Yes, and you can probably image it from your location? Rolando

I looked at your graphics and you have a lot of stuff going on. Whenever I have a problem with anything complicated i always go back to basics. In your case i would plug the guide camera straight into

New term: PI (=Precision Imaging) Immaculate precision - the extreme edge of field is spellbinding. The extremely faint galaxy is around about 8:45? I love this stuff - the eloquence is in the

Thank you all, especially Roland and Ray for the feedback...it's so nice to have you directly supporting us here. I have put together a small collection of graphics showing the various tabs

VERY nice! -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/featured.html

I personally do as Rolando suggests in an earlier e-mail for an initial setup. However, when I finish for the night I go to Park 3. (Only because my case will store the mount in that position). I

M13 is now at a good point for observing, high up near the zenith at night. A quick (very quick) look at this bauble. Taking advantage of a clear night to do some mount testing with the 17". Caught an

Hello Scott, Personnally I setup in the field, polar align using the RAPAS, then since I always send the mount to PARK 3 before turning off and packing, I disengage the clutches and manually place

The safest way is to start from a known reference park position and then send the mount go to a known star. Center the object and press Rcal. If you manually go to a star and do a sync, there are two

Excellent advice! Rolando

No, don't do that. It just confuses the issue further. Rolando

Your settings all look correct. I assume that you have a very short guide scope, since it moves the camera only 2.4 pixels per second. Therefore your guide camera has a pixel scale of 6.25 arc seconds

Hi Bryan, The main thing APCC Pro provides is much higher pointing accuracy over the entire sky. However, if you know the region of the sky where the satellite is passing you might try synching to a

New setup. Never use Star Sync unless advised by support after doing something severe. RCAL is what you do on any Star you're using for the first align of the night. Sometimes, if my polar alignment

ya, put in park and then unpark from that reference position. then sync on a etar.

I purchased my Mach1 last year and have set it up a couple times indoors. It tonight is my first time using it. I have the RAPAS and my basic info all entered such as Latitude and Longtitude, time

put up a picture of your guider tab too so we can see aggressive settings but mote importantly what is checked under auto pier flip, etc. what main scope are you using? oag or guider? what guide

Ray: Thanks! 1. For accurate tracking the time at the computer has to be very precise. With even one second of error, the satellite will be far away from its predicted position. All my PCs start up
