Plate solve from "home"
OK.....understood. However, seeing that the scope is not synced , the first slew could be quite a ways off from the target and require lots of centering attempts before it is successful. Also, if you...

Plate solve from "home"
Dennis, I see your point. But it looks like your first sync will also likely be way off and require several sync iterations.In my case I have an obs and even if I have moved the scope by hand and have...

Thanks. A lot of work in that project but very happy with the results. cm

I'm not sure what you mean tsx doesn't have backlash compensation for focus? It's built in to the driver not the software. It will be in the settings of what ever focuser you are using.

Syncless center (offset mode) doesn't seem to work for celestron
freestar8n: My impression from looking at the log is that you are simply calculating the sync value yourself and keeping track of it. Well, yes, that's certainly part of it. But that would be rather...

Plate solve from "home"
Yes, that is generally the best option for most if not all targets, but ABSOLUTELY the first target. If your mount generally knows where it is (ie you've parked it or it knows that you're at CWD when...

As I mentioned, if SGP integrates with TSX it will only be as a solver. We will NOT control a camera, telescope (well maybe a telescope), focuser, filter wheel, etc, through TSX. However this is not...

I think you are still missing the point. If you are only looking at the error between where the telescope thinks it is - and where plate solve says it is - and correcting the slew position based on...

SGPro will list any ASCOM cameras installed on your machine (in that same dropdown). If your camera is not listed, then you do not yet have the ASCOM driver installed.

chasmiller46: So I purchased a 130mm f/6 ED triplet lens from APM Telescopes (Germany) and designed and built a new scope. I use APM triplet lenses in my 130mm scope too (although my scope was built...
View ArticleIssue with Nightscape 8300
OK, the 10100 variant of the Nightscape seems to work properly; frame and focus gives a "black" frame, and the histogram for a dark shows most of the pixels at the far left of the graph ... so, I can...

Tolga - backlash can be implemented in the driver or in the focusing software. TSX relies upon the driver having it.Not all drivers/focus modules have backlash, however, even some well known ones do...

OK - Here is a log from my own centering routine - again using only SGP to do the imaging, plate solving - etc. It shows an initial miss on the first slew of 478 arc-seconds - but after taking that...

Yes, but the server is unreachable (from daddog.com).. While I can wait to try again, it sure doesn't sound like SX has addressed this in their install disk
