T-Point should work with sync in SkyX. I have used SkyX sync for years and never had it fail. You realize of course that T-Point will only create a pointing model. It will not give you a tracking mode

What program did you slew with? What program did you sync with? Rolando

Have you measured the drift due to soil motion? Rolando

Very clever. Rolando

Don't do that! You want stability, not level. Rolando

German equatorial mounts do not need to be level. They just need to be polar aligned, which does not require leveling. Rolando

The clutches have zero to do with the backlash of the Dec axis. This is a very common misunderstanding how mounts with clutches work. Releasing or tightening the clutches has no effect on worm and wor

The handpad is an external app. Whichever external app is used last will override any previous apps. Rolando

You can do a sync in SkyX. Works beautifully. Rolando

.5x slows everything down, so it takes twice as long for the mount to respond to a move command. the way mounts work with autoguiders is the following: The guider takes an exposure and determines that

No. You will need a Rainbow RST-135. Rolando

We have not released any newer versions of the keypad for the CP4 controller yet. Roland

The guys are working on it. I will check for you. Roland

Very nice image, BUT I'm still not convinced that a color camera has a future for me in astro-imaging. I did a 10 minute RGB with a CCD and compared it to a 30 minute CMOS color image. I prefer the CC

There is only one way that the keypad can override external instructions: If you have the keypad guide rate set to 1x sidereal but have an external guider set at some lower rate, then if you use the k

The keypad does not send anything to the mount during guiding, nor does it modify any outside commands sent to the mount, whether they be slewing or guiding commands, regardless of what app is sending

Not critical in your case. Rolando

The AP hand controller sends NO signals. It is totally silent unless you, the user, pushes any of the buttons. Roland

I point and click on the same position each session. Rolando

Just want to remind those who use MaximDL. They have an easy centering routine that I use when framing an image. Instead of doing a plate solve and centering an object, sometimes I want to frame the o
