Jim, Check the firmware version of your handbox via Utilities --> Version. The current version is 4.12, and the release date was within the past few months if...
... wasn't ... I've done some sleuthing and the pause I saw was with an ASGT mount. You can see my report in message 16012 on the Celestron_AS group. It has...
Hi group, I guess I can use some help here. The fact is that I own a C9.25 which I use to do some CCD work. For that I have done the standard mods to my scope:...
Thanks for the input! I'll check that version tonight and post. Good point on the axis. I really didn't pay that much attention as I was yakking with my son...
Just recieved this message and three from the SoftBisquser group, Normally I would have expected at least 150+ Yahoo group messages. So something is up with...
Hi Ferran, The image on your link is so tremendously saturated and stretched that analysis of the veiling glare surrounding the star is impossible. The...
... Hmmm, if you visit the "Moderator Central" there are 3 threads about an email outage beginning yesterday (February 28). Everything's OK using the web...
The window sliders in your screenshot show this star isn't near the center of the FOV, so it would be normal to see some slight assymetry. -John ... which ... ...
Hi Marcelo, I did it both ways, but prefer the CCD method as you can see more clearly on the screen what's going on... Best regards, Ferran. ... which ... to ...
Could be, but I can see this effect even if the star is at the center of the FOV. Furthermore it doesn't change direction when you inspect different parts of...
Hi Dennis, old pal :) yes I had to stretch a *lot* in order to show you the effect more clearly. If I tell you the truth, i'm quite satisfied about the ...

Hi If what you saying in the paragraph below is that the asymmetry is always the same no matter where in the image (same direction of asymmetry). Then I have...
... The versions are: HC 4.10 MC 5.07 5.07 Also, the CG5 I purchased last summer has the same versions and I have had no pausing problem with it. Only...
Hi By saying that it is a phone cord, I suspect you mean the ends of the cables are the RJ 11 type. They can have 2 to 6 pins. But there are two kinds. A...
... Ahh, good point. Wasn't aware of the distinction. My extra phone cables are four wire. The Dec cable is six. Thanks for the input! Jim Elbe Green Bay WIZ...
... Your MC firmware is up to date and that is probably the most important for a problem like this. Your HC is upgradable. If you would like to update it all...
Hi All, Just created a new group and with the kind permission of Uncle Rod, I am inviting anyone in the sct-user group who may be interested in joining. If...
Hi Ferran, my 2 inch nose pc. doesn't fit tightly into my JMI focuser so it sags a bit, this caused something similar. I just applied a strip of aluminum tape...
Hi, I have a hunch your secondary mirror is not centered on the exact middle of the primary. I've had a similar thing with my C11. Laterally moving the...
... Precisely. Centering is the key, not any bogus rotational alignment. The rotational alignment myth is hereby shot dead and buried. In a similar vein, the...
... Thanks for the info Ken. What I am going to do first is swap DEC cables with my other CG5 mount (shoulda done this last night). If that seems to do the...
I purchased, but have NOT installed, a set of Bob's Knobs for my 8" LX200R. It appears to me that the knobs would stick out enough that the dust cover could ...
... Yep ! I dented my dust cover to reduce this problem and it worked to some extent, but it's far from an ideal solution. My knobs came with three little ...
This has been an issue on some SCTs. Denting the dust shield outward works in some cases, but I think Bob also sells "low profile" versions and will probably ...
Tom, Could it be that the LRF's are mounted to the corrector retaining ring so that the cover will not contact the knobs? This is only a guess as I have not...
... that the cover will not ... That's a good guess, but the LXD75 dust cap is not very deep. Before I dented it, it couldn't grab enough of the telescope to...
