I do use a Mathis MI-500 with an AP-GTO and I do have a strange behavior when using TheSky6. When I request the scope to slew a small distance, everything works beautifully, when if I do a GOTO of may

Thank you Ray!

I do use an MI-500 with the AP motors and controller. I was wondering how the phase of the periodic error correction is kept, is it based on the ra motor encoder ? In which condition do I need to retr

Does it mean that I do need to do a clean shutdown of the mount. If for instance, I do loose power, will this prevent saving the correct worm position?

Thank you Roland ! It looks like your embedded programming skills do match your optics quality ! -- benoit

my mi-500 is tracking nicely and at the correct rate using the gtocp3 default setting, but I cannot seem to use the PEM since a single rotation of my worm gear is ~4 minutes and not the ~6 minutes of

I tried pempro and it creates a clean pe model but I think that when it is replayed it is based on the wrong worm rotation time

I did not change it. I will check again on the scope tonight and maybe send you the logs. Thank you Ray

I had to flip my scope on the mount (fork, mi-500) and now do have declinaison going in the wrong direction. how do I swap the declinaison direction with the gto-3 ? Also, how do you setup the mount t

Adding to my short comment. Rolando image shows clearly the jet at the top right of M87 (about 50 pixels or so in length) -- benoit

nothing looks as good as clean monochrome!

Is there a recommendation to control a 1600gto from Linux or from MacOS X? I am looking for a good solution which also handles a pointing model. Did anybody run Ray's software using Wine of similar? t

Thank you Christopher. this looks great for my use. -- benoit

Roland, can you give us a sense of the seeing (turbulence) up there using medium size telescopes ? Was it dramatically better than what you typically do see ? -- benoit

Anybody would have the info handy ? thank you -- benoit
