Very clean implementation Dean! Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Call Astro Physics to order the grease kit. Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Personal, I was glad that it used the XT-60 since it is more common, easy to aquire, cheap and works extremely well. They became popular after the RC community switched from the T style (Deans) connec

I should have clarified also that my 1100 does not have AE. Also, it did guide better after I clicked for it to change to Lowpass2! Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Also, if you run the guiding assistant for a while (10 minutes+) it will recommended a different algorithm if it thinks a different one might be more appropriate than the current selection. Last week

I believe the screws are deeper in those holes that have the cover screws. It takes a little precision to get the allen key all the way in there and hit the mark. That might be what you are missing. T

I would wait for more knowledgeable people to chime in because it can be a couple things. In my case it was gear mesh and was easily fixed by doing a re-mesh procedure from the instructions. Thanks, C

Trevor's YouTube channel is very good as well as: *Chuck's Astrophotography *Ray's Astrophotography *The Astro Imaging channel - goes back more than 5 years! Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Dick, there is a choice you will have to make up front on cameras. Either one shot color like the ZWO ASI294MC Pro or monochrome with red, green and blue filters like the ASI1600MM. These are the only

Thanks Roland, I was able to record a curve for the 1100 and Mach1 Saturday night. I should be able to test them with PhD2 the next time we get another clear night. They are rare in Tennessee this tim

Well I guess I know what I'm going tonight. Thanks Dean! Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

I would be happy with your current guiding RMS but I image from the city. My RMS is usually around .5-.8 and that had been fine for any imaging I do. Can you run PEC while guiding with PhD2? I've read

I really enjoy using the Pocket Power box and the Ultimate Power box V2. However, when I got my Pocket Power box last year it lasted a month before two of the power outputs quit working and my Ultimat

Thanks for the picture! Is that the 24" portable pier? Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

I use 2 seconds for all my different scope/guidescope configurations in PhD2. I image from an area with considerable light pollution but don't know if that really matters. Thanks, Charles Sent from mo

I use a finger on each side of the gearbox to slightly press down from side to side so it rocks back and forth. Once it's in the middle I release some pressure tighten the two screws. If it's too loos

Won't the motor trip a fault and stop if it hits with the clutch tight? I think I remember that happening to me once when my meridian flip time was off a little bit. Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile d

I use the RAPAS each time I go out for a rough PA. I can never tell how good it is until I start up PhD2 and check it with guiding assistant. Once Polaris is behind the reticle line you can't see it t
