Thanks Jim, that is good to know. Larry Rbofocus, Maxim serial alone

Hi Group, My plans this weekend is disasseble my telescope,and counterweights & etc. and grease the mating parts of the RA/DEC. No problem here. However the Declination gears make a noise "click"

I use pulse guide in a semi-remote situation. Primary uses are for centering, changing rates, meridian offset, etc. I find it useful. I also use The Sky, Maxim, CCD inspector, Photoshop, PemPRO,

Thanks Bert and Rolando! Having nailed an exoplanet which leads to a dimming of the parent star by 13 mmags, the next question is how much lower can I go and still capture such a transit. We have

VERY impressive, Anthony! Congratulations!! Bert katzung1@... www.astronomy-images.com www.visionlightgallery.com/katzung/

Hi Hap, Nice work! Beautiful observatory, great website - quite a setup with you and your pals down there, congrats. Did you do the machining on the plate or did you ahve a shop? Looks great, thanks

Hi Hap, Where did you get the mirror lock? I have had an external Feathertouch focuser on mine for years (not the knob replacement kind, the full blown 2" modified crayford type) and eventually gave

John, Thanks for the response. I am not having any problems with it I am just trying to figure out how to use it. I was hoping to hear how others are utilizing it. Sounds as though from you comment

Larry, Maybe you'd get more of a response if you could describe the problem are you trying to solve with PulseGuide? If you're doing automated imaging with autoguiding, I don't see it has any

Since no one responded to this message, should I assume no one is using this software during automated imaging? Is there a better forum to ask this question? Larry wrote: how I am the to that to to

Dear group, I sat down last night to pursue the 175-minute transit of the exoplanet HAT-P-5b in the constellation of Lyra. The parent star, GSC 2634:1087, is characterized with a magnitude of 11.950

Hi Larry: If I'm understanding your question properly, there's no problem at all. In fact, I use a side-by-side plate with my AP 130 EDF and the AP guidescope, so each scope is about 4 inches off the
