AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?

Re: McLennan gearbox PE results
Hi! I've looked at the log file both with the PHD2 log viewer and the PEMPro log viewer, and as far as I can see, this is guided data, not unguided. That would mean that this low PE is after guiding,

Re: Pointing Issues
Yet another gotcha: I often use a ZWO ASI120 camera for autoguiding. The USB2 models are inexpensive and very sensitive. ( USB3 ASI120 models do exist at higher cost.) However, the USB2 version

Re: Pointing Issues
I agree. I stuck my dirty fingers where I shouldn't have. About the time I was trying to Polar Align with SharpCap, I think. I know I am my own worst enemy. I need to clean out a lot of programs I

Me Too, Michael! But mine was some errant slew. I was operating remote from my inside Box-O-Rocks. Suddenly it stopped slewing. I went out and found my harness wrapped around the Dec axis. Oy! Come to

Re: Pointing Issues
I don't rightly recall Brian. I think they were in the same area. So much so, the mount did not move much. Which made me think it would be a bad to marginal model anyway. I looked up at gathering

Yes - this totally works for remote sites and also for remote access I was up on Mt Pinos (about an hour from here, but seems farther) and it was terribly cold i was able to grab my setup from my

Okey Dokey, all set. (I hope! LOL!) If I don't manage to make it, look for me wondering around in the parking lot. ;^) (Not really, please continue and don't wait.) I'd like to get the gist of this,

Re: McLennan gearbox PE results
Hi! That is really impressive. And a bit odd, isn't it? If I read the graphs correctly, the first fundamental is far lower in your second situation (the McLennan boxes). But that fundamental should

I spent some time with my GM811G and trying the balance with the scope on the East side, in all positions, and as a matter of curiosity on the West side as well. It seemed to be well balanced
