Good question... In daytime, the trouble is that the sun's path is not on the perfectly same path as the Earth's rotation, as the sun will appear to be moving higher or lower in the sky during the

Any thoughts on including how to polar align during the day for solar use or at night if you don't have a view of Polaris?

One last update just in case any crickets are listening. -- I was able to resolve the issue tonight. Starizona took a look at images of my corrector plate alignment and said it looked good, so I

Thanks John, Brian. The crickets were becoming deafening! I'll try those other places for info. This hobby can definitely have it's challenges, that's what makes it so rewarding once you overcome

Jaimie you might check out the AP user forums, there was a fairly robust discussion of sensor tilt and what to do about it (cone error was also an issue discussed here) i think it's worth a read (you

Nothing but crickets so far, I see, Jamie. You could try the standard online forums or contact Starizona. You may wish to go to Astrobin and see who is producing good photos with the same equipment

Pete, I replaced my RA steel worm with a new precision brass one. I did other improvements too, such as putting in new R4ZZ ABEC7 Quality rated RA bearings, a (old version long style) Losmandy OPW,

Brian, I think this is a great idea.? As you probably know my 1992 G1? is new to me as is the Gemini-1 system it came with.? I am running firmware 4.10.5 and I generally connect my mount via ASCOM

PS - generally speaking, the alignment of the constellations is the starting point to get the rotation and position roughed in and get polaris placed in its slot. Then you would refine your adjustment

The tightening of the Alt bolts is a problem for me as well.? There are 4 of them, I tighten one after another slowly and alternating trying to keep the PA as close as possible.? Nowadays when I

Hi Andrew - okay great we'll cover this Yes, at the end you do want to have the bolts tightened, but you iterate: keep them somewhat snug at the start, then adjust your polar alignment, then tighten a

Hi Les, This is REALLY helpful. I was in the dark on the ref ticks and what was represented by the numbers. There was a concern that my scope may have been “expired”, but I see it’s not. This

Will do Brian. I hope the is a definitive software solution, especially since PoleMaster would be used most frequently by those with portable setups away from home.

let us know how it goes John You might also doublecheck you have your Windows 10 on the latest updates -- Brian Brian Valente portfoli
