Here's what I do. * Turn on and set Gemini-2 Lat/Long and Time. * Run PoleMaster and Polar Align. * Model the mount.? I usually pick 2 stars in the West and 2 in the South.? Pine trees are in the

Re: NINA Controlling Losmandy G11. Coordinate are not the same. Why?
What is the process you are using for goto/centering? i was surprised to see using the hand controller in there, so maybe i"m not understanding how you're going about it i can try to replicate here.

Re: NINA Controlling Losmandy G11. Coordinate are not the same. Why?
Brian - I am guessing the 30 arc-seconds.? It could be more.? When I first do a GoTo using the HC and running ASTAP there's no issues.? If the target is out of view ASTAP will plate solve and

Re: NINA Controlling Losmandy G11. Coordinate are not the same. Why?
ah I think i understand now what you're saying so if the result of centering is off. somewhere there is a setting that isn't correct. Something that small could be J2000 is set somewhere it shouldn't

Re: NINA Controlling Losmandy G11. Coordinate are not the same. Why?
My modeling could be better but I don't see how that would cause issues with ASTAP plate-solving and incorrectly recentering the scope.? ASTAP successfully completes the plate solving according to

Re: NINA Controlling Losmandy G11. Coordinate are not the same. Why?
Hi Jim 30 arcseconds? That is quite small Are you able to solve and center to within your tolerance? My centering routines for SGP are larger than what you spec'd around 50" usually if you are doing a

Hi John, Yep, it did. I uninstalled my copy of PHD2 I had been using with my SSAG camera. The idea here was to start fairly fresh with a new copy. Then I downloaded a new copy of PHD2 v2.6.9 for
