Hello everyone,

 

First, I'm not sure I'm in the right place, if not please move to right place.

 

I must be the King of stupid, I feel like it anyway asking this question.

 

NINA Discord,  I go to Discord.com, I log in, I have no NINA icon in the left column.  I search for NINA, can't find it. 

 

It cannot be this hard.   Not my lucky day.

 

What am I doing wrong??

Hi Joe,

I got all the help I needed over at Cuiv's.

Cuiv got me through all the hard times getting NINA working like a well-oiled machine.

 

 

BTW, I downloaded that Discord thing and got bugged every time my computer started.

I finally found it in my Settings>Apps (About halfway down the list)> scroll to D words> find Discord> use the 3 dots> choose to remove. Ahh, peace finally! 

I can't remember getting any help from Discord. But it sure bugged me a lot.

I hate cockroaches that get in my computer.

I appreciate Discord is impenetrable to some of us (certainly me), but it sounds like you're "using it wrong".

 

You don't navigate to the NINA server via the Discover feature. It should be that you're right in it already when you hit that invitation link markalot63 sent above. No?

Got it now.  Somehow this morning it did not work the same way.  I have plenty of Gremlins  that seem to be living with me. You know those big green guys you see on the Muncinex commercials - they bring their suitcases.  Seems as though I have a whole neighborhood of them.

 

Thanks,   Joe

PIEJr,

 

Thank you, I am going to watch that video through and through.  I have been using NINA for almost a year now, basic NINA. Always something new to learn, I may switch to the Advanced sequencer someday.

 

For now, I am going to ask on Discord about native support for my Moravian camera.  I have the ASCOM drivers and it works, just do not understand why I have to force BGGR in the Bayer pattern. An IMX571 chip.  If I have to, I have to. I was hoping the Native drivers might take care of that, I don't know.

dswtan,  PIEJr,

 

Thanks I got my answer, short answer is no.  You can go to Discord and see the whole answer. It was quick, less that five minutes and two people answered. Marc and Dale Ghent.  I mean they were quick to answer, like they seen me typing the question.

 

Thanks again,  Joe

Hi Joe,

I was determined to get NINA working for me and my red headed stepchild Losmandy Mount. So I basically started at the 1st of Cuiv's video's, and worked my way through.

I'd discovered that for me, the videos help me the most because I can be working my way through them, hear something, back up, pause, find the application and stop the video where the part I need to apply is.

I never was able to do that with classroom learning.

 

One of the very hardest parts for me was getting my meridian flip to work. But finally got my limits set, and I guess got lucky in NINA and whoopee! I was even working on Meridian Flips in the daytime and using Stellarium to find a star that was going to cross the meridian. Had a template built to experiment until I got it. IIRC it came back to getting my limits just right. Crazy!

 

Now and then I would refer back to one of Cuiv's videos to see what he found worked for a sticky wicket.

 

I've tried the advanced Sequencer, built some templates in it. Used it.

But for me, and the way I image, the legacy sequencer does the tricks.

I just find a victim to suck the light out of, and a few quick tricks in NINA it's set up.

 

Of course, nights like tonight are a kick in the pants.

It was clear and looked promising. Then by the time it got dark, silly clouds came over.

So, I'm going to go wrap it up for tonight. Going into our typical spring weather pattern here.

Clear days, cloudy nights.
