Re: An easier Pasillx N & S Polar Alignment method

Hi Joe,

Once you get a camera attached, you should motorize the Alt and Az
adjusters with RS232 control. I mean, come on, you might as well
robot-ize the whole thing!

Just kidding.

I have a DSI Pro that I'll try putting up to the polar scope and see
what happens.

Best,
Danny

Hi Joe,

The use of a webcam is just like the eye - it is a lens plus
sensor
system. So the afocal projection will be able to see the reticule
if the eye can see it. There's no way using a guide camera
without
a lens will work.
