Re: Losmandy DSC strange results

Ray Porter
Yep, I see the 4096 on the web site. The copy of the manual I have has

"4000 nominal" in the same spot. The encoder housing is the nicely anodized aluminum and matches the finish of the rest of the mount exactly. The manual I have was obviously printed from the web site at some time in the past. Maybe this was an over looked left over from the Dob kit manual and it has since been corrected? At any rate, I'll definitely change it to 4096 and give it another try first chance I get.

The Losmandy encoders use the smaller housingbecause of the space requirements created by the gearing. Did you notice the nice anodizedencoder housing and metal gears? Go to Losmandy's website here and it does say 4096 (in red).by 4096the current owner. All the labels say Losmandy so I'm going to try the thesetting. If that doesn't work, I'll follow your suggestion and remove housingback plate to see the label you mention. seethat shows the counts perrevolution and also the wiring diagram for the pins. If your using themetal housed encoder, youhave to take off the back plate and bend down the circuit board the ifthe label on the encoder. Ifis says 2048 you need to use 4096 as the setting. Come to think of it, 2"you are using the Losmandyencoder kit it has to be 4096 as there is no 4000 encoder in the smallsize (S1) encoder housing.The 4000 encoder only comes the The larger (S2) housing which is over planin diameter. The 4000encoder is found most often on DOB's were space is not a problem. alsotogive it a shot next time out. Based on feedback from this group I can'tneedto reset the encoder resolution from the default 4000 to 4096. I statesfindanything in the documentation or any marks on the encoders that 4096whatthe correct value should be but based on everything I've seen here, anythingsounds like the correct choice. tolike the Lumincon DSC's? ie warp factor =0 isguide you to M13, when you get to where ever the DSCs suggest M13 iflocated try sighting the cluster in and aligning on it. Then see yournext target is better centered. |
