Andrew, glad to hear you sorted the dec encoder issue. That's one impressive turnaround time for a fix by A-P! On Sun, Nov 27, 2022 at 4:59 AM Chris White <chris.white@...> wrote: Awesome! |

Awesome!
My heart skipped a beat seeing the pool! Totally understand your needs though. Doing a model is super easy. You'll love it. |

Here's the setup. I'm aware this expensive setup is next to a swimming pool. After hearing about that person on here who's mount blew over, it makes me a little nervous. Though I can't imagine having it outside during 30-60mph gusts. In a few months this will all be moved to an observatory. Until then, this is the best spot on the yard for imaging.

Technically it's my second night. I had a hardware issue with my DEC encoder which had to get sorted out back at AP. But they were fast, and had the mount back to me in less than a full week.
It's been storming here for the last 6 days, and I finally got it out. I have the Takahashi Epsilon 200 on it, and I'm guiding since I've not built a model. After a PA routine with Nina, down to 1 deg of error, it's guiding very well. One of these days I'll get a model going, but want to work out the kinks first. Monitoring right now for the meridian flip. Hopefully that will go smooth.  |
