Ah – very interesting. Yes – that sounds like a good idea! Thanks, JD

Yep – that is very good advice. I think I shall probably follow that! Thanks, JD

Hi Joel, Yes I do agree that the preponderance of evidence would point to some issue with Stellarium being the culprit. But there is the possibility that Stellarium is doing something perfectly legiti

Hi Geof, Yes – as the joke goes – Me: “Doctor, it hurts when I do that…” Doctor: “Well don’t DO that…” I understand that might be the “fix” – if only for now – and I’m prepared to do that. Right now,

Hi Dale, Thanks for the response... I was frustrated when I posted - I do understand what an incredibly complex thing we are trying to do with all these different pieces of software - developed by dif

Interesting idea – I will have to investigate. Thanks for the heads up! JD

JUST AN UPDATE for any following this thread. Disappointingly – but not unsuspected… the guys over at the PHD2 group looked at my guiding and debug logs – and blamed the problem, as they almost *alway

I think that possibility has been eliminated by the tests which all involve the same guide camera operating with the same settings. There are no problems in the system until Stellarium is added to the

Unfortunately the knee-jerk response from the PHD2 support forum is “oh it’s a Stellarium problem – go ask them” or they are trying to tell me I’m not using the AP ASCOM driver to communicate to Stell

Hello, I have been seeing this problem for several months now, and I would like some input as to what the nature of the problem might be. **NOTE: I have also sent this same post to the PHD2 support gr

Guys - I'm very confused... I have a good friend who has been a LONG time Mach1 owner - is incredibly knowldgable on all things (has written his OWN imaging software equivalent to SGP or NINA) - and a

Roland - can you answer definitively: does the "Reverse Dec output after meridian flip" need to be checked or not checked? I ask that because over on the PHD2 board, I have a guy telling me " The ASCO

Hello Renan, Yes - I am using SGP with PHD2 - I would greatly appreciate the information. Thanks, John

Thanks Roland - I can see what is happening - just don't understand why, since I did have the check to switch the Dec calibration after meridian flip... I guess I just wanted to make sure that is what

I'm sure this is a configuration problem, but I have not been able to find a clear answer searching the web, so I thought I'd post here to get input from the AP experts. I have a new-to-me Mach1 that

Wanted to circle back and provide some closure on this thread, so that if anyone comes on it searching for something similar - they will see the resolution of the issue. The last 2 nights I was able t

Hi Rowland - Hope you didn't lose any sleep over this issue! Thanks for the additional idea and detailed pictures - I just checked and all the screws there were rock-solid tight. So that's not the sou
