Hello, I am currently writing an application driver that directly reads the stepper angular values of my mount (dec and ra motor). Are there specific functions...
When running MaximDL and The Sky in side by side configuration using POTH, what happens is the when you move the mount East either by hand controller or by the...
Hello, ... Below is a slightly modified version of the routines that are in the ASCOM POTH code. They convert back and forth between alt/Az and Ra/Dec. You...

You can set the backlash compensation in the driver. See the setup menu. By default it is 15 arcsecs. This used to be the AP recommended default. Ajai _____ ...

Hi Jon, One more question. In getting the Alt/Az from the stepper encoder values with an equatorial mount, do i need to add the mount's latitude (angle of...
Thanks Ajai, I found it in there, however, it was moving far more than 15 arcsec, judging by the movement in the EP the amount was in the order of 10...
Hi Jon, Thanks. Could you also put a sample code for encoder to alt/az ? I dont get what you mean by getting the "offset" and "multiply". Thanks again. regards...
Hi, ... Not exactly. Your answers are a function of latitude, but its not a simple add. You're actually rotating spherical coordinates from one frame of...
Hi Derek, Do you have a native RS232 on the lap top, or a USB to RS232 aqdapter. I had nothing but problems with USB to serial, until I bought a desktop with a...
Hi, ... Sure. For the case where the scope is mounted polar axis aligned with the pole the hour angle will be something like: HA = (encoder * scale) + offset ...
