Hello, I bought a FS2 unit with Astromeccanica motors kit (Sanyo-Denki 103H548-0440) on a GPD2. I'm experiencing a problem with the PEC correction tool. Each...
Hello Gianluca, ... It helps if you make the "rate 1" parameter as small as possible, meaning that during the learning period you make longer corrections with...
Thank you Michael, now rate1 is set to 0,5x. It makes difficult to teach the PEC visually at lower rate1, even at high magnification (about 600x). This night I...
Hello Gianluca, ... No, it's not a bug. The PEC table has about 1000-2000 entries, the exact number depends on gear ratio and teeth number. Let's assume the...
Hello Michael, thank you for the technical details. This night I will try. For the first time I would like to use a Meade DSI for autoguiding with PHD Guiding...
Hello Gianluca, ... with PHD Guiding via Ascom platform. Is it a working setup? Yes, I think so. But I haven't tested this setup myself. There are so many...
Hello Michael, I will be happy to write a reporto about that setup. Yes, I have an autoguider, but no off-axis guider or guide scope! That's the reason for the...
Hi Carlos, The SBIG camera/s are OK in themselves. When you may need the relay, either mechanical or preferably optical, is for the standard Losmandy mounts. ...
Hi, Carlos. ... Hmmmm, difficult to say, because my FS-2 only contains a self build-in female 5-pin DIN connector which I used as auto guider port. So my cable...
Hi Michael, I just bought a Zeiss PaMount II (about the same as the AP600EDA with already built in higher quality SECM3 motors. Of course I want to operate...
Thank you very much for your quick anwer Michael. Note that Astro-Physics has very recently upgraded their encoders from 4.000 to 10.000 tics (for AP600 and...
Hi, I have an FS2 controller on my Centurion 18. I am close to completing a project where I can start controlling the scope remotely. The limitation I have...
Hi all, I've just designed a new motor kit for the Meade LXD750 mount: http://www.astro-electronic.de/lxd750.htm Prices will be available in a few days. I will...
Hi, I'm using FS2 system with a Losmandy G11 mount and The Sky software to guide my telescope. My question is if there is any option in the configuration (FS2...
Hi Alberto, ... Sky) to avoid the mount stops in the meridian point. If the mount stops at the meridian, it's not a problem of the FS2. The FS2 has no limit at...
Hi Michael,. In The Sky, the meridian limits advice if you make a GOTO movement over the meridian limits, but if you arrives with sidereal movement to the ...
Hi, ... over the meridian limits, but if you arrives with sidereal movement to the meridian limit the mount doesn´t stop. Is not correct? I don't know much...
Hello to all I'm French user of the Fs2. This system is installed with a MK70 mount (Michael Knopf) I need to fine tune the stellar speed. I tried to correct...
Hello Christian, ... leaving these new figures gives me now more time to reach the speed asked (500 X if GOTO is launched for instance, the motors need also ...
Thanks Michael I made some trials this evening, that's getting better to put higher figues in the M1_Accel But as I was not able to reach the figure 50 for...
Hello Christian, ... Each trials gave me either 48 or 52. Is it normal ?? This is normal. The number of full steps of the motor is always a multiple of 4. You...
hello I'm current using the Fs2 either with the Sky 6 or Guide 8 to manage the GOTO. At this time i'm unable to get a connection with these softwares (Lx200...
Hello Christian, ... (Lx200 not responding...) Do you use a true RS232 port, or a USB<-->RS232 adapter? If you use an adapter, you must download the latest...
Michael I cheched the DB9 connection. Three of them are connected with pins 2,3 and 5 As for now i didn't encountered such a problem. the strange thing is that...
