Keep it coming. This information is exactly what I need. Thanks

One question. Does this plugging take into acount that the images are not calibrates? I mean. I heard that for a precise ADU star information, we need the images should be calibrates. Thanks

Thanks to share.

I’ve looked at several videos about this and this is by far the clearest.

Saved ~18 hours of subs on NGC7023. Thank you!

Your cutscenes are annoying as $#@@#$ and honestly, makes me want to go to someone else's video. Totally unnecessary. You have great content and you're my goto channel for tutorials, but those cutscenes just ruin your tutorials.

Do you still need to point your mount north or can you point it anywhere?

Are you not making videos anymore ????

Thanks for the great instructions. Regarding the order of filters chosen according to offsets I do have one warning. My filter wheel (and I only know that one so far) can only turn in one direction! Therefore if the filters in the wheel are LRGBSHO and you would shouffle to e.g. R-LB-GH-SO for shortes offsets this would mean 3 whole rotations (marked with -) of the filter wheele which ads up way more time than a little overshoot compensaiton of the eaf.

How do I take calibration frames?

Sky Atlas Image Repository for Nina is missing. Has it been incorporated into a newer Nina build?

Thanks great video much appreciated

Is there anyway to do this with photoshop or siril?

I don't know when you recorded this. My version of Nina is the latest 3 point something, and when specifying the guiding software, in the equipment, there is no "Syncronized PHD2" option. I am not getting synchronized dithering. What could I do?

Dude - this video helped me so much when I first started using the Advanced Sequencer. I'm getting used to it now, but today I had a question about where to put the meridian flip. Yours was the first video I went looking for. So very helpful!!!!

Superb tutorial - and I'm now up and running with my camera streaming to NINA! One minor change now needed: When you're generating the encryption keys, there's been a slight change in the windows command prompt in windows 11. Instead of "ssh-keygen" you now have to enter ssh-keygen -t rsa otherwise you get the wrong kind of encryption key. I miss Chad, and I hope he's alright 😕

Does Dark Customs calculator work if using a manual filter wheel too?

Thanks

Wow! I didn't know that Hocus Focus was so comprehensive and such a useful plugin. Yet another excellent video from Patriot Astro and full of useful information and tips with no 'waffle' you see in so many KZbin videos. I have no doubt I will need to revisit this video several times for all of it to sink in. Many thanks - just need the clouds to clear.

made a small donation, prayers

Somewhat new to this hobby but just purchsed the Mele 4c..works a treat!

hello when you insert the objective in the advanced sequence, are you sure that the telescope goes in that position? to several , after launching the whole sequence that instruction overrides it and does not execute it.

hello I'm trying to learn Nina's Advanced Sequence, but I've seen that when I enter the Basic Sequence Target condition, even though I have the coordinate values, nina doesn't send the telescope to those coordinates, it only works if I enter the slew and center condition, but in this case there are no coordinate values and I have to enter all the data by hand, it seems to me to be standing, do you know how to solve it? Graces It seems strange to me that Nina does not make this important command, to create a completely automatic sequence

Another great video with exactly the info I needed. Thanks!

Why, am I receiving this message The current platform: InvalidPlatform ,Thecurrent platform is not. Supported. Help please?

Chad I hope all is well, Looks like your getting ALOT of rain. I edited my earlier comments when I realized the V2 camera is way to much work (compiling in Linux), so I will just get a V3 camera! Just copy and paste.

Excellent video. Your explanations are extremely good. I wish Stellarium would make it official to add this kind of file and then maybe allow you to edit to the app. Could be amazing with the phone’s sensors

I am just starting out with NINA so this video and sequencer templates will be a great starting point. I have had a few issues with my first attempts at setting up sequences and I am still debugging my whole Dome setup so accessing this information is fantastic!.Thanks, Chad

Is there a way to have NINA stop the image when guiding goes bad due to wind or clouds? Ekos has a way to do this, but I can't figure out how to do this in NINA.

Chad, I will take it as a compliment from you that my movable mount is almost identical to yours! If you would like, I can send you a picture. My question is, you mentioned that you never level the mount with your equitorial mount but just do a polar alignment. Could you please explain that statement or recommend where I can go to learn more about your reasoning? I have been leveling the mount on the tripod once I position in on my lawn but if I don't have to, it would make it easier for me. Thank you for your very helpful videos. mj williams

Thank you a lot for your supportive videos . When I start this plugin it takes almost for ever. It start autofocus 5 minutes later and wait again for each focusing point/ measuring, take a 5 second shot and wait 5 minutes again. It takes me almost 1h for one filter for the first try. I guess this is not normal...any idea why this could happen?

Hi, thanks a lot for your tutorials, are reference for all of us who are starting to become NINA users 🙏 I have a problem to install Hocus Focus on my 3.1 NINA version based on Windows 10 64bits, can you have an idea why? 🤞😉

Great video series. One problem: the WIndows installer from MeLe - despite setting the target as SSD - failed to install the new OS there. Hmmm. The progress of the installer seems to recognize the new 512 GB HDD, however no luck thus far. Second attempt underway. Are there any obvious items to check?

Hi Chad, now I know the reason why you have more than 10k follower, this tutorial is the most important, powerfull and clear I never seen, thanks a lot for your time. I have just a question: in case of multiple targets, if the first one need the meridian flip but the second target is opposite side of pier, the NINA process will be able to mange this particular condition? Ciao ☺ Roberto

Fantastic tutorial!

Where's the video about the histograms?

Thank you for the very helpful guide. I'm def a better visual/tactile learner than by reading an installation page. I do have a few more questions tho (if you have time) -- b/c I already have a few Pi-HQ cams around w/ a 220 degree and a 180 degree lens for them. Idk if 12MP Pi-HQ would look better than a 2-5MP ZWO, which can easily range $200+) - Pi-HQ cam vs ZWO (is one far superior to the other? Even if the ZWO is only 2-5MP) - Is it worth using a Pi5 if I can? (or would the benefit be negligible) - Have you tried a passive cooling case? Any better/worse? - Will leaving it permanently mounted in the sunlight eventually damage the camera's sensor? - Do you add any outside air pathways for the airflow to circulate (maybe w/ a baffle to avoid water getting in)

Hi Chad, I hope things are going well for you. I'm pretty sure your KZbin 'follower' hordes are missing you a lot. On the off chance you still get notices of postings here, I hope you'll indulge a belated question from a new NINA user relating to the Remote Copy Plugging. I just wondered what differentiates Remote Copy from simply selecting your Google Drive (or any other location that shows up as a choice) as the place where NINA places your images as they are captured. I'm pretty sure I must be missing something or the Remote Copy Plugging would not have been developed. It just seems like NINA already allows you to have your captured images placed wherever your imaging computer has access. Best Wishes...Gary

Sept. 2024 - If you have any WYZE cams and use this hack for RTSP use, don't try accessing the cameras via the WYZE app. They are now forcing a firmware update that kills this feature.

You SKIPPED the Focuser, how do you set it up?????

Well, right out of the gate, it doesn't work. I have an EQM-35 Pro mount, it is not listed and I have no idea what driver to use. In my ASIAIR I use EQMOD, but it doesn't work here. Any ideas what I should get, because the EQMOD website is not helpful at all.

I have a newtonian 130 f5. My DSLR only focuses with a barlow lens. Can I platesolve in NINA?

Thanks!

There is one use case, that breaks with a self build battery. If your setup is for travel and you travel by plane, you are limited to 2 x 100Wh you can take with you on a plane. So the self build battery is much too big, but if you travel with another person, you can take 4 x 100wh 12V Powerbanks with you in cabine.

Hi. Great video serie indeed. Just a quick question. Is the Crucial P3 NVMe 1TB disk supported by the Quieter 3q?

Fantastic video Chad. I have been using NINA for several years, simple sequencer, but know have been branching out. Thanks for the simulated cloud example. Cheers Kurt

So, I've got within ~0.00.50 but every 10 seconds it gets worse and worse 0.01.00, 0.02.00 0.03.00 etc. What else do I need to do to keep it still? It does this on my EQM-35 Pro and UMi 17R so I'm thinking it's user error. I've run TPPA a few times in a row. I'm pointing NE above 50 degrees. Polaris is obstructed from neighbors house. My viable sky is NE- S.

This has helped me a lot! Especially because I use to go to dark sites where there is no Internet access at all. Cheers!
