Hi Harry! So yes, I am happy with my iexos-100 and explorestars, it works nice but like you, I would get 25-45 secs before starting to star trail. Now that it is the time to take photos of galaxies, s

Do you guys use the iexos-100 with guiding phd2 software? I added a exos2 weight on mine sine I cannot find the weights for a while now and I am not sure if this could be causing me guiding problems?

Wes, I was able to: Set the rate fraction to in in the RA sidereal rate fraction on the ascom driver for the mount. Set calibration distance to .50 on the phd2 option (.50 like period 50 not 50, I hop

Chris & Bill, thanks for taking time out to help!! what I do is put the tripod, where the weights go on mount, and place that side right at polaris. I then, since this mount does not have a polar scop

Hi Bill, thank you I will research it because I do not how to do that but what I did notice last night is that the little peep hole in the mount when I put the scope at 90”, it was not open as usual,
