I will say it again: Polar alignment in this case is NOT the issue. Your guiding is essentially perfect, but unfortunately the imaging camera is NOT following the guide camera. It's called

Thanks Rolando, I ordered a OAG, Lodestar x2 and Lacerta (focuslock) last week. So hopefully will solve such issues...!! Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows

Thanks Peter, I’ll look at the tilt (Rolando says guiding etc was good) as there are lots of attachments in the 1.6 Tak Extender setup. Good point.

Hi everyone, I use polemaster 1100 AE GTO FSQ 106 EDX at 1.6 848 mm ATIK 490EX Guidescope ZWO 280mm 60mm ZWO224 ASI guide camera Ill upload my guide logs for PHD2. Would polar alignment account for

This one did, says the file isnt there. Usually I can view them though.

Doesn't enter into it. The guiding is spot on, so the mount and guide scope were tracking perfectly. Rolando

Your guiding looks perfect. Your imaging camera is drifting with respect to the guider - differential flexure between imaging camera and guide camera. One or the other is loose. Rolando

Hi Matt, It's difficult to answer without any information from you like scope, camera, mount, etc. used. Did you guide with guide scope or OAG, etc.? How was the mount polar aligned: drift alignment,

No, it's not polar alignment since your guiding is ok (.4arc sec RMS). Not enough information about your setup. However, i will take a guess that you have a separate guide scope. Because you are

My bad Mike. I deleted the file because I felt it wasn't relevant to let everyone know about the file. I just posted a conversation and put a link in there to the files to those that are

Hi everyone, Last night I had some time at the end of a session to have a look at a new target NGC3576. My guiding was ok (0.40 RMS) and I thought I'd just try a 30 min

Do these links from Yahoo always fail for anyone else?

Thanks Roland. I appreciate the perspective. If the PE curve performs well, then I am good to go. :) ________________________________ Sent: Monday, February 26, 2018 9:21 AM To:

Ray, I am sorry butI don't understand why you don't want not to unpark at the beginning of session. Some planetarium software could use that ! I can remember maybe it could be a problem with CP3 (when

Got a link to the O3 image?

I end up doing this quite a bit. I wanted to use sky safari 6pro and it only parks at park4. (I don't want to). I park at 3. So when sky safari links and unparks - it assumes unpark from 4. = (

why my PE is higher than it should be though. Since your mount is 2 years old, it is most likely that the worm has worn. Worms will wear in much faster if you do a lot of slewing, and will change

Thanks for the information. No need to return it at this point. I am going to see how it performs with the fresh PEM curve loaded into the mount. Based on the previous data, it appears to be
