Hi Yann, A new mount should track properly. The Mesu mounts are very good and very popular. However I don't have one, so my answer is general to you. Tracking rate depends on both time and tic

Hi everybody, I am a new mesu/sitech user. I had 2 difficult first nights with the mount learning how it works. Last setup 0.92ge fixed my phd2 dec guiding rate being twice the RA rate. (0.92ge should

Hi Rob, Tracking and GoTo's with an Alt-Az mount depend on accurate setup both of the SiTech system and the overall setup each night in the field. First your mount must have a reliable drive system

Turns out that I had an issue with a loose screw on a gear! And maybe some other mechanical issues. I’m back to a working scope again, but I could really use some help. What are the top 5 things I

Download a copy of the manual. Go to the “Find” tab. Do a find. Once the object is found, just click on the Closed Loop Slew button. That’s all you have to do. Make sure that image link is

Thanks. I will try this the next clear night. This is an amateur question. How do you do a closed loop slew? My TheSkyX Pro Users Guide is not working.

I have built an alt-az mount for my 12.5" scope. Until recently, it was working in Go-To (but not well). Then suddenly it is off by tens of degrees in Go-To. Tracking is working acceptably well. I've

I have exactly the same software. If you have T-Point running then just do closed loop slews,there is no need to synch Sitech. Doing this is likely to mess up the pointing model because now you have

I am usingthe SiTech Servo Controller II and Sitech.exe Ver. 092ge to control my mount and TheSkyX Pro Ver. 10.5.0(Build 11485) as my planetarium program. I have a good TPoint model and my mount is

Hi Curtis, I was sure it was the cable. Glad to hear you got the right cable and it works. Don W ---In SiTechservo@..., <deepsky307@...> wrote : Hi Don, I got things working, It turns out for the 6

Hi Don, I got things working, It turns out for the 6 pin cable, one cable end needs to be a mirror of the other end to work correctly. I found one in my cable pile, plugged it in and problem

Hi Curtis, You can't use the SiTech hand pad cable as an ST-4 cable. The pin connections are different. A true ST-4 cable is described in the web page for

Don and All, Doug and I are communicating with Bob off-line to test out certain things to determine if the pointing accuracy can be addressed. Tonight we will be testing how perpendicular the axes

Hi Bryan, Hi all, Sorry for my silence for a long time. I've been working really hard on this project in South Africa. We have complete observatory control software controlling this telescope under

Thanks for the replies so far. As to usb cables, I already replaced the one going to the Sitech. That being said, I suppose it could be the connectors in the servo II. Seems sort of unlikely. Ive

In regards to your ticks per rev. here are my experiences. My encoders are the following. RA motor - 51M RA scope - 64M Dec motor - 41M Dec scope - 40M SiTech.exe sets my dps to 1.72 for the RA, if

USB can be finicky. It is certainly limited in length of cables and USB doesn't like cold temperatures. Powered Hubs and active extension USB cables can overcome some length issues, but they rely on

Never overlook the possibility of bad USB connectors and/orbad USB cables. -Christopher Erickson Observatoryengineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.summitkinetics.com
