Thank you, Robin. Still no chance to try to generate a log yet.

The mount had just been mechanically adjusted the day before to remove all but the smallest amount of backlash (a little is needed to avoid binding). I don't believe the EQMOD software has any backlash compensation, at least none that I can see on the setup while not connected to the mount at the mo...

Robin, Yes, it was measuring them just fine. The rates are just very different, by almost an order of magnitude, like 60 vs 8. Can’t say i understand it, as it does not match my experience of manually slewing with the hand controller or the screen controls. I was easily able to manually bump the poi...

I tried to use Feature Tracking for the eclipse today with my Vixen GP. The mount was just adjusted yesterday by a very experienced guy to remove all but the tiniest bit of backlash. The movement on both axes is as smooth as butter. But SharpCap couldn't calibrate Feature Tracking because the rates ...

Hey now. I didn't promise anything. This is Robin's show and he has a million things to do. So don't get your hopes up. :O)

It would be awesome though. ;O)

A defocused "donut" will get you to rough collimation. It won't get you to the accuracy required for planetary imaging. I developed an idea for turning the planetary live stacking method into a full blown dedicated tool for collimation that should hopefully be easier to use than Metaguide....

Seconded. :O)

Thanks, Robin.

It's not that fast. It can take of order an hour for the whole mosaic to execute.

Robin,

Would it be possible to add a checkbox to the mosaic planner to automatic refocus between panels using the last successful autofocus settings?

Thanks,

Mike
