Re: Pole master on G11 with Digital Drives
|
if you are using polemaster, you can adjust the exposure and gain settings to be more sensitive. Not sure when?you are doing this, but I find earlier in the evening can be a challenge. it needs to be a little darker
If i was roughly pointed at polaris, very rarely have i only seen a few stars that fit the polemaster pattern, and usually that was when it was too light

I had a clear sky, level tripod and a good North alignment with my laser BUT I could never find more than 2 stars fitting the alignment pattern. I spent 2.5 hours trying every setting, releveling my tripod, and finally went home, frustrated and cold!! Do you or anyone have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? I am new to using my GM-8 but it is ridiculous to not be able to achieve polar alignment!!! Thanks for any suggestions! --- robert.ian.taylor@... wrote: From: robert.ian.taylor@...To: [email protected]Subject: Re: [Losmandy_users_io] Pole master on G11 with Digital Drives Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2020 15:33:44 -0800 [Edited Message Follows]
Had a clear night tonight so tried the polemaster out. Very impressed with how quick this is to get good polar alignment.
