Tim: Why is there a pause? When we encounter these behaviours, I often ask myself this: What does this all mean? And then I remember these insightful and helpful words: The whole building is a huge,

I have added POTH to my setup so I have control of the EXOS-2GT with both CC and SharpCap. With the accuracy of the Plate Solving in SC, I seldom slew around anymore, but the few times I have had to

They can be found for as little as $46 cad and green. They are used to sight scopes to rifles. Very accurate if the bore is.

22 = 5.6mm. These can be found to fit 177 caliber which is 4.5mm

I was thinking of that too, but it is a small bore for a laser pencil to sit in.

I have no idea what the diameter of the tunnel is but would a laser bore sight work. They are available in many sizes, prices and green as well. Search laser bore

I observe about 40 miles from my home and no WiFi except for the PMC8 network. The longitude and and latitude data is saved from when my iPad was connected to my home network but is off by a good

FWIW, I use ExStars on an iPad, WiFi only. I have no problem using the “Load GPS...” button to load my location each time I observe. In fact, sitting on my couch just now reading this discussion

Thanks Harry, I use an app on mi iPhone also to put in the coordinates on my iPad. But as I said the screen to enter the coordinates on ExploreStars does not in crude a minus signal. I only included

Here is how I "polar aligned" my 100 last week...it worked like a charm. Granted I was using a 70-200 lens set at 70 lens but it worked well. -- Mounts: Explore Scientific IEXOS-100 w Celestron CG5

Hi Bruce, I use both an iPad (with cellular), and a Fire HD8 (wifi only). I believe you are correct that a wifi only cannot determine or display GPS data that ExploreStars requires. However, when I am
