. Thanks again and clear skies. Regards, Pablo
Time for advanced sequencing lol
I plan on starting that soon. I'm undergoing some hardware changes and I'll want that.
