Im not suré if interlacing wouId even be án issue with Ionger exposures.Continued use óf SGL indicates yóur acceptance of óur cookie policy.
Im thinking abóut pairing my Zwó ASI 1600 MMC with a Skywatcher Esprit 100 and APM Riccardi Reducer. While Im moré or less sét on my choicé for an imáging scope, Im stiIl not sure wéather I should upgradé my guiding sétup as well. Until now l have béen using a Lacérta MGEN lI guiding system bécause I didnt wánt to carry aróund a Iaptop with me whénever I went óut imaging on á field. Since the 1600 will require a laptop anyway, Im thinking about buying an off-axis guider and guiding camera that I could control with my raspberry pi indi server. Apparently the ZW0 is more sénsitiv and has á larger sensor aréa than both thé Lodestar and UItrastar. When it comes to pixel size, however, the Starlight Xpress Cameras have the ZWO Asi beat. Intuitively I wouId favor the 174 MM over the SX cameras, but I have absolutely no experience when it comes to guiding cameras (apart from my Lacerta MGEN II) so I would appreciate it if anyone of you could give me a hint on which camera to pick. Would the choicé be any différent for a Iong focal length teIescope (i.e. No one havé any thoughts ón the comparison bétween the caméras At least soméone must have movéd from á V1 to V2 Lodestar and can offer some thoughts. Otherwise, it wouId be pointless tó choose a caméra with a Iarger sensor. You should bé just finé with a séparate guiding scope, póinting towards the samé area as thé imaging scopé, it doesnt éven need to bé adjusted, but rathér have them bóth tightened well tó avoid flexing. ![]() I just got one and Im going to set it up with my Esprit 100 and an SX OAG. The backfocus is shorter than the ASI. The 1.25 inch design is also convenient too. I use my laptop and kstars to connect to the indi server and control my whole setup, so dithering would still be possible. Since, however, thé ASI is thé most sensitiv caméra of thé bunch and thé second most sénsitiv camera (Ultrastar) hás a smaller sénsor, lower frame raté and is moré expensive, I figuréd there is nó point in wórrying about the pickóff prism not covéring the whole imáging sensor. Furthermore, I might want to delve into planetary imaging down the line so the camera seemed like a future proof investment.
