Hey all,
The new 1200GTO arrived on Friday, was setup on it's pier with no trouble on Saturday and tonight I've run a couple 2 star alignment routines and it's fairly close. I'm going out later to try with some brighter stars to improve the alignment. Tomorrow I may try a little autoguiding to see how that works. I use an ST-4 as a Standalone guider and wonder if anyone has any tips to offer about using it in that mode with the AP mounts. I have an LX200 and G-11/Gemini background. One of the suggested tricks with the Gemini was to run the ST-4s calibration at 0.8 in Gemini, and then reduce that to 0.5 (or thereabouts) for guiding. Most probably know that is to reduce aggressiveness. How do you standalone-ST-4 users setup the paramaters with a 1200? Also, any other keypad setup tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alan Astrophotography: http://www.pbase.com/avoetsch12952

Thanks Dean. Sorry, no computers in my observatory, yet. I'm old fashioned that way, and
i am still using film too... yeah, a dying breed. May try an exposure tomorrow night, although the weather is pretty shakey, as usual. Alan --- Dean S <dean@...> wrote: I cant wait to hear a pempro run, and hope you will report under 3 without Astrophotography: http://www.pbase.com/avoetsch12952
