EPISODE 109 - Collimation Participation!Welcome baaaack to The Astrocast! Roo's been deep in the world of Schmidt-Cassegrains. This week he walks through exactly how he finally got his Celestron C8 collimated...mostly. Using a combination of SharpCap, a bright star, the "donut method", and a cardboard-and-painter's-tape mask.. plus one mystery that's still left to solve. He also covers his growing non-ZWO C8 build (Player One guiding, a Gemini EAF, SVBony power), how a 30ft active USB 3.0 cable let him run the backyard pier straight from his studio PC, a new TeleGizmos 365 cover, and why iOptron's truss-tube RCs belong on the "retirement scope" list. Plus an Astro Peak update and winter targets on deck...hello, Pleiades!Become a member of The Astrocast Society today!🔭 GEAR & LINKS MENTIONEDCollimation & Software• SharpCap (free): https://www.sharpcap.co.uk• N.I.N.A.: https://nighttime-imaging.eu• RustDesk: https://rustdesk.com• Chrome Remote Desktop: https://remotedesktop.google.comThe C8 and other products mentioned:• Celestron EdgeHD 8: https://bit.ly/4jkzGzX• Gemini EAF autofocuser (review): https://scopetrader.com/zwo-eaf-knockoff-gemini-eaf/• SVBony SV241 power box: https://link.amazon/B0d49bD9u• SVBony SV241 Pro (NINA-controllable — runs Roo's Astro Peak rig): https://link.amazon/B06o9NWP3• 30ft active USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cable (w/ 12V barrel jack): https://link.amazon/B0gPwgts5• Waterproof outdoor power box: https://link.amazon/B096Pgf58• TeleGizmos 365 Series Cover (up to 14" SCT): https://bit.ly/4eux0MN• Sky-Watcher SynLink controller: https://bit.ly/4yWse2X• StellarMate OS: https://stellarmate.com• iOptron Photron RC10 Truss: https://bit.ly/4zZ0tXs• iOptron Photron RC14 Truss: https://bit.ly/48m8J8d • iOptron Photron RC12 Truss: https://bit.ly/3UuwdF0• iOptron Photron RC16 Truss: https://bit.ly/4yU7ZCj• Askar SQA55 (Roo's remote scope): https://bit.ly/4s4pAWgThe 14/16 are true "retirement scopes", in my opinion.
