Re: Polemaster
How does it mount to the 900/1100/1200 series holes? Is it threaded as I requested of them when the Polemaster was first announced or does it require screwing tiny Allen head screws to the threads of

Re: V Chip Error
Ray,
Thanks for you input!
Is there a serial RS-232 port that have some kind of priority with the GTOCP4? Just need to be sure about that. Thanks!

Re: V Chip Error
Ray,
When you said " If the popup becomes more common then it might be the time to suspect the
reliability of the serial port" were you referring to the serial port on the CP4, the USB to Serial

Re: V Chip Error
Hi Ray, Roland,
I’ve gotten the same error message a few times but never investigate because it was random.
In the GTOCP4 web page it’s written: RS-232 ports. We retained both RS-232 ports

Re: Polemaster
Just an FYI -- PHD2's alignment aligns to the refracted pole, not actual pole. If you want to minimize field rotation over a night of imaging, then you want to align to the actual pole.

Re: Custom Tracking Rate
Hi Steven,
I have used custom tracking on several occasions to correct for refraction. Here is what I do:
1. Take a 5 second image and select a star, subframe this and then take another 5 second

Re: DST and other changes - using multiple Hand Controllers
We also should not forget the contributions of the keypad software developer, Charles Sinsofski. Right from the beginning Charles decided to make the interface easy to understand, easy and fun to use.
