HI folks, I just received my EOS2 mount and am trying to test it indoors due to adverse weather. I'm a complete beginner but learning fast. My issue is that the DEC axis only seems able to slew a few

Thank you so much Rick and W.F.! That of course worked. Having no experience with an equatorial mount it made sense to me that locking the clutches would stop the motors from moving the telescope, as

Hi there, is there a user manual available that is specific to the Android version of ExploreStars? I'm a beginner to astronomy equipment so I need exact instructions as to how these things work, and

Thank you for your quick and honest reply Jerry, I will check out that video. While I'm here I just wanted to say that I'm very happy with my new purchase of an EXOS 2 mount, the hardware is obviously

Hi all, I'm having Alignment issues, I just bought an EOS-2 PMC-8 mount a week or so ago and am still struggling to get it to basically work. ( I always preface with the fact that I'm a complete begin

Thanks for that Mikas, yes I get what you're saying, stick to basics at first, just get it to slew roughly to something. I thought I had gone through that stage with using the SYNC button to align on

Last night, the DEC axis motor system on my new Exos 2 PMC-8 mount seemed to develop a problem and stopped moving that axis at all. I tested it again this morning and it's the same. The clutches were

Thank you very much for those notes Robert, and for your reply Tony. I will read your notes and see if I can fix it, whatever it is. My only concern is that if I attempt a repair or open the motor hou

#EXOS2

Yes I did that Tony, nothing to see, the belt is in place, the cogs turn. Unfortunately the Dec motor system started making a loud repetitive click last night as I suppose it is trying to track but ca

#EXOS2

Well I fixed it, took me while as I'm not used to doing any mechanical stuff, and finding the right hex keys etc. but it was exactly as Robert had predicted, both of the set screws holding the large p

Tony, I got to the Orion Nebula using just the Telrad ( which is an amazing tool ) and loosened clutches, which is how I'd been it before getting the EXOS-2 PCM-8. I started about a month or so age us

Hi All, this is my first real attempt at astrophotography, using the EXOS-2 PMC-Eight Mount I recently bought, which after a few initial glitches seems to now be working quite well. it's of the Orion

Hi AnonAstron, I was wondering if you could please post the exact setup steps you take to get Kstars to work with the INDIGO Server app. I am a beginner to all this. I have the INDIGO Server App up an

Hi All, thank you for your replies. My issue is more basic than using a serial cable at this point. Right now I just want to connect to my equipment in Kstars, using the WIFIi connection to the EXOS-2

Ok so I've been able to save a profile using the default name only, and load it into the EKOS screen, and on that screen I have got the Nikon DSLR to connect. However ( screenshot attached ) there doe

Wow that worked!! I am very grateful to you Mirko, thank you! Kstars is now slewing to to the selected object. That option seemed so completely counter intuitive to me that I didn't even bother trying

Hi Everyone, First just a big thank you to all he experts here for helping beginners such as myself get started. It would be so much harder without you! Ok, so since I last posted on this thread I hav

Hi all, thought I'd post this as I've been trying to learn to take pics for 6 months now and after what feels like a long haul this is really the first one I'm quite satisfied with for the level of eq

Hi Kev, After about 6 months with the EXOS2-PMC8 and a 200DPS scope, my experience is that it is possible to get good guiding with this setup, I frequently get 0.80" total error on PHD2. ..but it is v
