The mount will chew through rechargeable batteries. If you're taking it to the field then get one of those larger powerbank / powertanks. If its in the back yard, get a 12v power supply and an extensi

Hi... I wrote a walk through for the IEXOS-100 which you can find in the files section to the left in the user contribution section. It has pictures and descriptions. I tried side by side and found it

Only one driver can connect to the mount at a time...that driver has to be the ASCOM driver for the mount. Then you run POTHHUB which then connects using ASCOM to the driver. Other software like SGP o

Koen, check out my walkthrough document in the files section under user contributions...It might help you,

I have used Starry Night Pro 8 with the IEXOS-100 over serial. It's not my usual setup...I got into the habit of using Stellarium and AstroPhotographyTool, but I have used it in the past.

Oh, I have also tried the L-bracket approach too as shown by Peter Zelinka: https://www.peterzelinka.com/blog/2019/4/auto-guiding-with-the-skyguider-pro

Some are better at it than I am, but I was never able to get side-by-side balanced well enough for me. I found a longer dove tail with the guide scope mounted under worked really well. It's a much che

For sure. If you can't see out of the peep hole after you rotate one of two things could be happening. First, something in the peep hole like wires or something might be moving to block it. Second the

Ah right...got it....yes, you adjust the physical mount in the way you described. Sounds like you have everything in order.

You will polar align with sharpcap...you don't move to targets during that process. I'm not sure why you need to worry about the dec/ra marking...I don't, but maybe i'm missing something. I would add

Hi Edwin...the PHD forum is very responsive when I used it. Don't forget...dark frames, calibration and focus.

PS... I'm going for a little levity because the dude from Norway put a real funk over this group.

Rainy Monday afternoon and I'm into my second beer as I watch a YouTube video about logarithms. Running everything as administrator is akin to running with scissors while being chased by a zombie. Gen

Well said Wes. C

I have that camera as well and the setup in PHD looks like this where PHD connects directly to the camera and to POTH to access the mount.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: I might say this another way. Polar alignment is a phyical process to correctly place your mount. It is independant of star alignment and any software you use for image

You're absolutely right. Another thing that doesn't get much air play is the height of the OTA. The higher the OTA (further it is from the fulcrum because really this is just a lever) the more "weight

I seem to remember that as well. I plate-solve now so I don't botter with manually moving it. There is a mount panel in POTH you might try: Also...Plate solving will change your life and you can build
