UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Hi all, There is a guy on Astrobin who mentioned he will try deep sky imaging with his Obsession UC22 and AN using NINA. I mentioned this group in case he needs help. So I became curious how the DSC

Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
GEMs are the worst choice for tracking satellites.? It's not the equatorial mounting, per se, but rather, the need for a meridian flip with GEMs.? A fork mounted EQ mount on a wedge, for example,

I hope this is not "inappropriate" for posting to the group, but here it goes: Raphael, have you considered perhaps a different type of setup for tracking the ISS? For example, there are Astro-Physics

Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
TPAS won't help you much. It's flaky. Nexus uses an algorithm that works better in this regard. But again, it's not for the purpose you're trying to use.

Raphael, The "stop" might be with only 0.1+ degrees left. It would then just go to the second move and you'd not notice the stop. That is extremely good for the purpose for which it was designed -
