just to be sure, it is the larger ribbed knob that unscrews ? (before I apply too much force on something unmovable) EDIT: found them.. two LR41 cells in series.

Managed to it by unscrewing one screw with the small allan (hex) key. Fitted one 2" extender, and am able to focus now :) The houses opposite my house, distance approximately 100 meters according to G

Djeez, I have no idea how to do that, which screws do I need to use for that ? I'm afraid I will do the wrong ones and destroy the telescope..

#Off-Topic

eehmm, I can't do that. I have no other means to attach the T2 adapter to the telescope .. nothing fits..

I have 3 extender rings, but they don't fit anywhere in the setup.. they're too large in diameter :(

I have no clue. The flattener came without any documentation, and there are no markings on the flattener anywhere. :(

Hi, Where is the polar scope illuminator getting it's power from ? When I power on the PMC8, the illuminator does not light up when turned in the "On" position. Is there a battery involved ? I never u

Hi, last night I finally got round to using my Explore Scientific refractor (FCD100 - 10207 - CF) for the first time, mounted on the Exos2. I have a field-flattener attached, and a T2 adaptor for my S

I think I found the problem. Using the .bat file provided in this thread: https://espmc-eight.groups.io/g/MOUNTS/topic/dhcp_static_ip_issue_with/77617950 does NOT work for me. Everything seems to be s

Chuck, Thanks for your answer, but you didn't read the opening post correctly. The Explorestars application AND it's database are correctly installed on this computer. The database zip has been extrac

Hi Guys, I have the PMC-Eight now almost 2 months, and still have to get my first session under the stars. I still have problems connecting the laptop with explore stars to the PMC-Eight. It has been

Wes, This happened on two very different laptops, that not have been out in the dew at all. I'm not technical enough to find out what the issue is. I only can observe what is happening, which isn't ve

I suspect it's POTH that messes things up. Force-closing POTH with the task manager unlocks Stellarium. Force-closing Stellarium with the task manager does NOT unlock POTH

Ooops, I spoke too soon. I indeed managed to slew to an object using Stellarium. And it is still tracking it (I hear the exos-2 motors spinning) However..... Stellarium is now FROZEN. It accepts no co

After starting everything up this morning, I set the IP-address using the .bat file, configured POTH, configured Stellarium and tried it out. It is working now as it should work. I have no clue why ye

After rebooting the PMC-8, i could not connect to it. Message: "Unable to connect to this network" one available button: Close. I'm done for today, it's late (getting to 1am), and there is a time to s

The term "ip" did not matter. The name of the wireless adapter was. it should not read "Wi-Fi" in my case, but "WiFi 2" I managed to get the IP configuration correct, but now the PMC-8 SSID is nowhere
