Hello Gary, Thank you for clarifying, much appreciated! Makes sense that it is actual mount and alignment errors, which sounds good because I would rather focus on getting better at alignment than

Hello! So the Richmond Astronomical Society of Richmond VA is in need of a replacement Argo Navis for an "outreach" telescope that was donated to the club. The Argo on the scope currently is older

Gabriel I will agree with everything Gary wrote about tracking. I have other tracking issues ( most caused by my own alignment) I have never had a tracking issue due to cold weather, at least to my

Gabriel, Good morning sir. Please keep in mind tracking is indeed updated continuously and very accurately. However the actual alignment accuracy is the overall determining factor of how well that

Hi all, In the first calculator (from Mel Bartels who pherhaps many of you already are familiar with) this question is asked: "How long can an altazimuth telescope track with constant rates of speed

Huge thanks Bob! The scope is all metal. Just posted the image i aquired for the first time remote with the new driver on Astrobin. M81 again but my first M81 image was only 10 minutes total

This sounds interesting, what type of dial indicator and where could i find one? Yes, a lot of snow.. anyway really appreciate the willingness to help! I think just few pointers more and pherhaps i

If you are really serious about it, you could set up a dial indicator tangent to the AZ drive roller. Drive the scope and see if the changes are related to the ground board or maybe even the drive

Hello Bob, thank you for the advice i will give it a try next time out! Gabriel

I am not sold on temperature change of the urethane being the total culprit. But the time you add in the ratios, that becomes very small. I would lean more toward the ground/round board having

Hello Mickey, Merry Christmas! Hope you get some nice weather soon. I will try the tracking test when temps change significantly to see if it is the thermal expansion that is "tweaking" the gear ratio

Hello Gabriel and Merry Christmas , Happy Holidays to you all. First I have not had a chance to use the new firmware. The weather has been seriously cold and or cloudy. Until yesterday we have been in

First night out yesterday through Infrastructure mode and the Meade generic driver. Night and day difference. The 2-star align was done inside the house. Automatic slew and center worked, center after

I have one of those and it works well powering everything from SC to dew heaters. Al

Yes! The ServoCAT is designed to handle as low as 10.5V (9V even if just to program it) up through 16V (and realistically 19V). Since all onboard power regulators are what are called switch mode

Hi, i s it possible to use this battery with ServoCat? It has a higher voltage of up to 14.6 volts. This is more than lead batteries.

Mars went soft so I played around with automatic alignment a bit.? Mixed results.? Automatic tracking is working very well, so it's able to solve just fine.? It also does the goto to the desired

Thank you Mickey! I can confirm that I also am superstitious with electronics alone. The Astrogods sent out gremlins testing me, to make sure I was "worthy" of operating remote and with a decent

The new firmware is working with the latest Generic Meade driver.? The tracking at startup is a very nice feature.? It works very well with my ascom based plate solve iterating goto, and it went
