Hi I joined the notification list not too long ago but haven't received a confirmation. I guess it could take a while. I just don't want to be in a situation like back around 2008 or so where I was on

oops, I see you have VP02-08 already. Rolando

So a couple of things would be good to know: 1) the serial number of the mount 2) the direction of the oscillation (most likely RA I'm guessing) You can send this to my e-mail direct and we can go

I'm the dope who originally posted this on CN :). I wasn't specifically posting it as a problem. It was more like a "hey cool, this mount can track for 10 minutes at 2800mm without guiding!", and

Strickly off-axis guiding if guiding at all. It's on the bottom camera. Rolando

First I need to get my hands on an AP155 and AP160 and a Mach2 before I can try this ... just pulling your leg :) cytan Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Where's the guide scope/camera on top of the 155EDF. Oh, I forgot! This rig probably does unguided imaging! :-) --- Mike

Nice setup! I will be sure not to try this.

Well, I couldn't resist. Here's a pix of the setup with the caveat of WHAT NOT TO DO! It's a 155EDF on top of a 160EDF, each has CCD cameras and Quad TCC hand grenades. The two scopes weigh ... I

Well, I'll settle for a nice AP 5" refractor!! :) I don't see it under the tree, maybe next year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year John

You shouldn't have to live like that. Let me take one of those 6" refractors off your hands and I promise to give it a Mach2 of it's own.

Aloha Ray, I just sent the log files to your group3 email address. I also tried a different ethernet cable, but no luck. And I swapped the RA and DEC cables (that go from the gtocp5 to the back

A +1 what Roland said about balance in all directions/axes. In the 11" F7.2 Newtonian on the 1200, I have 85 pounds worth of weights. I very carefully balanced the tube in RA but also paid

Marj has forbidden me from taking a pix of this setup! Upon pain of death and worse. Rolando
