Hi all.. Swaneyjoe Here! I haven't been in here in over a yr and a half, so some may not ever remember me! I think I have forgot who I am myself.:-) My...
... If you'd bothered to check the group's website, you'd have seen the recent posting by the good Dr, which says: "The observational guide is found under the...
Hi Joe, Long time no hear from. Try _http://www.heavens-above.com_ (http://www.heavens-above.com) I think it may be what you are looking for. Rick Branson...
Thanks Guys. Will try and find out a few things then. I haven't touched the scope in many months, but have kept it well covered, so am hoping it will work when...
Hi guys, i`m new to this group, I have an 8 inch LX 90 Classic and i`m planning to enter in the field of autoguiding, but I have some doubts about it. By...

... Hi Jimmy, I have not done any autoguiding, but there are some issues with autoguiding if the scope if not well aligned. First, the star may drift too fast...
Hi Jimmy. I have a little autoguiding experience (still learning really). You should align the scope to the true celestial north - but... alot of this...
Hi Jimmy, For starters, read my article in the Files section entitled "Guiding the LX90 DON'T.doc". Then take a look at the images I took unguided at DSO...
... I don't think anyone answered this -clearly-: Polar alignments are always with the true north celestial pole (NCP). You might use Polaris to help you...
The NCP is 0.75 degrees = 45 arc minutes away from Polaris. The radius of the viewfinder (VF) is 2.5 degrees, so the NCP is about 1/3 VF radius from Polaris....
Dear Friends: I recently experienced my first and hopefully last TIA, (transcient ischemic attack = mini-stroke)on June 16th. I was told to stop smoking or...
Hi All, I'm suffering from what I think is Rubber Banding. After Automatic alignment, using the A/S controls, I move the 'scope a small amount (a few arc...
If you are using batteries,try changing them and repeat the process of calibrating and then train drives. Rick. ... From: Al Greaves To: lx90@yahoogroups.com ...
Mike, I'm not an ophthalmologist, but I am a physician and do care for many patients with vascular disease (a large majority of whom are smokers). First of...
... Let's see... if you're adjusting in Az, does the rubberbanding only happen if you slewed eastward? ... Try 'rubberbanding' on Mike Weasner's site. ...
Hi Al...I have a 1-1/2 year old LX90 classic and found that when I upgraded to 34E (even with Dick's patch) the rubber banding problem started. I went back...
Hi Dick Thanks for that. I will experiment with the percentages and report back. I am a bit confused on the Eastwards/Westwards issue. I was looking at Polaris...
... Polaris is a particularly nasty/confusing test target for this kind'a thing... use something like Arcuturus or Vega. Polaris is -very- close to the pole......
Thank you guys for taking time to keep me update about autoguiding, now is question of practice. Thanks, Jimmy [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hi Dick, Now, that -is- interesting. The effect only seems to occur on Polaris, ie around NCP, so it seems very likely to be the trigonometry. I was beginning...
... Isn't it "strange" how leaving out the teeny tiny detail of -which- star is acting strangely leads to hours of fruitless exploration? ... Power supply...
Hi Dick, ...and I thought it was dandruff :) Point taken, the more eveidence, the better the chance of a solution. (how often have I said this to others, in a...
