Hi Mike The mounts a celestron cgx-l equatorial so a good mount and would recommend it needed a large mount for the weigh as it sits on there with a williams gt81. The meade I got second hand as a ota only from a sky at night presenter, only thing that let's my system down is guiding I use oag but f...

Hi Robin As to you question what happens with the barlow if you use a slower movement rate for calibration (perhaps even down to the guiding rate?) That should cancel out some of the effect of the barlow in making the object move faster/further. I get the same error about movement rates so not match...

Hi Mike Yes that guiding screen does not look correct it shows guiding there was movement and then no correction. Once i get calibration to work mine guides well i am too using a 14 inch scope a meade ACF. The only time you should get a display movement and no scope movement is if its in the dead zo...

Hi Robin Been using tracking for a while so posting some feadback. Calibration does not work very well with any kind of mag from a barlow. i have been calibrating with out it first then fitting camera and barlow after. i think it the case of the tracking rate set to say 16x to be able to get calibra...

Hi Robin

I finally got one to work at x4 full disk view of the sun, it seems it does not like any mag using my barlow at x2 at all. is there a way to save the calibration to load at a later date, i take it if i don't move the camera (rotate) it should remain the same

Hi Robin I tried all speeds up to x16 must say at that speed image does bounce a little bit during movement so may be too fast but i can get RA to pass but it fails at DEC see below. Not sure why Sharpcap has an issue such a bad time find mount direction i use PHD2 all the time never had any issue w...

hi robin

got you, it was set to 1x will try once cloud clears and get back to you

hi robin

i see it now "movement speed" how would that effect speed changes in just one dirrection. i though my log indicated speed is different directions.

hi robin

i can't seem to find this drop down for tracking can you help a little with finding it, i did read the attached manual but again can't find the menu. i can see rate under telescope control menu. there is no drop down i can find on the top left of the feature tracking menu

Hi Robin there may be a bug with POI tracking then i tried multiple times and i need to select calibrate before guiding is enabled to select in POI i don't thing calibrate in fact does anything in that mode but as soon as i hit the that button guide changes from grey out to selectable. i will check ...
