Diagram of (top of) Eagle Pier
Hi,
I want to put a different mount on top of the Eagle Pier and need to design an adapter. Does somebody have a diagram with exact dimensions of the top of it?
Thanks
Mark

Re: Guider exposure times?
I have AP 1600GTO with PEM training running around +/- 0.74. I have a 14” Edge HD @f11 and imaging with STXL 11K and guiding with its SXTL filter wheel/guider. I use Maxim DL with 8/8 X/Y

Re: Guider exposure times?
My experience has been that guiding camera exposure times will vary according to how steady the sky is. You want to have exposures long enough to average out the seeing so you aren’t chasing a

Re: Guider exposure times?
It seems that I read somewhere that shorterguide exposures are better, but I am not sure where I read that. In anycase I have always tried to go for 1 to 3 second guide exposures. I useMaxim DL-Pro

Re: Guider exposure times?
Mike, I use 3 or 4 seconds with my 12.5" Planewave / MMOAG. I "think" I'm running 4 seconds with my AP155 and Borg 60mm guidescope.

Guider exposure times?
Curious as to what people have for guider exposures forvarious systems. Was having some issues guiding my 1600/CDK 17/Maxim 5.18/STL6303E(guiding with camera) in that the stars were not always

Re: Mach1 CP3 pier crash!! (Similar to CP4 crash in another thread)
Indeed. The only time my Pyramid shut down was in the summer heat. That week I placed a small fan to circulate the air around it and the problem went away.

Hi,
You should be aware that under certain conditions, ANY Pyramid power supply, including the one sold through AP, may NOT reset its “thermal breaker” after a dropout, for upto a half

Mach1GTO RA is lurching back and forth a LOT
When new (November 2017) my Mach1GTO was very smooth. I could shoot 5 minute subs unguided at 480mm all night long.
Now the RA has regular "lurches" (as I call them). See the PHD2 Guiding assistant
