- I was having wacky issues imaging my latest project using the setup in the normally stable setup in the Happy Frog Observatory. The problem was one of my own doing!

Very interesting video Kurt, I wouldn't have guessed that. Thanks for sharing !
The woodpeckers around your home are doing some serious work I think 🙂
Yeah It did not even cross my mind Siegfried. Those woodpeckers love our neighborhood.
Sometimes the drama is of our own making! Thank you for sharing with us!
I find a good portion of the time these issues are my own doing. Cheers
I feel your pain. Delighted you sorted it out. Keep the videos coming. Cheers, Des
Thanks Des, I keep making them - slowly - but they will come eventually. Cheers
Hey, Kurt. This is a very good message for beginner and experienced imagers alike: Getting to the experienced stage in astrophotography, does not mean all problems have been solved. You'll be solving problems from here on out. Glad you got yours sorted!
Thanks James, I thought it would be useful to know that even the most experienced people have issues from time to time. On the other hand doing something so idiotic as this is very unusual and should not be repeated...Cheers
Never would have guessed that! Glad you got it worked out!
Yeah, not sure how many other people would something so 'nutty' as I did. Cheers
Thanks for sharing the lesson learned. We’ve all been there in our own special way 👍🏼
Hey Thanks Guy. Just wanted bring it up in case there was any else that did something as rediculous as I did.
Yes, keep the videos coming !! I've learned a lot from you and you have a way of keeping things down to a "Normal" level. I'm glad you found the problem and shared it.
I keep all my images on thumb drives and delete them from the hard drive after I processed them. That way I don't fill up the hard drive. It's weird, the different problems that we have with this hobby.. CS
Thanks for the feedback. That is the bets way, delete the stuff when you are done and have a specific backup. I do have that I just kept saving these ones on the hard dirve for some reason. Cheers
Sounds like something I would do. Glad you figured it out.
Ha Ha, Good to know I may not be the only one around to experience this...
The whole rig is a collection of "single points of failure" 🤣
Glad it was something simple. CS!
Yeah that is a good way to put it! 😊.
The joys of Astrophotography my friend.
Yes, it always keeps things interesting.
kurt, thanks for sharing...I'll put that on the list of things to check!
Thanks Richard. Good idea to keep it in the back of your mind....
The trials of astrophotography who would have knew eh, glad you got the issue sorted out now though I do keep the remote pc pretty clear but there's always a Gremlin lurking around the corner.
Thanks, good idea to keep things really clear! Cheers
Thanks Kurt, a good lessons learnt video.
Thanks, that's why post the good things and the bad things. Cheers
Interesting case and solution Kurt. Glad it finally worked out for you! cs
Thanks Tully! I hope never to have this issue again., HaHa...
Great video and advice
Thanks Michael, might be useful to someone else who did what I did...
Kurt......so you are normal? Ha....ha! You make me feel so normal as well!! Love how you have the roll off rails on the inside...mine are on the outside!
Thanks Peeb! Yeah I have seen other ways of using the rollers including just having wheels on the top. Some the methods never occurred to me. Cheers
What USB Hub is that on your scope by your left shoulder?
It is the SkyTech Powered USB Hub, had it for several years now. It was recommened by Pegasus long before they made their advanced Power Boxes.
