Correct, it's the orion AG'er. Gedas http://gedas.cc http://www.w8bya.com

So you are using your "on camera" guider and not something like a DSI or independant webcam to guide with. Thanks, Hunter ASCOM you should have The last that's a when I with would this have rather

That's a good question Hunter. As far as I know I have not loaded ASCOM onto this newly populated pc yet so I did not even access the panel you mention. I just selected on-camera for mount type in

Gedas, What guiding rate did you set the AP ASCOM driver to (on the ASCOM panel - NOT the PHD settings) when you used PHD - I believe it has 1x, 0.5x, and 0.25x as choices. I was wondering which to

Hi All, Guiding corrections are made for different reasong at different speeds. #1 Changes in refraction, air pressure, humidity, temperature on the order of minutes to hrs. #2 Mount drive train

Murray, I use a 900GTO and the Orion guider along with PHD. Last week I tried the guider for the first time and found that for my rough polar alignment and available stars, 2 second exposures

Rolando et-al, Thanks for all your responses. The software packaged with the Orion guider allows for .05 sec exposures - so I assume that guidance data is sent out from each exposure - that is to

I believe that the Orion guider is packaged with PHD guiding, which I have used for over a year with my Atlas EQ-G and plan to _try_ to use with an AP mount. It allows setting of RA aggressiveness

I have just bought the Orion Starshoot autoguider camera and have got some very sharp images with a TAK scope on an AP900 mount. Has anyone else tried this system and if yes, what frequency

Thanks, Roland. That tells me what I need to know...that that adapter and RJ-11 cable have the proper pinouts for the mount. Regards, Bill

Impressive, Hap. Your autoguiding software doesn't have a lot to do but correct any errors you may have in your polar alignment. Hunter follows random periodic error rotations of cancelling

Thanks, Roland. I have the RJ-11that came with the camera but need a serial to RJ-11 adapter. The guide output on my ST-8XME with the CFW 9 is a serial jack instead of the RJ-11 jack on the CFW 8. I

I am beside myself with excitement (my wife thinks I have "gone round the bend" :>), because I heard from the good folks at Company Seven that my Mach1 will be shipping soon. Christmas in March.
