I use it on grass. Hard surfaces make me a bit nervous with the tripod. I read a story somewhere (probably here) of one of the angle brackets for the tray...
I've just fitted a Robofocus to my FSQ106-ED I'm using the factory default setting of 20 steps inbound for backlash, could anybody tell me is that the right...
Hi all, I'm new to the group, though not new to astronomy. For the past few years I've been observing through an excellent 6" f/8 Meade newt from the classic...
Hi Dave, Every scope is different and every RoboFocus motor is different. You'll need to experiment to find the best setting. Best, Danny ... default setting...
The best way I've have found to test the backlash on my robofocus: Set backlash to 0 Focus the telescope, note position. Step in 500 steps, and refocus. Then...
Michael and Danny thank you for the replies. Next clear night I'll try that. On 2 Sep 2008, at 07:42, Michael Stauning wrote: The best way I've have found to...
I have received an answer from Takahashi Europe. The situation is reeeeeeeeealy strange and shocking ! Backlash in DEC 4s big is a normal thing for EM200...
I never had the em200 temma jr but I had an em10 temma jr and never had any backlash problem in dec. Same with my em200 temma 2 and njp temma 2. Never had to...
If I may: * 4 arcseconds of backlash in an inexpensive gear train is really quite a good specification. * I wouldn't confuse the fact that you have a...
Hello all, It's been a busy and hectic year for me, so while I've been imaging, it hasn't been as much as I'd like and I haven't had much chance to process my...
- Hello Filip, did yo try to guide your mount? youŽll probably find it works... I had an EM-200 USD3 with similar behavior and worked correctly all the time...
The problem is the Dec. worm is not properly meshed with the Dec. worm wheel. Art Ciampi ... From: sptakfun To: UncensoredTakGroup@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I posted an update to the ASCOM Temma driver, http://ccdastro.com Version changes: Added automatic Meridian flip Added the ability to set clock and other site...
Hi all, Here's an image I took over the weekend with my FSQ: http://www.californiastars.net/gallery/ic1848_40dg_fsq.html The Q and the 40D make a great combo. ...
Hi Danny, That's a beautiful image it's nice to see photographs taken with a similar optic set up as my own, I'm using a standard 10D at the present but the...
Danny, As always, this is a beautiful image from you. You have to be the master with an uncooled DSLR camera. This image shows great color and detail and a...
What do people here (Ron Wodaski particularly) think is "normal, unavoidable" backlash in Dec for a high end mount (in arc seconds)? An EM400? A Paramount? And...
... Paramount? << The Paramount ME has virtually no (not measurable) backlash in either the RA or the Dec axis. Sincerely, Daniel R. Bisque Software Bisque Web...
This assumes you have Maxim. With CCDSoft or other software the technique should be similar. Have your mount balanced in Dec. Orient your guide camera/chip so...
Great technique, will messure my mounts this way. Now my mounts are not Takahashi, but Celestrons (a CG5 and a CGE). Could be done without tracking and a...
Assuming that you have high-quality drive gearing/belts, the issue with backlash involves the mesh between the worm and the gear. On every mount I know of used...
... pretty ... Do you know a way from PemPro to get a number for Backlash? Of if it says "none" does it actually say "less than 1 sec" or whatever? When I ran...
Any suggestions on how you balance a BRC250? I have an STL camera hanging off the back and it makes it very unbalanced. The supplied mounting plate fits...
Hi all, I have recently started to image with FSQ106N using a large format CCD. I have very nice flats in the RBG channels. When I calibrate them they look...
