As someone who's become very pysically limited by handicap over the recent years, this is exactly what I've been holding off and hoping for in order to get some observing "independence" and flexibilit

FWIW.... I have a 900 CP3 that I can go about 5min reliably unguided. But since that's too short for my preferred subs, the bigger challenge for me has been taming differential flexure and getting aut

Thanks, Ekhard/Ray, Well, that didn't work, but I found the problem. Big DUH moment.... Enable environmental polling was UNchecked in the Environmental Settings. Guess somewhere along the line that go

Ray, For some reason, the temperature entry box for the pointing model has disappeared. I thought maybe updating to the latest version would fix it, but unfortunately it hasn't. The pressure box IS st

Been there with my 900... What I've done is slew to a known star/object in the area, center it, and select that object in my planetarium software and send a manual Rcal (a "Synch" in their terms usual

Don, I had a similar problem recently (also on Sky 6 + Win 10).... Have you tried reinstalling the Tele.api driver? Fixed it for me. Good luck! Bob Sent via Verizon Wireless

Yea, the obligatory lawsuit protection statement.... It's fine as long as you aren't imaging in the rain. ;-). Keep it off the ground and it's perfectly safe to use. Just make sure you're on a GFCI ci

Hi Lloyd, I plotted a few of your sessions from the log files, and beyond the commanded moves, there are two huge errors that quickly appear in X and Y at certain points--then settle out. Something is

Hmm--you might want to upload/post the CCDAP log file too.... Maybe something in there that can tell the tale...

FWIW, I had to tear my 900 (6 yrs old) apart recently to diagnose a motor stall and it looked exactly the same on both axes.... Just some oil separation from the grease.... I haven't had any issues at

Hey, Ken, I recently had to replace my imaging laptop and nervously went with the preinstalled Win 8.1.... Fortunately, everything I use works just fine, except that you need to set things to run as a

Great thought, Jim. Thanks! I tested continuity at each pin, and they seem fine, so I was out of ideas... Much appreciate the advice. :) Thanks, Bob Sent via ATT wireless

Hi gang,After a long hiatus (2.5 years!) to deal with some health issues, I finally got a chance to fire back up under the stars tonight. To my dismay, I suddenly lost my Dec motor and got the amber l

Yea, Mike. Set them to 0 and let the mount itself handle the limits.... That's the safest and easiest way to go ad well. Take care, Bob

Very true. ;-) I will say, though, as a recently former G11/Gemini owner (May), it's nice to NOT have the pointing model residing in the mount firmware. Battery resets; failures; other pointing/modeli

Hi Rick, You MIGHT be able to do this: --create a user defined data at a particular horizon-based az/alt (based upon the exact az/alt given during a "known" park, with the led centered) --when startin
