Thanks, Robin.

The turnaround on this one will be a tad slower than the last. We are getting -35C windchills and a mess of blowing snow. I will power up the dome after I have been able to dig into it to see how much snow got pushed in through the cracks... (I vacuum it out). Winter used to be fun... wonder what happened?

Hi Greg,

No hurry – that sounds like some serious whether you are having so keep safe and warm from it and give it a test when you get a chance.

Cheers, Robin

Robin,

Not much of a test, but it didn't blow up this time so I suspect your latest could have addressed the problem. After checking the dome for snow, I powered things up, installed the new version and connected to the mount. Moved it around a bit using the directional arrows in Sharpcap -- no nastygrams. Big progress... thanks. Now the next time I can actually use the scope I can give it a better test. But for now it superficially appears that we are ok.

Regards,

greg

Hi Greg,

That sounds very promising – if it's moving the telescope mount around then I think it should all be working now. Did you get a chance to test it as all the 3 possible speeds? That's the only thing that I would be concerned about not falling into place now the main problem is fixed.

Cheers, Robin
