Hi all, The Mount Illuminated Polar Alignment scope in the EXOS2 has a reticule showing Polaris, NCP, and four other little circles that are supposed to be star positions. Does anybody know the names

Wes, I will look into PS Align Pro. Thanks. I have tried different levels in different places on the tripod and mount to try to get it really well leveled. I need a level with a long bubble and I have

Hi Jerry, Yes that is what I do so far. The Mount is EXOS 2. Very nice. Haven't tried it yet out doors with my home built 85mm air space doublet f5.5. Gotta get the cone error down in both RA and DEC

Hi Jerry, Thanks again for the quit getback. I will try your method in CDC later today. Your information re PLEASE WAIT is good to know, but it then implies that ExSt can't be run using serial from a

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately the VIEW - POSITION that you sent me to, only changes the view of the CDC star chart, as I found out a couple minutes ago. Ugh! I have Explore Stars

Hi Bill, I have CDC running and it's fine, but I can't find anything in it to let me go to a particular AZ and ALT, like for instance 00 AZ and 00 ALT. As you say, POTH has limited scope commands, but

Hi, Is there a way in POTH or CDC where I can put ALT and AZ info, so that I can steer my scope to where I want to. ExploreStars has that facility, but I am connected via serial and can't get ES to wo

Built in bubble level is off

On my mount the underside of the mount ( just below where the legs attach ) is paralel with the top of the base where the rest of the stuff sits. So a good accurate 10 inch level can be used to level
