Hi Chris, Until I can investigate and find a solution, which may not be immediately, you should either disable PA or use Dec-Arc tracking, which is superior to all-sky tracking. -Ray

Bill, I don’t understand the immediacy of the issue. If you are getting better tracking in all-sky mode with PA off, then do so. That’s the temporary workaround until I can look into this.

Hi Bill, It's unclear what you are stating here. Is the issue with all-sky tracking or dec arc tracking? If the mount is in true dec arc mode, there is no tracking difference with PA correction

I use the same approach as Marc. A-P sells an inline DC meter from Powerwerx that goes downstream of your power supply. The screen is easy to read and uses Powerpole connectors.

With the two test shots I did I had a similar result. Test shot with PA Correction Enabled: FWHM: 3.22" Eccentricity: 0.47 Test shot with PA Correction Disabled: FWHM: 2.75 Eccentricity: 0.39

Indeed the full res picture is impressive, well-done Bill !

Thanks a lot Karen! best regards, Dan

I personally use a volmeter/ammeter combo in the 12V supply line of my Mach1. When slewing W/E with counterweight shaft horizontal and current sink from the RA motor is identical for both directions,

Close to 3 hours, and still perfect. Lets all find out why here.

An hour of imaging later, 12 x 5 mins frames, not a single eggy frame at all.

That image of CCDI was heavily shrunk: Aspect is their metric for star roundness. I think this tells it all.

Ray / AP, Well, the theory sounded good, actual usage showed otherwise. New model, much denser, 1 degree separation, the whole nine yards. Eggy stars with PA correction enabled in APCC model terms.

Hi Roland, what will happen if you power cycle the mount? Is the Ortho model still working? Grüsse Konni Konstantin v. Poschinger Hammerichstr. 5 22605 Hamburg 040/8805747 0171/1983476

Thank you Marj! I tried incognito to make sure cache was clear. I see all of the buttons now and will give it another go. EDIT - update completed and went well, thanks again! Dave

You may not have seen my earlier post. The loader that was originally bundled in the zip files did not have the button for the code/database one-step load. I have since corrected that, but you may
