Dome geometry for Slaving - "off center" guide scope
Hi Dave, Perhaps someone may come back to you with a nice mathematical formula.....but while you are waiting on that, why not just experiment. How critical this is, really depends on how wide your...
View ArticleGuider Never Reports "Settled"
@Ken, @Jared, Not sure if you have looked at this, but as additional info, I was able to run a sequence by changing these settings: 1) kept the settling time un-ticked2) changed pixel threshold to 1.0...

@Jared, This morning, I updated the thread that I started about this. I have since modified my sequence so I can't share it with you. However, I can tell you that I wondered about this, so while...

Here what I've noticed with PHD2 not reporting settling to SGPro and not sure if this is what you're experiencing. I typically have my focus complete and PHD2 guiding before I start my sequence. Once...

AVX mount and NexRemote
Jim_Thommes: I use the AVX ASCOM driver. Where did you find "AVX ASCOM driver"? The only NexStar ASCOM driver I can find is Celestron Unified ASCOM driver at:...

After further investigation, I think it would be easier to download a free software called "Stellarium Scope". This is an interface between Stellarium and ASCOM mount driver. I believe that's what I...

Hi John First off - I am using SGP v2.5.1.17 too! Not sure where the previous version number came from. I see two camera entries in the drop list which for me are simply called ASI224(1) and...

Mats, With Pixinsight you don't align manually. You use Pixinsight's registration process, and, together with gradient merge; it'll stich your panels together. Best of luck. Also: Warren Keller has a...

That is interesting. I will try that. I wonder if changing the value is perhaps forcing it to be re-read and possibly correcting the odd value that is reporting in the logs? Obviously, this is purely...

It's my understanding that all Celestron mounts using NexStar are required to be initialized by either Hand Controller or NexRemote first before ASCOM can be used. In other words, you cannot power up...

I have a related question. I used 2.5.2.4 and dithered every two frames with metaguide as the guider - and it invoked the settle delay even on frames that did not dither. Is that how it is intended to...

Yes, that is correct. I forgot that step. With the way I'm setup I simply do a "quick align" with NexRemote. Once aligned I can use either Stellirum to point the mount or let SGPro do the slew to,...

Peter,Sorry, I was very imprecise in my use of the term "AVX ASCOM driver". I am using Celestron Unified (6.0.5412, Feb 2015). Yes I am behind in updates. So yes, other than it being a more recent...
