If you have a tablet this is all easy. You set your rate down to 3 or maybe 2. Then you hover your finger over an arrow and look through the eyepiece then press the button a short stab. Mount moves. C

I’m in for the same reason. It’s very difficult to center an object looking back an forth between the eyepiece and computer, especially when you have to contort your body to be able to look through th

Hi All, When I used ExploreStars for scope movement, I found using the “compass rose” as an easier alternative to the up/down/left/right buttons. With just a little practice, you can keep your finger

Hi All, I will also purchase a hand controller if you want to make one. I'm doing visual astronomy. It is really a necessity for slewing around the moon and other objects. The iPad controls force you

Thank you for your quick and honest reply Jerry, I will check out that video. While I'm here I just wanted to say that I'm very happy with my new purchase of an EXOS 2 mount, the hardware is obviously

Hi there, is there a user manual available that is specific to the Android version of ExploreStars? I'm a beginner to astronomy equipment so I need exact instructions as to how these things work, and

Symon The worm is retained by a collet which screws into the end of the worm block. This thing puts a pre-load on the worm bearings, and is often overtightened by the factory. It makes things ratchety

Thanks, I was hoping it would be something straightforward as hitting the plastic post you mentioned but it is definitely inside the mechanism connected to the large gear. it feels like when the botto

Symon, One of the nice things about these mounts is that they don't have a lot of moving parts and are easy to work on and keep in adjustment. The simplest explanation for your click would have been t

Ok so can make it do it manually with no power. If I turn the larger gear with my finger it is smooth and then occasionally goes through a point of high friction - as if it is catching on something in

The second time I tightened up the backlash in my #exos2 mount I noticed the set screws in the R.A. axis belt gears were not tight and one, don’t remember which, had slipped a little on the shaft. I w

Hi many thanks, thought it sounded odd. I've just put in a support request as just got the mount. Not sure I want to strip it just yet in case I do something to the warranty. Symon

Symon No that is not right. Something is slipping or some thing. 1. Suggest you pull it apart and check the set screws that hold the pulleys on the shafts of the worm and the motor. If you look in the
