I apologize to Central Texas for the clouds and rain.
But this arrived in San Antonio today.



I apologize for teh orientation, but the Forum SW doesn't appear to be reading the image correctly.

Get this for shutter control on your camera with the MGEN and open up dithering too Amazon.com: 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male Stereo Audio Cable Aux Cable - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters): Home Audio & Theater

Thanks. I'll look into one of those though it seems a bit long. I may have a similar cable from my Skywatcher AZ-GTi mount, though that may be a 2.5 to 2.5 cable. Do you have the Mgen? What do you think of it?

I have 5 of them. I wouldn't shoot without one.

"And your stars are round..."

My MGEN carves round stars since 5 years - if I have stars...

Enjoy!

Would be nice to have but its very expensive ;-(

Well NOW you've gone and done it ;-}

Largely because of Pete, I craved one since I was starting, but just couldn't afford the cost.

I could *so* much more easily afford all the struggles I've had with guiding since then. Sigh.

Yeah, it's a bit on the spendy side for an autoguider, but I justify it by saving lots of money on buying used lenses over new. For example I picked up a used 150-450 from KEH a couple of years ago for $1,100. So instead of buying a new one for 2,000 - 2,500 I got it for half. same with my 70-200 and 15-30 and 24-70. so those savings go into my astro gear.

I got it the MGEN 3 for around $650 from 365 Astronomy.
