I was just in contact with Dave on October 18, at

Hi My name is Tony Calloway and I'm in the process of purchasing a
second hand 15" Obsession telescope. Can anyone advise why I can't
make direct contact either by phone or email with OBSESSION

Re: Problem to Connect Asiair Plus with servocat Gen2
Hello Gary Thanks for the answer, but anyway, even if it works with Meade / 9600 between AN and Asiair I won't have the automatic goto? You will have to press goto on the HandPad Servocat...

Hi Guillaume,
In my previous response, somehow a line of text I had interned to include in the second paragraph ended up at the bottom below the signature.
Quoting myself "You could also try setting the Argo Navis port to run the "meade" protocol at 9600 Baud and configure Asiair to connect to an? LX-200."
If I were to guess, I would say the Asiair developers would have most likely used the Meade protocol for interfacing to the Argo Navis. They already had the Meade protocol in place and it would be easy for them to do it this way because they wouldn't have to write anything new.
Best Regards

Re: Problem to Connect Asiair Plus with servocat Gen2
Bonjour Gary,
In Asiair, I can actually see there is ArgoNavis, I tried to connect Argonavis via serial 2 (Navis / 38400) I connected with a USB RS232 converter between USB2 Asiair and Serial 2 Argonavis, I put Argonavis from planetarium and Asiair don't connect to Argonavis. I've done some research on this but to no avail... Envoyé de mon iPhone

? Bonjour Guillaume,
Firstly, attempting to use the Meade LX-200 protocol with the ServoCAT will not work because the ServoCAT "speaks" "servocat protocol" not "Meade LX-200 protocol".
It's analogous to an entirely different language. :)
Secondly, I think someone recently showed me the Asiair app running and they happened to point out that Argo Navis was listed in their supported devices list. This was news to me but I do not know which of the protocols we support they are referring to and Googling I have not been able to find any documentation that mentions it.
Thirdly, what is it that you are really try to achieve? If you are trying to get Asiair app to remotely perform a GOTO of your mount, none of this will work. It might be possible for it to fill the Argo Navis FROM PLANETARIUM object, you push the GOTO on your ServoCAT handpad and then have it plate solve from there.

Re: Basic telescope question
Hello Richard,
I am not an expert in astrophoto at all but there is something that I don't understand in your question: how do you base backfocus calculation on chip diagonal?. As I understand the way newtonians (or any telescope) produces an image, the image is at the focal point whose distance is fixed (for objects at an infinite distance). You can look at this image, even without an eyepiece, with a sheet of paper moving back and forth looking at the moon for example. So backfocus issue is for me a pure mechanical question that has no relation with size of the CCD or CMOS chip. It is related to the position of chip in the body of the camera and the mechanical adapter you use to attach your camera to the focuser, if this distance put the chip beyond the achievable move in of the focuser, you cannot focus ie put the chip at the focal point. The size of the chip is related to the field of view that you will get with different cameras when the chip is placed exactly at the same physical point that is the focal point.?
If my understanding is right you should compare where the chip in your present camera is placed from the edge attached to the focuser with the same measure of you future camera, the size of the chip will change the magnification.
But I might be wrong. Hope an expert will clarify it.
