I was asking Michael Fields. Roland

Roland, I did not. Best, Phil Klein

Did you send me an e-mail? Roland Christen Astro-Physics Inc.

Emilio 1. I set my PHD2 exposures to 4 s (when I am guiding...see 2), but I also set a delay in between exposures. I continue to experiment with that delay from 3s to 10s. 2. Yes, my experience

If you can, please send me your e-mail directly to chris1011@... and I'll send you the information. Roland

That's actually backwards on 2 counts. So don't adjust that top bolt. I will send you some info as to how to adjust the backstop. Roland

I think it is because Daleen had my name ae instead of ea when she registered me? Not sure. I was talking to her about APCC Pro. The invoice does have my name ae instead of ea too. But that isn't

The guide rate for all our mounts is recommended to be 1x. This allows the guiding loop to move the guide star in the most efficient manner back to the zero point without delay. This works perfectly

Emilio, While the mount can tolerate a light sprinkle, I suggest strongly against full submersion in water; as fun as it may sound on a special day. Perhaps flowers, a wipe with soft cloth

I guess you should also remodel every time you do some load changes or tweaking of balance? I have to comment, potentially adversely to AP sales. The non-encoder option is so freaking

What is the recommended guide rate setting? My experience with premium mounts is that you reduce the guide rate. The other mount I am using recommends .20 or .25 and I've been pretty happy with

As Ray notes, it depends... Following is likely TMI! For my 200 point model, it took 88'. This is based on the time delta between first and last image, which is all captured in the model file (*.PNT)

Thank you for confirming. Sam

That depends somewhat on image download time and plate solve time. Faster downloads will reduce time. A faster computer will usually plate-solve faster. Typically it takes about 2-3 points/minute,

You shouldn't have to change your model.

Bob I have a 200 point model for a non-AE 1100 (PEM enabled) with a 2500 mm scope. I have been able to image (0.54 a-s/pxl) unguided for 15 minutes, but not consistently. With a 700 mm scope, I think

What the hell are you doing bringing common sense to the party! The perfect, simple, cost effective solution to the problem! Brilliant! Steve 8>)

Probably not. I was doing unguided imaging with an encoder mount. I apologize if I misled anyone. A mount that does not have shaft encoders is open loop and is at the mercy of the periodic error that
