Is it possible to get model corrected coordinates through the command protocol? See the example below. If I turn "Point Corr" off in APCC then the coordinates match.

Nick, You prompted me to translate a document that I have used in several talks. It presents the (simple) equations leading to the 5 x pixel rule of thumb. The original was in French. You can find the

I think I will leave it up to others who have similar setups to comment about the feasibility of your setup. i have not tired a C14 myself and nobody around here has such a beastie. Using off-axis

Wow, and I thought my Mak 10 was undermounted on the 1100. ??? J Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note9, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone

The same clock discipline considerations that exist when syncing time to the PC clock would also exist when syncing to the mount. The PC clock and mount's own clock should also be in sync for reasons

Mihir -- Fwiw.. I've currently got a Meade12" ACF (labeled "RC" tho) on the Mach2: - 16" dovetail saddle, - Pegasus UPBv2, - QHY268M+FW, (2x2 bin) - Lumicon GEG (using the reducer only, unguided),

I have this setup - even heavier than yours since I have to add 7-lbs of counter-balance to the front of my OTA. (I can't push the OTA up forward enough since it will bump up against my observatory

Just my personal opinion, the biggest SCT and cam setup I would put on a Mach2 would be a C11. My C14 rides on my 1100GTO, which is a very good match for it. "My advice is always free and worth every

Hi Roland, Thanks for the reply. I will be using ZWOASI 174MC camera (not the mini version. Sorry for the typo) for OAG. Will this be ok or do you recommend any different camera? I will also add

I cannot comment on the weight capacity, but you should be OK with your OAG Bryan

Roland, Can you also send me that email. My Mach 2 also has that resonance vibration. Regards, David C. Finch df121819@...

Perfect - looking forward to getting this mount up and running! Thanks a million for the info. JT

The gearbox is not attached to the counterweight shaft adapter. Use a large Phillips head screw driver and tap it with a hammer in CCW direction. Roland

Hi Roland, So I don't need to disengage the clutches or the gear box? I can definitely tap with the best of 'em :) cytan On Monday, May

You are going to guide a C14 with a mini-guide camera? It will not work well because the C14 and guide scope will not be in sync for very long (differential flex, mirror shift, etc etc). Bad idea

Tap the Allen wrench with a hammer and it will loosen the adapter. Roland

The stepper motors will hit resonant points if the belt tension is set too high. If you send me an e-mail I will walk you thru setting the belt tension so it doesn't do that. Roland

Hi Roland, Can the Mach2GTO (with AP 16" EAsy balace dovetail on Eagle 6 mount) comfortably handle the below OTA and image train - C14 Edge HD OTA Additional Losmandy Dovetail bar on top of OTA C14
