Amazing work in those galleries - wow! Thanks for sharing this with the group Keith! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/

Rolando, I use TSX (and CCDSoft5 + TS6 before that) and my opinion is that it is a superb autoguiding solution. With TSX you get mount and camera control in one (vs. CCDSoft5 which was only camera con

Tom, I believe that DirectGuide is for the Bisque mounts only. I think you need PulseGuide or Relays with CCDSoft5 and an AP mount. I've used PulseGuide with my AP900GTO and TSX but not recently. Did

Beautiful job Terry!!! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/

Rolando, I worked for many years in Marketing at a very large multinational. I would regularly get assailed by a customer over a price increase. They'd trot out figures about the cost of this that and

I've gotten it to work in the past. I think you should be looking in the V2 driver for Pulse Guide and that path leads to elimination of the cable. That was with my CP2 and AP900GTO and TSX. I think i

The two things that come to mind quickly are: 1) how is the mount supported? Tripod on dirt? Permanent pier? It could be that your mount is losing polar alignment if the ground is shifting under it an

Terry, both images are beautiful! They look like tough targets to process. Nice job on both! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/

I'm sure I missed some earlier posts but this sounds like you have the wrong tracking rate set not PE. What tracking rate are you using? If you've picked lunar or solar then that for sure would cause

That would definitely do it! I had a similar problem long ago when I set up my mount in TheSkyX. My town has the same name as one in India at the same latitude. Guess which one I picked by accident. L

Charles, just a guess but I would expect that if this is the first time you put a scope on that mount that you had a 50/50 chance of putting the objective on the same end of the saddle as the previous

Way to fight the good fight Bill!!! Stuart

Well, you'll need some kind of adapter anyway and it is likely that a commercial adapter that allows Nikkor lenses as well as connecting to the telescope will be a) cheaper and b) have utility beyond

Mike, I have not done this but it seems to me there should be an adapter to use Nikkor lenses on the Fuji camera. If there is, you can put that on the camera body then it would attach just like your N

Ben, I'm running twin rigs now (again). I suggest practicing hanging wallpaper with one hand tied behind your back. That skill will come in handy. ;-) Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/feature
