Re: Permanent Pier Parking
|
Hi Russ
sounds like a great project - i hope you keep us all in the loop!
For more permanent pier-based setups, I usually see one of two approaches:
1. Park the mount at CWD and warm start. Warm start = "warm start at CWD position" or 2. Define a Home position (such as 90 degrees) and just park it there and warm restart. Warm restart = "warm start but not at cwd position"
?
Starting new thread regarding parking of mount in observatory/permanent pier since a search of the archives are showing this topic to be over 10 years old without an update.
So, in my case, with mount in an observatory on a permanent pier, I always park at night at CWD (all bubble leveled) and have been doing a Warm Restart on next night.? Should I only be doing a Warm Start instead of Warm Restart??
Additionally, I am thinking of creating a "Park" position at 90 degrees from CWD (telescope pointing to eastern horizon) so I can close the roof (avoiding getting dust into scope) and after roof closed, select park at CWD for its home/storage position.? Is this also do-able?? ?Thanks!!!
