Re: Cold Start unresponsive
It¡¯s hard to explain ?but the boot process shows a logo screen ( a pretty Gemini 2 logo and credits) then pauses for a short time at ?¡°a blue screen¡± which states ?¡°touch to calibrate¡±.

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Hi Sebastian, I'll go out in a limb and start sawing. When I run across these sorts of posts, my first thought is: "Are you moving around by your mount/telescope at all during the imagining?" My

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Sebastian: A couple things come to mind. If you are seeing aberrations at very short exposures, it is more than likely something in the optics. At 5 seconds there is very little movement in the mount.

Re: 2 questions for you: Guiding as the next Losmandy Zoom Meetup topic
1. My guiding seems to be excellent to me, and my needs. But I'm always interested in trying to learn more, or gather tips from others. Numbers and logs don't do a lot for me. But I can usually learn

Re: How is the belleville washer solution working?
Dear Anthony, Wow...let me clear up about those pictures you show ... I made a mistake in my first PDF write-up...that Belleville washer you show in the picture should be flipped over: You want the

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
I have a 50/330 refractor from teleskop service (same as Stellarvue or Sharpstar) with dedicated flattener. I dont have a suggested T2-DSLR adapter so maybe that's an issue. This scope is attached to

Re: Cold Start unresponsive
Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if you could clarify what you mean when you say "calibrate" the hand control screen. Ince I'm automatically taken to? the "cold start, warm start, etc.", screen

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Seb, This looks like it could be a flattener spacing and sensor tilt problem. Looking at the corners you have a spacing problem but the bottom is not as bad, almost perfect. This tells me you have a

Re: RA axis stability test
Henk, Is this repeatable? Does it happen in both directions??It looks like you kicked the tripod or the camera or focuser flopped. I suggest a careful retest making sure you don't have a loose screw

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Its a refractor , so it should not lose collimation. I will check collimation anyway on a bright star next time. My guiding wasn't too bad. If it was guiding, stars would be more elongated on frames

Re: Maybe, I should not blame my mount for it ?
Maybe your collimation is out? Mine was out a few days ago and it looked alot like that. I have an SCT, so it needs adjustment on occasion. How was your guiding?

Re: What's wrong with this mount? Help please .
Brian, that's a good idea, will do. I haven't been motivated to do that yet since my current guiding is good enough for now. But the upcoming full moon days would be a good opportunity.
