Dear all, I was not using the local sync function but after reading manual I believe it is quite powerfull to find faint objects. So yesterday at end of observation I tried to activate it on M42 with

Hi Richard, Gary, thanks for this additional info. Regards, Mike

Mike, At the moment and for the foreseeable future a DSC will need to be connected and have to have been aligned before you can do a PC Planetarium connection. The DSC is what has the knowledge of the

Mike, The USB port on the ServoCAT gives Stellarium access to Argo Navis--a clever type of serial data pass thru that Gary designed. Stellarium will place a target style marker overlay on top of the

Hi Richard and Gary, thanks very much for your quick and positive responses on this.? I probably will just start by using my laptop not the hub mini-PC you use (sorry for the non technical terms). I

Ok, It will be the end of January before we get to use it again. I am almost certain that it is Gen3. I just wish it didn’t do the second movement. A little over a year ago one of the spur gears

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
