Thank you so much Jeff and Gary! Gary: I know that Chuck's Temma driver has non-sidereal rates as well, but I'm using the standard Temma II driver supplied...
Hello Emanuele; Glad to hear that the Sky6 Temma Driver does Comet Rates. I agree with you---"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ... well, but I'm using the ... ...

Very Nice - Now I am excited! I am hoping to pick up my FSQ-85 next week. How did you connect your STL11k to the FSQ? Does the image fill the chip (no...
I built up a Guider cable to run from my ST402 to the EM200-2 with Temma but when I connect it, the EM200 starts slewing immediately. I have checked the...
Hi Bob, I am guessing you made up an ST4 cable, the ST402 appears to be the same as the STV which is a totally different cable. The pin outs are as follows ...
The Extender TOA is listed under the 117.5 chart which is its metal back distance. It requires the use of TCA1050 [CA35 for the TOA]+ the appropriate camera...
Chuck, I am interested in the material pointed to by your link. Unfortunately, I get the "404 Document Not Found" message. Larry Leitch ... (degrees,...
It's a file located in the file section of the ASCOM group, so you may have to be a member to access. I just tried the link and it worked for me. Chuck ... ...
I know that the listed metal back distance is 106.2mm, but does anyone know how critical it is? Is it give or take X mm? I'm trying to figure out what...
The 106.2 is critical to insure the flattest field. Art Ciampi ... From: Chris Johnson To: UncensoredTakGroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 5:11...
I have a friend who wants to put another mount in my observatory to split operational costs. I'm using a Paramount, but he can't get one. He is using a 5"...
The same goes for Dell. They offer XP in their small and business section, and no it is not the same option for Home computers. I guess the business world...
Hello Chris; All you have to do is use the latest drive from Chuck Ferranda (ccdastro.com) and it has the park feature. Did this upgrade a month ago on my EM...
Hi Harnut, Gene and John, Thanks ever so much for the feedback. John, your pin out suggestion was exactly what the doctor ordered. Looks like it's working...
Hi Chris I own a Paramount as well and have picked up an EM200 to take to on a Chilean trip coming up later this month. I have tested the Park routine in...
Gary et al, The home edition of XP does not support multi-core systems while XP-Pro does. Almost all computers (notebooks too) have a duel core CPU inside of...
Hello all, I have just recently decided to do some imaging that requires guiding, and to that end, got one of those ubiquitous Shoestring(tm) GPUSB boxes. ...
Hi Greg, are all your cables hooked up between the PC and Temma2 before booting your PC? You shouldn't power up your mount until the PC has booted up. ...
Hi Clinton, Thanks for the quick response. ... So, are you saying that the test I conducted that is independent of any cabling or software is perhaps not...
Hi Greg, maybe I should have read your post better. My guess is that your DEC+ and RA+ are making contact with each other. How do you drive your mount without...
Hello Clinton, ... Nope -- should I be? The Shoestring site says that the GPUSB is "electrically compatible" with the Temma. Just an adapter that converts...
Hi Greg, According to the shoestring folks you need a relay box for Takahashi mounts because they don't use the ST-4 interface. The GPUSA box uses the the ST-4...
Hello Clinton, ... Thanks for that info. I guess I was misled by this web page, which doesn't mention such a thing, but led me to believe that I didn't need...
