Lookie, their first setup used our old 600 mount:

Windscreen is most effective. Rolando

Maybe four 8 incher R-H, or four 6 inch short focus refractors. Light grasp would be comparable. Rolando

Don't know yest. Most probably a full frame 35mm CMOS at some point. Rolando

Thanks Brent. I'll try that next clear sky. BC

Better results if same sky conditions. https://www.dragonflytelescope.org/ Cheers

Been a lot of PHD2 discussion recently, so what's one more... Dry season is starting soon here with more clear skies, but it usually comes with some wind. I realize the real fix for wind is a wind

What if you got 4 "Honders" owners to image the same target night after night with the same cameras and filters? That would be easier than running 4 Honders in an array on the same mount. Then make

Funny enough, every Thanksgiving and Christmas here in Hawaii, before COVID, my wife and I would host a "Thanksgiving in the Land of Misfit Toys" for all of the elderly, widowed, single or just lonely

I’m so thinking mini-dragonfly project. Can’t that mount handle 3 or 4 Riccardi-Honders scopes? My dream project!

Hi Roland, Thank you for the explanation. When you told me the springy feeling is not a problem in your email, I believed so but didn't know why. Now I understand the reasons behind it. My other

Hi Alex, I think this supports the slipped clutch theory. The offset stayed until the plate solve after the pier flip accounted for the offset position. -Ray

Can’t wait to see the images. What do you plan on using for an imaging train? From: <main@ap-ug.groups.io> on behalf of "Roland Christen via groups.io" <chris1011@...> Reply-To:

Match made in the heavens. 😆 Pete

Joe, I'm glad that worked! :-) -Ray

We have excellent transparency at our observatory and the sky is really dark. The seeing (star scintillation) is not always good, but the Honders is a medium focal length scope (1160mm) so it is ideal

WOW!!! Should be the proper setting for the scope! Looking forward to Pacific based Honders images. 😎 Pete

Ray, Deleting the settings file did the trick! The mount seems to be connecting and pointing fine now. Thanks, Joe

It remained shifted for the half dozen or sub subs until the meridian flip. After the flip and platesolve, the correct centering happened.
