Ah that would be cool, a semi-analog DIY keypad for the mount would be a nice addition. Thanks Wes

Yeah, it hits deeper waters pretty quick. I'm lucky: at my scale, with such a wide field, I can tolerate fairly "meh" average RMS and still have perfect exposures. When I'm working from home, running

I have the heavier duty tripod from ES for my iExos 100 . I have the azimuth adjuster fitted. It took a lot of fettling to get it to fit and I was still not happy with the rigidity of it. I read that

Davesh, Long ago, I was unhappy with my guiding performance. I think I was probably at a Guide Ratio of something well over 1:3 at the time. Jerry advised me that going to a longer-FL guidescope would

If a large Sidereal Rate Fraction guide rate is used in the ES driver you may notice problems with PHD guiding WEST. Specifically, the driver potentially will report the mount is in a slew while being

Bill, yes I noticed what Emory said. I tried the same settings for a while, and then went back to the default. Can’t remember why. Mine works great with mostly the default settings. However, I have no
