T68 is online - PMSchu - 2020-02-03
The iTelescope T68 is now operational. It's an 11" f/2.3 RASC with a one-shot color camera.

Thanks Phil.

I was able to image M81 & M82 with T68 last night. I will post the results when I finish the post-processing. I used ST4i ver 4.0e to create the ACP script.

Hi Phil,
As far as I can tell they have not updated much of their information on the web for T68. If you happen to note the position angle of the camera, please let us know. It is nice to have access to a CMOS camera again. I wasn't done testing!

The Telescope info from T68 says the Imager Position Angle East: Undefined, West: Undefined. Here's one of the JPEGs:[attachment=1021]

I was hoping you could get the PA from the FITS header of one of the images.

Focus looks pretty good.

I'm having trouble unzipping the image files. The big .zip file unzips fine down to the level of the zipped image files, then I have fits trying to unzip the individual image .zip files
. Each image file is ~70MB.How can I read the FITS header? I've never done that.

Nevermind Phil. I can get the info elsewhere.
