problem connecting ST-7 to AP1200 GTO
|
John Kruis <J.A.Kruis@...>
Has anyone ever experienced problems connecting the SBIG ST-7 to the AP 1200
GTO? When I connect the St-7 TIC-cable to the mount it starts to move westward. I checked cable connections/pinouts but I cannot get it right. My ST-7 is about 4-5 years old. John Kruis

Hi John,

I use an ST-8E which is basically the same camera (but with a different CCD chip) with my 1200 GTO with no problems. The TIC cable by the way is a simple straight through 6-wire cable you can get from Radio Shack or any other electronic store. I would try getting another cable to see if that is the problem. When you do start to guide with the 1200 make sure you set the button move speed down to 0.25x or 0.5x, otherwise the mount will move too fast when guiding. -Ray Gralak

John:
You might need an SBIG relay box. I needed one several years ago with an ST-7 I was using with a VE Digitrack drive corrector. Without it, it drove the mount continuously in right ascension. Give SBIG a call. Dan Knauss Has anyone ever experienced problems connecting the SBIG ST-7 to the AP1200 GTO?
