Ladies and gentlemen The PMC Mount at its best!
I have just started imaging the bubble nebula, the guiding in PHD is below 0.5 RMS! 0.44 RMS to be precise
That is with a 8 inch 200pds sitting on top

Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing your image. I must however point out that this is the PMC-Eight forum. You don't appear to be using a PMC-Eight mount so this thread is not related to this forum.

This is a good question
1. The larger the aperture the more photons you collect per unit time
2. The shorter the focal length the larger fov of a fixed pixel size in the imaging

Hi Bogdan,
thanks. After flashing the FTDI chip the connection from EKOS to EXOS2 works via serial. And surprisingly: I was able to switch back to Wifi with the flashed cable. I used CoolTerm, there

Yes, it’s at the lower right. I should try to find a way to blink at a faster rate. Might be easier to see.

thanks for your answer. I’ve checked minicom, but then the I found „cuteCom“ which has a GUI and for only one command it’s easier than minicom. With my IEXOS 100 it works.
