Re: Going Auto with N.I.N.A
Hi Chip , Thank you so much for answer , I know I am going back in time and did not fallow you and Tom long time ago but I was thinking about it :) I've got proof because I found home made Serial

Re: Going Auto with N.I.N.A
Hi Roman, Just use a high quality USB to RS232 converter and the standard Gemini 1 cable and install the ASCOM driver for Gemini. Then just select the Gemini.net driver in NINA, cake. -- Chip Louie
Re: Going Auto with N.I.N.A
Sonny , Justin is right and after few session you gonna love it and say "its the best" . I am 64 years old and now I am connecting to NINA all my equipment with one? Connect > Reconnect All Devices

Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
Hi Sonny, I have an Orion SSAG camera too. Now I'm using some newer design ASI cameras, and I realize how inferior the Orion SSAG is (today... in its heyday it was fine!). The SSAG has some hot

Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
Sonny I do agree that PA improvements will help you basically have field rotation. There is an easy way to visualize this if you still have your original images. Stack them using maximum instead of

Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
Thanks Michael! I finally called it a night at 4 AM. LOL! After the disappointing smeartation, I did venture into PHD 2 and tried out the Drift Alignment Tool. That was easy to use, although I

Are there any MacOS tools like PECprep / PEMPro ? Thanks, Callium

Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
Hi Sonny, If using PHD2, go under the Brain icon, and select either 2x2 or 3x3 median noise reduction. That will eliminate bad single pixels. However I don't think it's that.... I think the rotated

Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
Michael, I think you just inadvertently answered a strange imaging issue I see occasionally. Maybe I'm seeing my guiding locked onto a bad pixel when I get a really smeared image. Could this image

Perhaps what he is looking for can be found in the video titled, "Do I Align or Synchronize"?

Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
Glen. When there is a single bad (hot) pixel in the autoguider camera, there will be no guiding signals sent to the mount. The program will think it is always locked on to the target (bad
By Michael Herman · #67002 ·
Re: Best Way To Determine Periodic Error?
A bad pixel would remain absolutely stationary on the sensor. Hence no guide commands would be issued at all. As far as PHD2 is concerned, the mount would be tracking perfectly.

Re: Can I Sync On A Star And Update the Gemini-2 Plate Model?
That is a demanding focal length for sure. Plate solving is pretty much the only way you are going to be able to pull that off How are you plate solving and what is your image scale? Do you know why

Imaging - 11" Celestron SCT 2800mm FL.? I want to be dead-on when I slew to an object.? Plate Solving doesn't always work.

Re: Can I Sync On A Star And Update the Gemini-2 Plate Model?
yes, but i don't think that is what you need based on what you're saying are you doing visual or imaging? If you are imaging, are you plate solving? -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Re: Can I Sync On A Star And Update the Gemini-2 Plate Model?
Sorry - Maybe I am using the wrong terms.? Assuming Vega wasn't included in my initial modeling and I wanted to slew (GOTO) NGC6663 which is close to Vega and be 'dead-on' NGC6663.? I can first GOTO

Re: Can I Sync On A Star And Update the Gemini-2 Plate Model?
Jim i'm a little confused by your question, what are you trying to do? If you are plate solving you do not need to build a model. When you plate solve, that that performs a sync Remember there are

Can I Sync On A Star And Update the Gemini-2 Plate Model?
Even if I pick 2+ stars each in the East and West and I am real careful about centering the stars during modeling, the Gemini-2 Plate Model may be a little off.? ?How can I Sync on a star or object
