Re: Polar Align with RA/DEC or Alt/Az slew controls?

Thank you. I also found TSX's on-screen joypad is working, but very slowly, so I thought it wasn't moving (daylight helps). I need to dig further as it was set at the highest onscreen speed (512) but was FAR slower than a regular slew. But yes, waiting for AP1100, seems like time is going very ....s...

Re: Polar Align with RA/DEC or Alt/Az slew controls?

Home in MyT is a specific location (kind of west and up) that it uses as an initial calibration so it knows where it is pointing. I don't think it can be changed. Park can be set, but I see only one park position. I think I've really made my approach too MyT oriented, since I have no need in MyT. It...

Re: Polar Align with RA/DEC or Alt/Az slew controls?

Yeah, I can unlock the axes. I'm just trying to do the initial plate solves from inside the house where a computer is. What I do now is go out with a phone where I can see a looping image and crosshairs, and move the azimuth and elevation to make them align. It sounds like I'm doing something simila...

Re: Polar Align with RA/DEC or Alt/Az slew controls?

OK, that's new... I need to look. I looked through the menus and never saw a place to slew manually with sharpcap. That will help a lot. Guess I need to read more of the manual.

Thanks.

Re: Polar Align with RA/DEC or Alt/Az slew controls?

I guess that's part of my problem, is I am mixing two mounts. Right now I have a MyT and don't really need Sharpcap for polar align as tPoint works fine. But I'm learning with it because it is what I have. I have an AP1100 coming where I will need something, as TSX will go with the MyT. I did not ev...

Polar Align with RA/DEC or Alt/Az slew controls?

I'm feeling stupid, like this should be really easy. I just bought the pro version in preparation for a new mount that is coming that lacks an innate polar align. I have now a Paramount MyT which does nicely with tPoint, but I wanted to find out how this works. The Sharpcap polar align seems oriente...
