I just made that entry. Anxious to see the difference in guiding when the skies clear. Thank you so very much!!! Phillip

Under "Camera Settings": Time Lapse (ms). Set it to 3000 for a 3 second delay between exposures. Rolando

Absolutely, with an encoder mount you will want to have a delay between guide pulses. The reason is that it takes a moment for the axis to fully respond and reverse in Dec when a command comes in. In

Hi Craig, Yes I do see the spiking as you described. Could you please tell me where to find the setting to have a delay? I did not see it when looking under the Brain in PhD2. Thank you, Phillip

I came up with a removable handle to safely carry and mount the 92mm Stowaway refractor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyZPFgAQ0iQ tony

Phillip, Is your auto-guiding graphc really “spiky”, flipping back and forth over the centerline? If it is, then you might try introducing a short delay after each auto-guiding correction. I

Hi Wayne, Recently, I upgraded to APCCPro and used the pointing model as well. While tthe PhD2 guiding graph did improve t(flatten) he RMS value remains around 1" like your experience. I would be

Contact me directly so that our software engineer and myself can study your results. Roland Christen

I recently completed my first APPM model with my Mach2. It really appears to help my pointing and guiding, with round stars on 5-minute unguided subs. However when I tried to introduce guiding with

The Moonraker is an 8 inch aperture. David

Looks like the Moonraker is 8" aperture... https://lowell.edu/giovale-open-deck-observatory/telescopes/

The three mounts are 1600 mounts. What is the aperture of the Moonraker? Rolando

I got the chance to visit Lowell last June just before the Grand Canyon Star party, and Sarah Burcher, Lowell's outreach coordinator, gave me a tour of GODO. At the time the roll off building was

Very cool facility. Don Anderson

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

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

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? Is

Thank you and I will do as you suggest.
