I just put it in the mount related files folder Jerry Hubbell Director Electrical Engineering Explore Scientiifc, LLC.

: Here are the results of the testing we did last month comparing the Ruland coupler to the standard coupler installed on the customer's mount. These measurements were on mounts as delivered from Expl

I just went back and reviewed the data from my previous tests, and realized that the pk-pk values that I got, and that Jeremy got was on the order of 8-10 arc-seconds pk-pk. MY BAD, I misspoke below.

Hi Jeremy, I just looked at your guide logs in PHD Log View and saw that your unguided logs were very smooth. Also in your guided log where you guided for almost 2 hours, the measured error was 0.6" R

Hi Jeremy, So, correct me if I am wrong, but what I am hearing is that you can no longer mount the worm prior to mounting the motor assembly as before, you have to mount the motor assembly on the OPWB

I have just created a new ES Knowledge Base folder called PMC-Eight Technical Documents under the Technical FAQ's foler. I am going to put all the documents there that pertain to the PMC-Eight system

Hi Jeremy, Here is the link to the release notes http://www.ascom-standards.org/Help/Platform/html/EF4E9405-610F-4353-B4C5-11885BF24898.htm You can install the driver or do the platform upgrade in eit

Hi Jeremy, I have verified this a couple of times. Scott Losmandy and Tanya assured us that there is no change necessary to the standard OPWB-11 part to mate up properly to our motor assembly (motor p

Hi Bob, I thought I responded yesterday, but it never showed up. Anyhoo, I developed a calculation for the dynamic adjustment of tracking rate based on the King rate calculation a few years ago for in

Hi Bob, That's good news that you are making progress and everything seems to be falling in place. Thanks for the status update Jerry Hubbell Director Electrical Engineering Explore Scientific, LLC.

Hi Bob, The Rate Offset Parameter, as it is implemented, is a constant applied all the time. The suggested method to measure the value is performed when tracking at the Sidereal rate. You are correct

Here are a few images of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn taken over the past couple of days at the Mark Slade Remote Observatory (www.raclub.org/MSRO/). Our observatory is equipped with the Losmandy/ES G11

I don't know, but I don't think so because the PARK state is separate from the determination of the Slewing state. The PARK state is only true when the PARK command has been sent to the mount and the

Hi Bob, Thanks for the feedback on the install. I know previously some had experienced that the old .dll was not updated and the user had to manually delete or rename the old .dll file and then run th

I have not installed the OPWB yet, but from what I have seen in the forum discussions, it generally make the mesh adjustment easier. You don't have to deal with holding 2 separate blocks with your han

Hi Bob, Sorry about not responding initially, I really didn't have anything to add here. Whatever you need to auto-guide with PHD2 should work when recording the data for calculating the RA drift rate

Hi Jeremy, Yes, we sent one of the PMC-Eight motor assemblies to Scott Losmandy over a month ago and he fit it to the worm block. His statement was that it works with our motor assembly. The discussio

The Losmandy One-Piece Worm Block available at Losmandy's online store has been tested by Scott Losmandy and has been certified for use on the Losmandy/Explore Scientific G11 PMC-Eight Mount System an

Yes, wherever the telescope is pointing when starting up, it assumes that is the NCP and when calculating a move to a star position bases that calculation on this starting point. So if you were to att
