I'm actually one of the ravens. Rolando

Yes, you are on my list to complete by the end of next week. Rolando

Nothing whatsoever. The cable is wrapped 1/2 way around in either direction internally as the mount rotates from one side to the other. It's not what you think, it's routed that way inside the mount.

One thing that may be happening with the internal cable is that it is inside the metal shafts and wraps partially around the Dec shaft before exiting out the back. That may distort the waveform enough

We do have some standard temp and we are assembling them. Yours is on the list to go out in January. Roland

Just a reminder for those who are waiting for Mach1 mounts and have Renishaw low temp encoders ordered, the delivery of the encoders has been affected by Covid shutdown. We are anticipating delivery s

At the frequencies used in USB3, they begin to act more like light going thru various surfaces. At each connection there is a reflection of the signal just like the air-glass surfaces of a lens. So 2

P.S. unplugging the keypad won't do a thing one way or other. The keypad does not communicate with the mount unless you push one of the buttons. It is totally silent at all times and does not interfer

Guide at 1x. Going slower will not help. Make sure you have a good calibration run. Remove all backlash compensation, both in the keypad and in the guide software. If using PHD2, you should first use

I think you only need the Pegasus powered hub on the scope. Roland

That's great. Thank you for the update. Roland

You should also howl at the Moon when installing software. It helps tremendously. Rolando

Remember to add up all the other gear that goes onto the telescope, such as cameras, flatteners/reducers, filter wheels, couplers, guide scopes and various gadgets that you may add in the future. It a

Hi fellow Astronuts, Just a quick update on 1100 mount production. Our next production run is in the works. All machined parts are finished, we just need to do painting and assembly of the parts now.

Try not to use sync in the keypad. If done wrong it can cause the mount to be lost. Use the Rcal button after slewing to an object and centering. Anyway, I'm glad it worked for you. Many times it is s

It wouldn't be a motor stall if the N-S and W buttons work. It's definitely a situation where an errant sync or recal has placed the axis hour angle underneath the mount. Roland

You have managed to drive your mount into the East limit. Set your keypad to Autostart NO. Send your mount to Park1. Then power off, loosen the clutches and manually move the mount to Park5. Turn powe
