Question is whether or not there is a difference between these two, if so what and does it matter. I am looking to mount some on my GPD2 mount. Thanks y'all. ...
They are exactly the same. Only the mechanical mount they are bolted to is different. "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson ...
Good Day, I am curious if anyone on this forum has successfully created and installed a spacer on their DEC axis to allow more freedom of movement for 492 DS...
I have machined about 5 spacers for other people over the past several years. "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network...
Good Day, I just ordered today from a vendor a pair of 1/4" shaft couplers that I plan to use to interface my Meade 492 DS drives to my telescope mount, Orion...
I have not had a request for a spacer for that mount. "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design Engineer 5432 E....
In theory, would a spacer be practical or feasible? Thanks, Keith From: RoboScope@yahoogroups.com [mailto:RoboScope@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher...
It is practical *and* feasible. However it is not *mandatory*. Many people do without and just watch their motors closely to make sure a mount crash doesn't...
I have examined my GEM carefully but I cannot find a method to dissemble the DEC axis to install a spacer. Do you know how my SkyView Deluxe EQ is classified...
Here is a description of my GEM. Thanks, Keith From: RoboScope@yahoogroups.com [mailto:RoboScope@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Erickson Sent:...
I believe that the DEC axis can be split from the RA axis via two bolts. Or at least that is how the Vixen GP class mounts and all of the Chinese clones I...
G'day chaps; The following information is being distributed to Astronomy Clubs in our area. Please give it a read. I'm hoping you will help support this very...
I wouldn't fancy trying to weld to the alloy castings that are used in many mounts! IF the mount is similar/identical to the EQ3-2, the DEC axis is held in ...
I haven't had one of these apart, but the smaller GEMs often had the DEC axle housing and the RA axle made from one casting or have a stud that threads into...
my alt motor is working just fine. the az motor on my ds2000 mount is not and I have no idea what is going on. here is what is happening: when I remove the...
Have you recalibrated the motors? Just a thought. "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Network Design Engineer 5432 E....
Jeremy, just a thought, but you might try reflashing your Autostar. Could well be a screwup in the code. Fred ... goes max. ... is ... when set ... I set ... ...
Or, having just had one hang up yesterday, you might remove the cover and clean the contact points associated with the buttons. Only do this, tho', if you...
thanks, I tried this twice. it didnt do anything. I dont think the problem is with the hand pad itself. if I use the scope and motors as though they are...
The motors are interchangeable I think. If the problem moves then it is the motor. If the problem does not move then the problem is the controller. Dr....
