Thanks Linwood. That is where I had it set but for some reason it did not go to my alt az set park location, which is counterweight up for me in my observatory so I can close the roof. It went to

When we built our Park's observatory using an old 16' dome with an 8" F13 achromat on an AP1200, we got into an analysis paralysis about biasing the pier position. Eventually, we said screw it and put

Ideally, you want to place the intersection of the RA and declination axes in the center of the dome as seen from overhead. Calculation of pier height is a bit more involved, because the shutter

Hi All I was wondering if y'all had any ideas on pier placement in an observatory. I am placing my AP1600GTO in a 10' HomeDome and I have a tandem mount with a C14Edge and a SVX140T. I want to take

Ray, Where does NINA get the location on where to park the mount? Does it query the AP driver? There is a spot in there when you hit the double arrows to expand the driver that you can place a park

I wanted to cap off this thread. Lat night I established my horizon limits. I ran a new model for my 1100 tandem rig with 78 points. I had no plate solve failures. Focus on the OAG was achieved

NGC 1365 is my favorite DSO. Here's hoping for a go at it with the Voyageur. It would go far in determining whether I will (try to) get one. Kevin

There are a number of beautiful spiral galaxies in Fornax, NGC 1365 was going to be my next target. Unless the skies part, it will have to wait until my next trip. I have shot these with my 175

Beautiful shots, The Sculptor Galaxy is an awesome target. This is on my list when I travel South some day, I just wish it was at a higher declination! Jared

Hi, John — I’m glad you jumped on that, and glad you got it, because I had re-checked its availability on Amazon before I saw your email, and it is now listed as “no longer available“. This

I brought the 110GTX prototype with me to Hawaii. Attached it to the top of Big Bertha, my 305 Honders. It's quite happy riding the big scope. One clear night to produce a couple of quick images, a

There are no clutch plugs on the Mach1. Tightness of the clutches have no relevance to the actual operation of the worm gears - they are two separate things that are not connected to each other.

Hi Steve >>>I suspect I’ll need to recalibrate when loosing the ST-4 cable but that’s easy enough. yes but just once. After that you can reuse the guiding calibration for all targets >>>make a

Thanks Brian. That’s exactly what I was looking for. I suspect I’ll need to recalibrate when loosing the ST-4 cable but that’s easy enough. The old school way I’ve done in the past is to make
