Hi Phil I think the warning is that Dec could not move enough in south direction. It successfully calibrated if you could guide after that. If you have a guidelog to post i'm happy to look at it

There is a good video that Scott posted back in 2015 showing how to find the CWD position with a little two axis bubble level that you can find in most hardware stores. I’ve been using this method

Good to know, thanks! All my prior experience is with the CPC1100 alt-az mount (which I deforked for this); moving to an EQ mount is a learning experience, in a good way!

Hi, I have only had 2 nights since Mar with no cloud.? I lost both of them to something that sounds similar.? PHD2 could not calibrate DEC, and when I started guiding, it showed a classic control

and you shouldn't need to sweat it any further. If there is any problem with Dec guiding in PHD2 or whatever you are using, then you might revisit the Dec balance. The balance does not need to be

LKO, What you are seeing I think is typical behavior for balancing. Since RA has some downward weight going into the clutch disc, there will be some stiction and it will not swing perfectly free. With

Thanks Kirk. This looks like a handy gadget made for the task. John --

New G11G user here. Been setting up my new mount, and have run into what seems like a strangeness in balancing in DEC. Watched the video, and balancing in RA was easy. Now I'm at the point where I've

adjust the mount to center image on the main camera, and then plate solve you would obtain (p2 - p1) the planet position offset in RA/DEC. Yes, more or less ;) My goal was to be able to do planetary

Finally got a reasonably good night and after updating PHD2 and finding a good star in NE soon noticed that DEC was drifting which increased over exposure time. I am using a STi as a guider. My

There is a gentleman, Buckeyestargazer, who sells a dual bubble level ( https://buckeyestargazer.net/Store/Level-G11.php ) for $14 that " snaps in place over the screws on the RA housing of a G11

A raspberry 4 with either the astroberry distro, or the stellarmate distro works great. It's not exactly the same as the asiair, but it's the same general software stack and hardware. --

Interesting extension, how did you align the guide camera to the narrow field main camera? It also seems like a pretty small guide scope should work and provide a larger field.? At least with a small

Ross, Did not find your ad. I see folks paying $80 or more $ on Astromart for this item. I wonder if they know they are in stock here with free shipping. I just bought one.

Following up my comment on using plate solving, I am setting up a new planetary telescope: Edge HD11 with an ASI462mc planetary camera and 2-3x barlow (2x used in this example). The imaging fov is

Hi guys these items are not in stock when i looked on the losmandy site last week. So if you want one, i have an ad on astromart. Ross
