Re: Lowel Observatory with a new outdoor public observatory
The three mounts are 1600 mounts.
What is the aperture of the Moonraker?

Lowel Observatory with a new outdoor public observatory
Some neat telescopes mounted on some of our AP mounts:

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your response and with the advice from Steven in New Zealand the problem has been fixed.
In device manager I right clicked on the Comport(3), and selected properties and was

Re: Mach1 (spring loaded vers) has gear slop?
Thanks Rolando. I wondered if it was "sky" but seems to have been bad a month or more. But you're sharing pretty much same skies as me. So I'll see how it goes. Thanks for the reply.
Still my shots

Re: Com ports

How did your software know to make those associations?
Somewhere, sometime, SOMEONE had to tell the software what ports to use. Does your software have a Detect button for the camera or focuser?

Thank you,
I did try selecting but the only choices were the ports already associated with the camera and focuser. There were no other choices.
I even tried auto select but that failed to connect when

It sounds like you really ought to contact Astromi for support on this then.

Re: Com ports

With device management open I see comport(4)QSI
comport(3)-focuser
After connecting MBoxV2 a second comport(3) appears. When that happens neither the focuser or the Box connects.

Re: Com ports

A unique COM port is assigned by Windows automatically. You pin devices to particular COM ports if you want their device ID to stay on it and not move around. One does not need to manually allocate

Re: Com ports

It sounds to me like you need to go into each program that uses these devices, and choose a COM port that's actually been allocated to each one.
Windows assigns port numbers, but in your software you

Re: Com ports

This is a bit impossible. Windows allocates COM ports on per-device basis.
How are you ascertaining that both are on the same COM port?

Re: Mach1 (spring loaded vers) has gear slop?
There is no reason to take out any play in RA. That axis is always running in one direction and is never reversed, so play or backlash is not an issue. It doesn't come into play at all during tracking

Mach1 (spring loaded vers) has gear slop?
I was having superb performance over the last year. Total RMS guiding down around .24 - .32
I had some time away while swapping scopes from V1 RASA 11 to a V2 RASA 11. (very similar) V2 seems
