Bob, Sorry - I think you missed the point. IF it is the latest version firmware then my point is a) that is why you are seeing a lower value and yet it moves again and b) there is indeed a last mover

No, it goto’s essentially almost 0’s. Then moves and ends up something like 0.30:0.55. Back when we first noticed it, the numbers were around 0.10 :0.10. I might suspect the gears are getting play

The algorithm is designed, assuming you are using the latest version firmware, to always end up in the direction of sidereal tracking. So - it does a GOTO. Then it gets the offset again from the DSC

Gary, Thanks for the reply. I will check the drive rollers. It seems to split the error between the axes. I will check both. Hadn’t really thought about it being slipping as it goes to the target

Hello Bob, Forgive me - I saw this and forgot to respond to it ... So - this sounds like a drive roller is slipping due to a loose grub screw. Check to see which axis is off first - then focus on the

Mike, Indeed you can "control" the scope using Stellarium or Sky Safari (also Cartes du Ciel). Control here meaning you can see where the scope is pointed and you can do a GOTO to an object you

Mike, I have the ServoCAT - Argo Navis driving my UC18. I loaded the ASCOM driver for ServoCAT and have been remotely observing inside my house. The key for my system was mounting a NUC type PC (Eagle

Hi, everything is working ok for me at present (20" f/4 classic Obsession, Paracorr field flatenner with ServoCat and ArgoNavis) and as I explained before I use SharpCap Pro's live stacking feature

Daniel, Yes - shouldn't be a problem. On my 12" Obsession used for astrophotography I am running the camera and the camera cooler as well as an Ryzen R5 miniPC - and of course the ServoCAT and Argo

Gary, Thank you for the reply. Will the 12v socket supply enough current for 2-3 dew heaters on low (eyepiece, secondary and maybe telrad? Other than that I might keep the 12v female socket on the

Hello Daniel, There are two different types of connections at the foot of the ground board. The earliest version was a male cigarette lighter plug embedded in a hole in the foot at a right angle to

I have a 12.5 obsession classic from 2004(serial number 1) I am wondering what power connection it has at the time of production. I was told its just a female 12v socket. I am unsure if that is

I am asking on behalf of my clubs SC install. It is a 40" with a Nexus (not Pro). All GOTO's are via the Nexus. A couple of years ago just after a GOTO finished the SC would motor about 10 arcminutes

I have sent you an email. BC

So the buttons on my hand pad have started to stick. I have removed the back to clear any dust (there does not appear to be any). Looking at the yellow buttons, they seem to be "clip-on" buttons, but

Mickey, According to SharpCaps Robin Glover you should raise the gain untill the steep drop in read noise ends since raising the gain beyond that gives very little benefit pherhaps a loss in dynamic

Thank you Gary, I have always heard of atmospheric refraction and I have roughly understood the concept but this is the first time someone explains everything the way you just did, very interesting.

Hi Gabriel, Hopefully, if your equatorial mount is doing the ideal thing, its tracking rates aren't constant either. This is because of atmospheric refraction. The problem is that for any given

Thanks Gabriel and give Deep Sky Lucky Imaging a try. 1-3 sec exposure, I use max gain with my IMX 294c Astro camera, I am not sure how to set a dslr. Take at least 1000 frames minimum, the more the

Hello Mickey, Yes I agree as well, makes sense! Fingers crossed you get some clear weather soon. Aside from the new firmware I tried the latest Meade Generic driver and it works just like the one
