There are a few things that are needed when using the ASCOM driver that have been discussed a lot over the three years since this forum has been available. Also, there are several knowledge base artic

Hi Mark, Thanks for the detailed replies. For my case, I do have excessive backlash or rather, loose gear coupling, since I purposely left the RA mesh extra loose with an East heavy weight bias to see

AndreaB I wrote details of connections SkySafari in reply to you last night . Hopefully you received it. It shoukd be posted on the forum. Long story short SF does not have a Pmc8 option. It uses Mead

Trevor, I'm really surprised that you ended up with a loose adjustment - it sounded before like you had things sorted out. If it's now as loose as you describe, then all I can think of is either shims

Hi will do the same ephemeris check on the Android, it should be pretty much the same because the ephemeris code is identical across the platforms. Thanks

This is an off-topic post. I would remind those new to Groups.io that there is a "Help" button at the top right side of the window. Please use it as needed.

Hello, I am writing about a deviation that I observe when using the EXOS-2 with Explore Star APP for Android from the southern hemisphere. I set up the station with polar finder with Sigma Octantis, a

I have been reading everyone's battery suggestions and I thought I would add a bit of data to the mix. I installed a power meter on my PMC-8 Exos2 so that I could see my total current draw from 12 vol

Hi Chris, I am showing my electrical engineering bias, when you said schematic, I thought you meant electrical, not mechanical, LOL. I do have a mechanical drawing of the iEXOS 100, but not of the EXO

Bob, No filters. Astro modified Canon 60D. I just ordered a 48mm screw-in Astronomix CLS-CCD filter. We will see how this works out.

Wes, The attachment of the extension to the mount takes a different approach. The top plate is attached to the extension tube with 3 threaded hex bolts. To attach the pier to the mount you remove the

I did shoot some test shots of andromeda. The back ground was completely saturated at 210 seconds. Shot an hours worth at 60 seconds. Darks and bias. I did not shoot flats. I only shot the darks and t

Gents, A longer scope is more likely (not certain) to have oscillation problems, not a dampening effect. Plus it is more likely (not certain) to act as a sail in breezes. The cross section (diameter X

Up here at AHSP. Well the weather has been poor sadly. So I cannot report progress on the alignment idea. Blah. Probably running for home tomorrow to prep for Dorian. Testing to follow after that mess

I don’t have the PMC8 system – they came out with it after I was already equipped (some gear going back to 1960s). In most scopes hand controls it is under Utilities or Settings. In the old EXOS-2GT (
