Re: 900 GTOCP3 Dec Guiding Issue

Hi Christopher
Can you provide the logs that show the calibration prior to this session?
After your "middle of the session" calibration, Dec does not appear to be responding to guide pulses
I don't

900 GTOCP3 Dec Guiding Issue

Greetings. I've been a lurker on this forum for quite a long time but this is my first post. I've owned a Mach 1 GTOCP4 for a few years and recently bought a lightly used 900 GTOCP3 for permanent

Re: APPM DEC ARC model run
When I run a small model using the NASA cam, everything completes fine, but I do not get a prompt to install the model in APCC. Does that happen only when running it for real with plate solves or am I

Re: NINA Won''t Park in User Defined Alt Az with Counterweight Up and NINA Controls What the SKY Sees as a Parked Scope, but it is not parked.
Yes, the AP ASCOM driver allows you to specify where to park the mount. One of the options in the "Park To" field is a specific azimuth/elevation.
I use the driver's direction buttons to move my

Re: Mach 2 & Tak TOA130NFB
I've had a TOA130 with a guidescope (90 mm) on a Mach1 for that matter, with a similar imaging train as mentioned above. I would think Mach2 wouldn't even notice it. Go for it.

Re: Mach 2 & Tak TOA130NFB
On my Mach1GTO I have a TOA130-NFB with Optec Focuslynx, ZWO 7x2" EFW, OAG-L, and ASI6200MM. It works very well.
I use the FLAT-67 or 0.7x reducer depending on target and mood. The 645 flattener

Re: Unguided, NINA, Dec-Arc question
I would say it is most likely OTA cone error, possibly combined with some OTA component flexure or flop.

Re: Unguided, NINA, Dec-Arc question
My concern is how different east and west values are. It looks either my mount is really off or possibly a cone error. Unfortunately I had not been able to run that model with the target it was

Thanks Stuart and Karen!
I'm going to have to stop looking at this one because since the last update I decided I didn't like that left-to-right red gradient and decided to do something about it...
