Re: Delay before N or S movement, not E or W
Brian, I once tried adjusting the TVC value for this very issue, only to discover that TVC only works when the Speed is set to "Guide". Can you confirm TV works when speed is set to "Center"? -Bill

Re: Losmandy GM8/GM11 Encoder Kit
Mengnan - I believe those encoders are used with DSC devices for visual push to capabilities. I don't believe those are accurate enough to assist in ap guiding. There exist more accurate ones, but

Re: Delay before N or S movement, not E or W
Hi Michael button, the star moves instantly, but when I press the north or south button, there is about a 1.5-second delay before any movement. That sounds like backlash. If you want to reduce that

Re: Start up issues after connecting HC to wrong socket
I think Ports E and F are serial ports similar to the HC port, and the ST-4 autoguider port is just switch closures (probably really FETs) and wouldn't supply power or do damage to anything plugged

Re: Start up issues after connecting HC to wrong socket
It may have just been coincidence that the HC stalled out after plugging it into the wrong port. It might have happened anyway. I have had more than a few mounts glitch out or die on me in the last
