What is it supposed to do? Well for one thing it would tell me if the problem is on the worm wheel since doing this will expose a fresh set of teeth, and it is highly unlikely that each of the 225

Re: Mach1 problem please assist
By the way, is it possible that you have PE correction turned on and you are playing back some bad data? We had this happen once on a mount at the Mauna Kea visitor center. Someone had manually

Re: Mach1 problem please assist
sorry for spamming... but I'm trying to track this down. Looking at the good and bad logs (header) for settings.

I tried the park1 - (move manually to park 5) unpack from 5 and (no change) what is that supposed to do? In my head, I can't think of any benefit/change. The worm still continues doing what it

Re: Mach1 problem please assist
Next night - I'll do a 2-3-4 worm cycle unguided. I also may have one in a older log. I'll work on that.

Joe & Tom,
I understand the concern, but provided there is a positive length location (registering to surface of Chuck) AND the cutting gear train is kept engaged (so nothing can move independently(

Re: Tripod for MC254 and Mach1
Len,
I tried anti-vibration pads years ago when I lived in Japan and observed from a 15th story balcony. I found the pads made touch induced vibration worse (such as focusing) but somewhat reduce

Re: What is the diameter and thread on the Pasil.4 polar scope?
Hi Len,
Interesting short cut with testing the part, but I would be concerned about “repeatability”.
Tom would have to not only mount the part, back into the lathe chuck in two directions,

Tom,

Your problem may be more than this can solve, but there are anti vibration pads which could help:

Ron uploaded the GuideLog to PHD2 forum. While he does have dithering active, the frequency is unrelated to the 'kicks.' As he notes, it is 6.4m +/- 1s every time within the precision of PHD2.

I logged out my best guess on each incursion. There are no seconds so I had to estimate.

I believe you may have better luck by using an image hosting server and posting a link.
