Hi combatsniper, The ExploreStars application provides a 2-star or 3-star "virtual alignment" function which is an "all-sky" type of alignment using the stars of your choice. There are also plenty of

Here is a link to a message from last year where I speculate on the weight capacity for the iEXOS 100 mount using the larger tripods. I imagine a lot of members that have joined since then have not se

I have not been monitoring this thread, it appears to have gotten way off topic. Please start another thread if you wish to continue talking about connectivity issues. Thanks

You must realize that you cannot move north from the north celestial pole. All directions are south. You cannot move east or west either away from the north celestial pole (NCP)

Hi Jennifer, James, Yes, I think in order to send manual pulse guide commands, you may have to connect the camera, although I have not tried using the manual guide without the camera to see if that is

Hi jeverson.biz, Even though the ASCOM driver can be connected via WiFi, we always suggest that it is better and more reliable to connect via a USB serial adapter cable. The configuration is also bett

Hi jeverson.biz How are you connecting the mount to PHD2? Are you using the legacy ST4 cable? If so, I suggest you connect via the ASCOM driver instead of using "On camera" as it may be that your came

Thanks Wes, I was frustrated because groups.io scales the image down due to the restrictions on image sizes allowed (I set the limit). I added a link to my OneDrive to download the full sized image. H

Early on Thursday and Friday morning I captured the 20 and 21 day old moon (full disk) with the MSRO configured as it always is as a deep-sky system. The FOV of the camera is 1.3-deg x 0.9-deg with an

There is no platform specific user manual for ExploreStars. We have created videos that are on your YouTube channel and linked a couple of other videos on our website. We dedicated one of our OpenGOTO

Hi axlzerox7 (Please see this message: https://espmc-eight.groups.io/g/MAIN/message/3828 ) You need to use the ASCOM program POTH to connect to the PMC-Eight first, and then connect all your ASCOM cli

Hi Salvo, Based on what I saw in the video, the end cap of the small pulley seems to be wobbling as you say, but again, we need to do a measurement to see if the pulley is actually not concentric on t

Hi Salvo, I would caution you to not jump to conclusions as the only way to really understand the impact of the pulley, which we have investigated a lot, is to get a guide log from your system. By ana

Hi Salvo, Welcome to the forum! What focal length are you imaging at? Are you autoguiding? If you are using PHD2, can you post the guide log for us to take a look at? If you are not autoguiding then t

Hi Alan, The correct answer is that you use the ASCOM driver and select "Enable WiFi TCP/IP" as shown below. The default IP address and port should work fine. No need to change the communications chan
