Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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...

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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...

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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...

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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...

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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.

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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

Re: feature tracking - planetary - feedbacks?
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 ...
