Lunar Tracking

#1

Post by tmyers »

The Full Moon couple nights ago finally got the best of my imaging, so I just made it my target. I selected Lunar Tracking several times but the Tracking always went back to Sidreal. Is it possible CDC is overriding my Lunar Selection?

Hi,

Possibly... It also may depend on what Ascom driver you are using. I've certainly had success with solar/lunar tracking using the EQ mod Ascom driver. I guess that closing down CDC once you have slewed to your target and then selecting the appropriate tracking rate in SharpCap should allow you to test whether it is CDC causing problems.

Cheers, Robin
