Re: AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?
Gang, There is a problem when you try to do polar drift alignment, loosening the big lockdown 3/16-18 bolts if the AZ and Elevation. They are either too tight to adjust the mount, or too loose to

Re: AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?
[AMD Official Use Only - Internal Distribution Only] I tried swapping knobs between sides to see if the problem moved. As you might expect, rather than moving or staying put it went away

Re: McLennan gearbox PE results
As far as I know that¡¯s what you¡¯re supposed to do isn¡¯t it? Run PHD2 with guiding turned on and then give the log to PecPrep to analyse? If I did it wrong ¨C I hide my head in shame ¡­

Re: AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?
I got a set of AKS knobs by mistake. Rather than return them, I did a follow up order of the TKS knobs I originally wanted. I pulled one of my AKS (Altitude Knob Set) and measured the protrusion of

AKS altitude knobs - which washer(s) ?
[AMD Official Use Only - Internal Distribution Only] While cleaning up the "scope corner" I found a set of Losmandy AKS altitude lock knobs which I had ordered but didn't think I had ever received.

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: McLennan gearbox PE results
I get that - I think some of the difference is that I hadn't lapped the bearing in the further worm block for a sliding fit in the earlier data I no longer have the PHD2 log files for the 2014

Re: Pointing Issues
I have heard a number of issues regarding the "earlier" ASI120 model, loads of them in the PHD forums i try to steer clear of that particular mode I think michael is right, the newer version seems

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

well, we know you can plate solve, your camera, settings, and mount all checked out so something must have changed :) wrote:

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,

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
