Polaris does not sit directly on the north celestial pole. It's J2000 declination is 89 16' 05". If it were exactly on the NCP, it would be at 90.0 degrees. Even if it was exactly on the NCP right now

A smaller data set, yes - a 15 megapixel image data set (60/4). But there are other factors here, such as where the binning is happening. If it's happening in ZWO's SDK, and hence its ASCOM driver, th

Binning on CMOS is doesn't work how binning on CCDs does. CMOS binning happens in software, after the sensor is completely read out, because each pixel has its own ADC, and each ADC will have its own

Yo, just a bystander watching an otherwise quite technical thread here, but check the tone before proceeding. You're either investigating a discrepancy and its cause, or you're trying to accuse people

It sounds like you really ought to contact Astromi for support on this then.

#APCC

A unique COM port is assigned by Windows automatically. You pin devices to particular COM ports if you want their device ID to stay on it and not move around. One does not need to manually allocate th

#APCC

This is a bit impossible. Windows allocates COM ports on per-device basis. How are you ascertaining that both are on the same COM port?

These screenshots are all coming in illegibly because they are likely being resized. Try posting them to imgur and replying with the link to them: https://imgur.com/upload?beta

Can you screenshot the AP ASCOM driver window with it fully-expanded, right after SGP launches it and it connects to the mount, and post it here? Also make a screenshot of the Telescope tab in SGP's E

It doesn't work that way, Joe. These auto-timezone settings use any location data that your computer can derive from its public IP address or any observed wifi networks, if visible (databases of wifi

Yes, specifically, the 1Gb ethernet specification (IEEE 802.3ab, ratified 22 years ago) included auto-MDX as a standard part of it. Crossover ethernet cables are required 100 or 10Mb twisted pair ethe

In addition to Ray and Roland's recommendations, make sure that the ASCOM driver wasn't set to an unintended tracking mode such as solar or lunar.

All US government sites (that includes NASA sites) must have been made TLS-only by the end of CY 2016. In addition to that, TLS 1.1 or higher (such as the newer TLS 1.2) are the only versions these si

The accuracy of your PC clock and, by extension, the clock in the mount control box, is crucial regardless of the situation. I presume you are initializing the mount using the A-P ASCOM driver from yo

Hey Mikki, I responded to you about this issue on your CN thread. One other potential cause besides mechanical slippage is your PC's clock drifting copiously between sessions. This is something to con

A lot more people go up and down stairs, multiple times, on a daily basis than get exposed to this virus. You should really take a remedial stats and analysis class if you think Number A being bigger

Jim, I have a habit of calling out bullshit when I see it. I'm not at all sorry that you don't take kindly to that, and I'm willing to bet that your more learned colleagues would agree. Comparing deat

The Kirkland, WA nursing home serves as a very convenient statistic here. 120 residents and 180 employees. As of March 15, 27 deaths at the home have been attributed to sars-cov-19 in the time period

Being a pathologist, you would also recognize that the bubonic plague and its death rate happened when science, personal health, and healthcare systems were more than just a bit less than the calibre
