Re: ServoCAT on my DOB enables Astro Photos
Good morning Gary, 1. You don¡¯t really need to guide with modern CMOS cameras and short exposures especially with great applications like Sharpcap pro and ASIAir. I personally have used Sharpcap Pro

Re: ServoCAT on my DOB enables Astro Photos
Filippo (and others doing EAA with a dob), Good morning. Now that I've retired I'm considering what I want to do with my time... I am an amateur radio operator - and use to have a world class station

Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Raphael, Good morning sir. Ok - good to hear the results. Personally I think 5¡ã/sec on a scope of that size and mass is more than sufficient :) I'd not suggest going any higher. That will mean a best

Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Dear Gary, dear all, Yesterday I performed the tests describes above by Gary. There was high winds, so not ideal for motors, but I did the test anyway. Original az rotation speed 3¡ã/s, acceleration

Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Thanks Gary Very clear. I understand and will proceed I¡¯ll do this (n few weeks as wether forecast is not good this week end and so I can¡¯t test with the loaded scope thanks again Raphael

Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Sorry Raphael, that listed speed was unloaded. Trust me - as it turns out a gear ratio of ~6000:1 will typically do about 6¡ã/second. On a mount where there's less frictional losses it will do better

Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Thanks Gary !!! Such a very complete and wonderfull answer ! Enclosed I put my setup and we can see that my acceleration is 3 s, which seems a bit low if I increase the speed in az. I will try to do
Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Raphael, Good morning sir! So. The ultimate limitation is going to be the top end motor speed. As information I intentionally designed the internal SMPS to run at 30V even though the motors are 24V.

Re: Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Thanks Bill oups ! My mistake ! Of course changing the gear ratio would be wrong ! My question should have been : Could I change the slew speed as I want , in my case put in servosky 6 deg/s, without

Increase Az rate : is there a limit for motor ?
Dear all, My 36" slew rate is 3¡ã/s in alt and 3¡ã in az/s The gear ratio are 9445 in az and 13914 in alt. In alt, 3¡ã/s is OK, with max angle to move is for my scope 88¡ã(max alt)-7¡ã(min alt)=81¡ã.

Re: How to get the .dat file of my servocat Version V60E ?
Ok solved !!! I had plugged the AN at rear of Servocat instead of in front !! Sorry for having disturbing the grouo Everything seems to work properly !

Re: How to get the .dat file of my servocat Version V60E ?
Note that it¡¯s not obvious on the video but after startup the red led ? guide fast ? was still We checked the wireless hand controller battery. It is only 8.1 volts. Is it enough ?

Re: How to get the .dat file of my servocat Version V60E ?
Dear all i successfully installed both upgrade of Servocat and argonavis at home. The parameters of Servocat was conserved successfully as described above. The parameters of AN have been successfully

Hello Paul. Good questions! So ... first the Argo Navis. You can leave it anywhere you choose to leave it - more than likely you will have last been at the "CATALOG" menu selection, possibly in that
