Gday Fernando Good to hear Even if you cant see the sky, the unparks and blind gotos would confirm if it was in the ballpark, vs 90deg off Now lets hope Mr...
Hi Andrew. After 1 star, I did four or five park/unpark/goto tests and all seemed to work fine. No real goto tests as it's cloudy and maybe it's going to rain...
Gday Fernando ( and Ifikratis ) My apologies, i had read both posts as by Fernando :-( Soooo, 2 people exhibiting same problem???? There is a parking problem...
Hi Ifikratis and Andrew. I've been testing the patched firmware from the handbox (not linked to the laptop). After loading the patch, I did a "blind" two-star...
Gday Fernando Oooh forgot The sky uses serial commands to see where it thinks it is. After unparking, did you try a "real sky" goto, to see how accurate it...
Gday Fernando I tested the park unpark on an ETX indoors, with "HA" at 175deg and it worked OK. If it is parking correctly, but not unparking, then its...

Does anyone know how to test a 909? My guiding suddenly stopped working. I tested the shoestring adapter and it is working fine. The scope will not respond to...
Hi all! First of all I want to thanks Dick and Andrew Johansen for the patch they created for my request to park the LX90 vertically. The patch is working and...
The problem was solved by re-loading the entire handbox file to the handbox. There are bugs in ASU v5.9 with respect to Autostar 497ep. See the same posting...
... I find a big rubber crutch tip ideal -- easy to locate without having to take my eye away from the ocular, and is small enough so that I don't bump into...
Hear, hear, John. The FIRST investment I would always recommend would be the Peterson kit. Anything else, without this, is really futile IMHO. And, unless you...

Our skies are filled with nebulae. The nebulae of interest in this tutorial are huge regions of gas – gas clouds. The nebulae I'll discuss here are called...
I have loads of them for sale. I chop them out of high density foam sheet, about 1" thick, into discs about 3" in diameter. Stick a toothpick into the foam and...
Thanks for the reply Joe, I'm not sure what kind it is, it's the one from Meade. I'll look at the keyspan and see if that works. It has to be the area of the...
