Re: Argonavis and servocat for astrophoto with NINA
Hi Gary, thank you again for your quick answer. I am confident now not to be in a hurry to clutch the servocat drives just after the alignement and will not be stressed if the planetarium software

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
PHD2 can measure Dec(alt) backlash which would include the whole system so if it's within 10 arc min i assume you could enter the precise measured value in ServoCAT sky. I only have this issue in

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
In NINA there is something called "Slew to RA/DEC" or "Slew to ALT/AZ". Does this still mean the Meade Generic driver is causing Nexus to send GoTos since Nexus can't "slew" only?

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
I get that too, from time to time, even with an ArgoNavis.? I have reason to believe it's just a timing issue with ServoCAT talking to the DSCs.? ArgoNavis gives beeps indicating when the slew is
