"the further north and near the leeward side of mountains, the worse the seeing"
Oh ya, I can attest to that! I am so envious when I hear of people talk about 0.3 arc/sec better or total RMS

Hi Andrew
can you please upload your guidelog for that session. I assume you followed the baseline guiding steps?
screen captures are interesting but aren't helpful for analysis

Hi Roland.
Thank you for taking the time reply. I really appreciate the help. The main reason ordered the 1100 with Encoders is I was hoping my guiding would significantly improve and maybe even get

First I would let the mount track and record the tracking graph with corrections turned off. That will give you a baseline of the amount of natural sky scintillation (or seeing) that your site is

Fine tuning PHD2 settings for 1100 with Encoders
#Guiding
We finally got a clear night and I was finally able to create a pointing model and attempt my first imaging run last night with my 1100GTO-AEL. I created about a 200 point model and setup PHD2

I thought I had configured the home and mount limits setting a while ago but have not checked it recently. Thank you for the suggestion. I will try that and report back.

Yes actually I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong to confuse the different applications. Wasn’t pointing the finger at software. I was wondering if I was activating software in

Ray and Dale,
I honestly think we are starting down a rabbit hole here. It is my belief that Mr. McCann's safety park timer parked the mount while pointed at the zenith awaiting flats. After

I agree with Ray's next step. Try reconfiguring Home and Limits as shown. If a problem persists, let's set up a time where I can help you while you are at the mount.

Re: Seeking CP3 Control Box with V2 Chip
Periodic error is a mechanical characteristic of a worm screw gear. A PE curve is simply a measurement of that error. It's validity for making corrections is entirely dependent on the synchrony

Polar alignment is not critical at all. There are two check boxes that nulls out any drift caused by polar mis-alignment. Even if you don't use that feature, the final calculation of the periodic

Hi Chris. I just upgraded to the CP4 box, so I do in fact have a 3 lying around, and yes it does have the upgraded V2 chip and running 4.19.3 firmware. I was going to sell it on Astromart but hadn't

Re: Interesting Park using NINA
Hi Dale,
The only difference is that you can select a different park position from the driver's UI than the default. The actual park operations are handled identically.
