ConeSharp Question

#1

Post by mike77345 »

I have a fairly simple question in using ConeSharp. In the online description the descriptions are fairly clear, but I was confused by how to make the adjustments. Do you use your hand controller to move the scope, the alt az/dec, dove tail screws, etc. at each step and are different methods used at each step? I would like some instructions on steps 4, 6 and 8 on how to perform the alignments.

Other question I had. Is the procedure including what to use for alignment specified by ConeSharp on the computer screen at each setp?

I would just like to have a better idea of what I need to do before attempting to use ConeSharp. :?:

Hi,

all adjustments are to be made using the hand controller until right at the very end where you are told to move the end of the scope in/out - those adjustments are to be made using the dove tail bolts.

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin - just one more thing. At each step does it tell you which method to use on PC screen (HC vs dove tail?)

Well, it does tell you explicitly to use the dove tail screws in the last step on screen. All the other steps need you to use the planetarium app or handset/PC movement buttons, but they don't explicitly say so.

cheers,

Robin
