Medin003 As Jerry mentioned the level will impact your goto performance should the mount be tilted west-east. Now I like to think of miss-level as being resolvable into two orthogonal components, one

Brian Hehe sorry I didn’t mean to offend you. Yes the polar scope must be collimated to the ra axis of the mount. It is necessary for its line of sight to be a true indicator of the ra axis pointing..

Nice looking rig Kevin. How well is it guiding? We’d

Todd Be assured the issues you are having are not related to the iexos. Some have indeed found the new ascom version is bugged. With POTH in ascom 6.4 I have had occasional POTH crashes. But these are

Why would you think not?

I have always thought that more mass on the load would be better. Yes you will during slew experience more tortional twisting of compliant shafts etc. but the increase in mass will decrease resonant f

Jeff: Nice pic! 1. If stars are displaying comma in all four corners then yes, a field flattener will address that. 2. If you have comma in pne corner and not others then that might be an alignment is

Dan Nice image. Two of Leo triplet?

Bob Explore Scientific takes the position that third party software is not something they support. In the case of ascom they made and support their driver to enable use of the broad spectrum of ascom

Bob Stellarium will not natively operate the mount. You must go through ascom or indi. Ascom is for pc only. Stellarium 19.3 will connect through ascom ok it seems. Earlier versions needed a piece of

Sorry Dave. I was so overcome with the image I lost ability to type. Really nice. Sharp focus to, what with the spider flare and all. I love to see those things on the bright stars in a nebula picture

Bob Good advice from folks. As for using the Big Dipper stars...one will be good but please don’t use two. Alignment calcs need more separation, especially in Ra. The app generally does a good job of

Bob: OK, we all see your frustration. But you have to start from a place of understanding many people own this mount and it works well. Obviously it would not point 90 degrees off unless something you

I believe all you need do is press the GOTO button. It will flip if you do this after the mount has tracked past meridian. Maybe also just toggle to point mode from track mode to cause a flip. Track m

#EXOS2

so does explorestars do the flip only in point mode or also in track mode? Wes

#EXOS2

cool. good to know.

#EXOS2

Explorestars does not do a meridian flip as I recall. What you do is when the mount passes meridian, you do another GOTO the target. Explorestars will flip then as needed. Wes.
