Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
TPAS is not flaky! It was proven over years of development work by WCI including but not limited to using the publicly available Keck Telescope data where TPAS achieved the same results. It is,

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.

Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
Gary, " My suspicion is you might be asking too much from such a large scope " Yes, for sure !! In fact trying to get the maximum from my scope is really a target in itself. With my small field of

Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
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 -

Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
Dear Gary, I did it already one and corrected ratio. But there is still a remaining of correction of ratio needed. I mean yesterday night, the scope was pointing accurately because I had just

Re: Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
Raphael, Its easiest to use the "Simple Track Improvements Test" document found on the CD. If you don't have the CD write to me direct and I'll send you the doc. Its a simple txt doc. Gary

Optimising gear ratio : alt ratio correction calculation
Dear all, I have used servocat+AN to follow ISS. As ISS is moving at high speed you have to have have very good ratio adjustment (and also good pointing to have the maths done at good location => I

Re: servocat and nexus dsc pro
Perfect ?? The stars thing doesn't happen often , but for a fact if you use Spica in North America nexus will not give you a good warp number. Also sometimes certain star combos that are at odd

Re: servocat and nexus dsc pro
I am with Gary n this one. About 95% chance it is slipping or binding. The other 5% is probably wiring related. Those encoders can¡¯t tolerate any off axis thrust. Bob Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2025

Mickey, I'm not saying it makes no difference - I am saying it isn't going to account for a 5¡ã error! g.

Actually with the Nexus it can make a difference. This may not be the problem but it can make a difference. Mickey

Re: servocat and nexus dsc pro
The 2 stars used should not cause an issue in pointing of that degree nor cause it to be off on one of those stars (when returned to it). The quality of the alignment - whether the stars were the

Hello Frank, what 2 stars are you using for your 2 star alignment? Mickey

Re: servocat and nexus dsc pro
I have the jumpers switched and the nexus dsc pro is now communicating. I did a two star alignment and it pointed good to the first five targets and then on the sixth target it was off by about 5

Hi Serge, We checked the Nexus and we did not have a filter set. The Nexus is on Amelia's 15" Obsession. However the Nexus worked perfectly last night. Since we are just starting out, she would select
