Les, Brian, I used to eyeball it but that gave me sort of inconsistent results, stacks on stacks as it were. I was already guesstimating the position to position the reticle based on the constellation

Brian, We have more common experiences than is allowed here. I just left them in the mounts NOT because I'm lazy but mostly due to inertia. Because - a) they don't get in the way, b) by leaving them

You can also swap the worms. Sometimes the DEC worm will be better (half the time in general!). Better if you can perform a PE evaluation and quantify the PE of each worm. New brass high precision

The ?stars are gradually moving in one direction. Have a Feathertouch focuser that I lock down after focus. I always retighten Alt and Az after Sharp Cap polar align and check for any changes. I'm

Thanks Michael, I'll swap the RA and Dec Motors and see what happens as I mentioned the RA worm gear is questionable. Thanks!

Thanks Michael, I found it. Tom

you can kind of eyeball the precession too fortunately my reticle is good through 2030

An out-of-date polar scope reticle will work fine for visual use. Even if it’s 40 years out of date, the resulting polar misalignment will cause a drift of only a few arc seconds per minute. -Les

Chip i think you and I have/had a similar experience! i'm very lucky and fortunate i kept my polar scope, mostly out of laziness haha. but now I picked up a LW tripod and hope to do more interesting

Hi Brian, I found it funny that the PoleMaster was so amazingly essential to me that I almost sold off all my Losmandy Polar scopes thinking who needs them? But I also came to realize that if I'm not

Hi Tom The PECprep.exe is made by the EQMOD owners group for the Orion EQ6 mounts. Please look for links to download EQNOD and you will find PECPrep there in the list of downloads. It will analyze PE

Clicking through your subs in rapid succession can reveal a lot. - If the stars are gradually moving in one direction, it is most likely - Polar misalignment.? If your polar alignment looks super in

One thing to be aware of is that the ball end is very delicate. I snapped the end off tightening the setscrew on my Oldham coupler and the broken piece was the devil to get out. Understand why they do

Michael, your attached document suggests downloading PECPrep.exe. The link in the document didn't work for me. It eventually takes me to Sourceforge where it downloads TrueVoiceSounds.zip. Do you have

Michael, You are supposed to rotate the polar scope to position the reticle tic marks in the appropriate location using the constellation lines to approximately orient the reticle before moving the

Where I live, I found a shop that sells individual Allen keys, coz I want to keep my Bondhus set intact.? I bought two sizes; one for the motor and one for the worm gear bearing block, and cut off a

okay thanks for the update Peter we have your vid as well, looking at it wrote: -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com <http://brianvalentephotography.com>

Ah thanks. I understand now!

I'm sure I attached the motors correctly because they operate fine.? The motors appear to be totally seated.? The ball end of the allen wrench is only on the long end of the allen wrench, not the

Brian, Sorry, you misunderstood me, I believe the current design is the best solution. It keeps the telescope out of the way of your head but not so far as to be in the way of other things. Paul
