Hahaha! I was wondering the same and was just short of googling for a plate solver program with the initials “F” and “M”. English language... love it. Regards Op wo 22 jan. 2020 om 21:43 schreef Wes M

Hello Tommy, Short answer is no, it won't work. SharpCap Pro needs an in-camera field of view of between 1 to 2.5 degrees. When plugging your ZWO ASI120MC-S and the Astro Tech AT60ED into a calculator

Considering Tommy uses the iEXOS 100 I'd like to add that if he wants to use the PA method as described by Robert and FishWithFeet above, he should consider buying the optional iEXOS100 Azimuth Adjust

#alignment #iEXOS-100 #sharpcap

Unfortunately his Astro Tech AT60ED + ZWO ASI 120MC-S combination provides far too little field of view to do PA using SharpCap. Alternately, if he uses his Nikon D5600 with the AT60ED the field of vi

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Can you elaborate? Regarding the resulting picture. It looks good Jeff. The core isn't overexposed and there is nice detail. For constructive feedback I would say r

Hi Wes, for clarity, I think you mean 'auto align' instead of 'auto slew'? Btw, the iPadOS version is able to turn off auto align as well. I'm not sure about the current Windows version to be honest.

You should not have the channel dongle inserted in the mount. That might be the cause. Regards Op vr 7 feb. 2020 om 13:07 schreef <johntolliday433m@...>

Well, you are not the first one to make that mistake. I'm guilty as charged. Glad I could help. Btw, I have found the quality of power delivery to the mount is important too to have it function correc

I believe ES has a kit to upgrade a Losmandy G11 with PMC-Eight GoTo capabilities. It’s not cheap, but that’s relative. Maybe you could use that? To be honest, what you want to do might be more troubl

This will depend on the capability of such a converter. I’ve tested with a big powerbank that has a 9 and 12V output option and that seemed to work. On average the power draw was about 5W nominal if I

Thanks Jerry, It's good to know it has reverse polarity protection. But I'm not going to test it! Last year I blew up a €400 synthesizer because I mistakenly plugged in a feed that actually was 9V cen

You should probably watch this ES video completely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_gYiJnEU38&t= It is more about ASCOM over WiFi, but it will make a lot more clear I believe. At 11:38 there is some

Jerry, it's a pleasure to see such an efficient implementation by using a PFET. My faith in humanity has, at least partly, been restored! ;) Makes you wonder why some manufacturers leave it out, proba

Hi Jed, If you want to autoguide without ST4 but with ASCOM you must go the wired way I believe. Correct polar alignment will be important for success, so you need the optional Azimuth Adjuster Adapte

Are these the weights that came with your EXOS-2GT? They look like my Celestron AS-GT mount weights that weigh something like 5.3 Kg. The smaller hole those weights have is about 20.1mm large and the

If it's only the burrs that are in the way I personally would just file them out. Especially if it's only a little bit of material. But that's just me. Drilling them out seems a bit too much though? I

You should have played the A-Team score in the background and it would have taken you only a minute per weight. Only drawback is it would have involved handling random old pieces of rusty equipment, a

Congratulations Jerry and the ES team! It's great and a big deal a company is actually communicating (bidirectionally) with its end users on a forum. Imho that's pretty rare and really commendable! Th

I have noticed my iEXOS 100's metal isn't really magnetic. So any phone's MEMS (magnetic field) sensors shouldn't be bothered too much. Or a classic compass. Be aware of where your compass is pointing
