Hi! I just found out OPT is having a sale on their merchandise. Here is one example. I missed the Christmas sale so I may take advantage of this. Skies are clear again in Southern Utah. https://optcorp.com/collections/zwo-asi-224/products/zwo-asi-224-uncooled-co... Debbie

I get the Meade zoom lenses for the Library Loaner telescope program from OPT. It was always a good price - $65 - about six months ago. Got on the website to order another and was quite surprised to see the price had gone up - a whopping $15 to $80. The similar Celestron zoom eyepiece was the same price. :( However, they always fill my order quickly and I receive it within a few days, no shipping fees.

In August of 2016, our hotel was just up the road from the store. I got to see the showroom and talk with some of the sales people there. On 2018-04-21 17:48, astrodeb@beyondbb.com wrote:

OPT fills almost all my astrophotography needs. I purchased a ZWO camera a couple of years back, the ASI120MC. It’s a great little camera. I have it set up as my guide camera on my imaging setup. Also, I have used it for lunar and planetary imaging. It’s a great little camera for the price. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the ZWO cameras. Dave

Hi Dave, Do you have experience using Firecapture? I'm looking at the tutorials on youtube but I may need some pointers on exposure times and gain settings. My refractor is f/7.5 and the focal length is 900mm. Jupiter comes up later in the evening but I may try the camera on Sirius just to learn how to focus the camera. For the price of an eyepiece I got a pretty nice ZWO CMOS camera. When it gets hot, I may have to drive to Baker Reservoir or Mountain Meadows. Debbie On 2018-04-23 05:05, Dave Gary wrote:

Give it a try. I don't find Firecapture to be super intuitive, but it can be figured out eventually. I mostly take photos with my dslr and APT, so I don't get lots of practice with Firecapture. dave On Wed, Apr 25, 2018 at 11:28 AM, <astrodeb@beyondbb.com> wrote:
