Re: G11G and Polar Alignment
As long as the mount's altitude and/or azimuth does not change unexpectedly I see no way that having tracking running or disabled would affect anything that Polemaster uses to calculate the NCP. Until

Re: G11G and Polar Alignment
I have used the PoleMaster software with the mount powered on and off and can't see any difference in accuracy. Possibly because the PM software is a bit forgiving. But I swear that SharpCap's PAs are

Hmm, IME about 99.99% of cases like this when mysterious errors happen to a solo operator working from routine and memory where a system returns to normal functioning at some point later operator

Michael, in your post, and thank your for it, you said: Latitude and Longitude These settings also use an unusual format (unusual for USA users).? There is a dot in the format that appears to be a

Re: Mount HELP!!
I should have noted that my system is in my ROR observatory. Summary: After my Polar Alignment with SharpCap, I decided to redo all my modeling thinking this would be a good idea after I nailed down

Re: Vela
Thanks Brian. Here's another field I did on Carina last Tuesday (34x300s). Packed up now the moon is up and temperature is getting in the low 40c until mid next week.

Re: G11G and Polar Alignment
Good to know Brian. Since I love to tinker, and "Push buttons to see what happens", I'm going to start trying with my mount *on* during Polar Alignment. I did have it on once, and I got no warning

Re: G11G and Polar Alignment
I want to add some clarification to this when polar aligning, the optics are pointing at north pole, so the amount of rotation is pretty minimal for a widefield optic like the polemaster, tracking on

That's true. But my mount, *on or off* , is riding this mud ball. Just like everybody else's. All I know is it is working. ;^) ( https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-682569-1.html#11929894 ) -- SonnyE
