Hi Peter, You wrote: Peter, I think what you are describing is unrelated. What's happening is that some of the PulseGuide moves issued by PHD2 dither operations are returning much later than they

Sorry. Yet another question. I have a GSO RC8" scope with a Vixen bar on the base, and I got the SBD2V with my Mach1 to attach it to the DOVELM162. It feels solid enough, but looking down the end, I

Roland, Can you help us all understand the absolute value in the encoder kit? I would be semi interested in that. :)

Thanks Rolando. I'm not sure that was the issue. My PA was only 0.5 degree out at most, and in any case I didn't do any slew in that sequence until the PA was spot on. I guess I must've done something

Folks, this is a deal for a precision US made mount that's designed, machined, assembled by our dedicated team of really talented (and great) people. Don't pass this up! Rolando

I don't recall having dithering issues with PHD2 and SGP. When I first started using dithering with PHD2 and SGP, I started with pretty small settling size (in pixels) and it never stopped dithering

The only known way to get the problem to occur is with PHD2's dithering routine so if you want to keep looking into the problem that’s where I think is the best place to start. Note that users

I just "liked" it on Instagram! No idea it was also an APOD! Congrats Anthony! Stuart -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/featured.html

That is not really strictly true. Equatorial mounts don't care about their location since they care only if they are properly aligned on the pole and that their local time is known exactly. Only

When you first set the mount up in Park3, it was not polar aligned and was probably off by some degrees. Going to your first object would have been in error - which in this case was 6 degrees off.

I'm sorry, I don't know how a second copy of my mail from last night got set to the list. Apologies for any confusion.

Congratulations Anthony for today's Lunar Eclipse APOD! Nicely done. Rolando

I will look at both of those things. I was distracted last night and didn’t get a chance to look play with it and will try again tonight. Thanks, -Wade

So just as a followup, had an unexpectedly clear night last night, and resetting guiding to Asynchronous did indeed work around the issue, as all had expected. So, good news at least, I can still

Apologies if this thread appears twice. I submitted it and it didn't seem to appear - this Yahoo group is very flakey!! ****************************** Got my new Mach1 on Monday, and been

Hi Dale, Thanks for the great feedback! There is a reason why Lat/Long have been restricted to being set at initialization. If they are changed after initialization the mount may require a sync

Hi All Okay, I am going to start by saying – IT WORKS! But, I am not sure about my work-around. I updated the BIOS. No change. I updated some firmware. No change. I found and updated a Chipset

Just a quick update - powered up the mount tonight with ethernet connected and there was no altitude error. I'm hoping it was just a transient glitch. Thanks again for your advice. Paul

Got my new Mach1 on Monday, and been playing around this week with it indoors. Just got out tonight under the stars - briefly before the clouds came in! I've put a screenshot of my first guiding
