For you comet connoisseurs, this is the brightest comet in the sky now at magnitude 13.1. I managed to image a 13 arc minute tail. I have posted a SkyMap Pro...
Thanks for the link, Dennis. A very nice touch, having the telescope view and Skymap side by side. Very interesting to those of us without telescopes! Therese...
... The comet tail in SkyMap points in the wrong direction. :) Chris, can I suggest (not very seriously) that you make the tail point away from the Sun. Peter ...
I second the motion, Peter! I'd also like to see the relative motion of the comet expressed in arc seconds per minute under the info page. I've tried pasting...
Hi all, maybe someone will help me? An example: in Europe, my home time is, let's say - 5 p.m. What time is at that moment in Tokyo, Japan (h,m,s)? Globe icon...

The overwhelming majority of telescope control problems of this type are down to a faulty cable between the computer and the telescope. What's happening in...
Thanks for that Chris, but I have buzzed the cable out and it seems OK. I will persevere for the time being to see if I can solve the problem. Regards, Alan. ...

Mark, Thanks for replying. I tried launching the Temma driver from POTH as per your suggestion and got the same looking setup windows. The mount is not...
