You can predict passes that occur in Earth's shadow (and parts of otherwise sunlit passes?) This can be useful to see Iridium flashes by moonlight (use Rob...

... when you change direction in normal use, the motors need to take up the "slack", and the anti-backlash setting specifies how much "slack" needs to be taken...
... the "tracking factor" is the time, in ms, between goto commands. ... Since I have an LX200 Classic I've left all adjustments at default. There are many...
Dears Friends, also if the group is based on the interesting satellite detection, i like to share with you "SELENOLOGY TODAY", available online the issue #12 ...
... EP, the distance between them is also critical (the camera lens should be at the "eye relief" distance for that EP, just like the eye). That becomes so...
... I doubt it. Since the classic was such an early computerized scope, it's very simple (by comparison to newer ones). There's no backlash comp in RA, and...
... Yes. When a camera is used for "afocal" astrophotography (ie, camera lens aimed into EP), the basic optics are identical to what happens when your eyelens...
Hoi All I am new to this forum, and I like also to capture the ISS. My mount is controlled with FS2. I can for example slew with use of all the nice programs...
... won't make much difference, but lots of the lower cost cameras have tiny lenses, and then the spacing is critical to get the whole FOV. ... I saved the...
... Brent's program doesn't have a telescope option for the FS2, but the website I found for the FS2 says it works with most LX200 compatible software, so I'd...
Using the afocal method was getting pretty frustrating so I decided to revert back to the web cam. It was a lousy pass. The ISS rose in the northwest and...
I have a 10" LX200 and for some reason it will not communicate with the software. i have the v2.4.8 Freeware and have set the protocol for the LX200. I have...
Could you explain a little bit more about your laptop configuration? Is the jack on the back of your laptop a modem port? I don't think a modem port provides...

You also need to make sure you have the right pins connected on your cable. A standard phone cable won't work. The pin outs required for the lx200 classic is...

I did some Satellite Imaging on February 1. First was a high pass (75 degrees) of the ISS. The software tracked well, initially the ISS was less than a degree...
Howdy folks. It's been a long time coming, but I fell like I'm gaining some headway. I had a semi-successful pass last night. I recently purchased a wedge...
