Re: EasyTrack
Mike, Its been a loooong time since I used or tried EasyTrack - but I'm pretty sure that the DSC connected will not allow it to work. Was the DSC light blinking slowly when you did this? If you heard

My "Dead CAT" thread has digressed to a conversation about EasyTrack mode so I thought I'd start a new thread: From the SC documentation (bold is my addition), to enable EasyTrack operation: With the

Re: ServoCAT Drifting
Hi Steven - long time - hope all is well. Ok - so first are you sure the parameters, the ratio and the track/goto directions are correct? For the directions you can do this simple test. With the scope

Re: AutoCAL cable length
Raphael, Good morning sir. So - first just to be sure - you don't "put" anything in - you go to an object - then move away in AZ (for the AZ test, later in ALT for the ALT test) ... 100 degrees is a

Re: Observing ISS (and other satellites)
Thanks Gary for all this. In fact I have already used the Backlash Optimization file and found a backlash between 2 and 3 arcmin. I didn't know that removing backlash was very important during the 2

and let me add - critical point - you said you hear the 3 beeps - that is the Argo! The manual (I am pretty sure or I messed up) specifically says you MUST have the DSC cable unplugged at the front of

Re: Observing ISS (and other satellites)
Raphael, Good morning sir. So backlash. Backlash should be compensated for. It has to be done in situ as it is unique to each scope. It will impact GOTO's in that if the move ends up being in the
