The moon will be back in a few weeks.Ī moon filter for light reduction will likely appear on my next wish list. On another next good seeing night I hope to try my new bracketed smartphone with targets like Saturn and Jupiter which are in the sky lately.

My Meade autostar allows multi fine levels of object positioning in the eyepiece, but the LED of the autostar device no longer works in terms of providing3 star alignments, star goto's or planetary/star tours of the night sky. Not waiting for a good star/planet see'ing night I tried some terrestrial photography and was encouraged by the ease of use the bracket provided on imaging some leaf photos several hundred feet away. I was so encouraged by the lunar picture that I bought the Meade phone to telescope eyepiece adapter shown below: The idea came from Mike Weasner's ETX site where his collection of Apple iPhone afocal images can be seen.

Inserting the Sac IV install CD and installing the software (later plugging in the Sac IV usb camera) resulted in the familiar 'device driver not installed' message in the device manager list of USB devices. Replacing the motherboard battery and telling the bios to boot with optimized default settings resulted in a good boot to the XP Desktop, a sight I hadn't seen for years. I just happened to have an extra button battery for the XP's motherboard. I tried to boot the XP desktop but got a 'checksum error' on the attempt.

I had tried to install the device driver for the Sac IV (device = 3com homeconnect USB camera) on a Windows 10 laptop in Windows XP compatibility mode but no luck. The Win ME laptop's motherboard died decades ago so is not a goto laptop for the imager. It turns out that the Sav IV imager I own was initially used with a laptop running Windows ME. So.I'd mentioned my adventures and foibles with my Meade ETX 90 telescope coupled to a Sonfest Sac IV imager elsewhere on the forum:
