I just found this website and been looking at how to enhance the Revolution I recently purchased - looking for tricks, tips, short-cuts software controls just like everyone else.
The Revolution is mounted on a Celestron C8 alt/az GOTO with several focal reducer options (6.3 / 3.3 and a couple of 0.5X's - I don't use them all at once but have daisy chained a couple to see the effects though).
Trying to branch out into DSO's. Although we have been tripping over the moon craters for sometime now it has been difficult to figure out how to get clear Jupiter and Mars frames (no reducers) and now my son thinks we should be hunting down Globbers - but so far no luck. I'm getting an auto-focuser to improve my focusing skills (really hard to get good focus when the scope's image is shaking so much) and I have yet to master the eyepiece-camera-switch-out smoothly
Any help always appreciated. The live aspect of the video is intoxicating and the family has little desire to sit at the computer to watch dad play with video processing software.
Thanks in advance and hope everyone has a great clear sky weekend.
