Hi Pavel, I have the same issue. Were you able to fix it or did you send the mount to repair? Thanks! David

The motor stutters when there is no load at all on the mount, I went as far as disconecting the drive belt and no change. My next step was to turn the shaft by hand and it grinds on and off per revolu

I think it is time to lock this thread. There are plenty of other forums that are more relevant to DSLR intervalometers and what the best one is for any particular use. Sorry.

Cool, thanks for the answers! Sounds like plate solving is simple enough to do for me and my unpatient self. Will give it a try when the weather is on my side.

Hi chaps, I can assure you that I achieve at least 2 minute ( I can push 3 minutes) exposures without trailing with my very simple set up. My approach is, 1) centrally position Polaris in camera live

Angel You have a power only usb cable I bet. Get a cable you know is a data cable, and try that. Wes.

JR Great work. The finding home procedure you showed is a Manual method of the process I wrote that uses the precision movement capability of the mount. The method is detailed in a paper in the files

Thanks Max! I'll take a look at it - I love this little mount and believe it to have a lot of potential, especially as a travel setup. Brian

Thank you Jerry for the input. That was a question I had about locking onto the brightest star in my FOV with my 50mm guidescope. I will give that a try tonight.

I just picked up the AZ adjuster for my iEXOS-100 mount and polar aligned via Sharpcap. Wow what a difference with the AZ adjuster, so much easier. Thanks for the heads up. I got an excellent my first

Wes, The #2 stars started low in Draco and walked up thru Ursa Major then jumped to Gemini :) I had no trouble aligning at all. The mount tracked great and I actually took a photo of M42 and posted it

So, I decided to see what the Mount could do with just my 300mm Nikon lens, no scope and finally got decent results. I did a rough polar alignment and then a 2 star alignment. Then pointed towards And

Mike PhD advises you to have calibration within 10 or so degrees of Dec =0. Also you should be a few hours off of Polaris in RA. Something like south east at 90-lat altitude is good. In practice thing

Jay, the azimuth plate's azimuth screws push against what I've always called the north post. I've attached a photo as an example. You might be able to overcome the situation by adding a bolt to the wo

Wow! Great photo. I was considering one of these lenses for my T3i as it can't be any worse than the one that came with the camera. They're cheap too so that's a huge plus. Glad to see it can take som
