Yes, you can create a mount model once and park the scope, turn it off. On an other night, you power up, unpark and the scope position and previous mount model will be active. In my case with my Losma

Thanks Dan - not easy to test for sure and it's not always clear on one of the two nights each year! In the spring I will try to remember to turn on all the logging! Dave

Hi Josh - that would be a workaround and does not work for automated telescopes where the operator is asleep :-) --- Dave

Hi Dan, I am finally reporting this Daylight saving time change glitch which I have noticed for the past few years. I have noticed this with 2 different mounts and different versions of sitechexe (cur

I take that back - it looks like the actually content pages were not archived. :-(

Col, I found the linked website on the internet archive (an excellent site for finding old content back as far as the mid 90s!). See: https://web.archive.org/web/20041125031511/http://www.geocities.co

Thanks James - I'll see what is possible once I get the system.

Thanks Joshua, for the detailed reply and pictures. I originally thought it might have been built by Losmandy, but my googling would indicate it was Celestron's first attempt after reselling/rebrandin

Has anyone converted the drives of a CI-700 to the sitech system? If so, can you provide some details on what was involved mechanically and what motors were used? --- Dave

Hi Dan, I did update to the latest version I could find in the forum 0.95G yesterday figuring you would ask that :-) Of course it ran ok last night. I'll keep an eye on it. Are there particular logs I

Dan (or...): I am having some intermittent problems with a Servo II during the last two two nights. (sitec 0.92G for a long time) Below at the bottom is an extract from the SiTechDebug log file starti

Hi Jaime, I have written several ASCOM client apps that access the SiTech driver and it works as expected (including all the common properties (gets)) whether booleans, integers or floats. --- Dave

I would be amiss if I didn't promote my own software ECU - see www.nova-astro.com - it is not free, but is inexpensive. It has supported SiTech since the beginning and I use it myself with two permane

Phillip, Having read some of this discussion... Does the no communication problem happen with both ServoConfig and SiTechexe (the real driver)? I do know that the older ServoConfig uses completely dif

I don't know the name of it - I am just remembering vaguely what Dan told us a year or so ago. As other say, just making sitech run on Windows is step one. ASCOM is a windows protocol .... in order to

The Sitech "driver" is not just the driver. The intelligence that makes a SiTech servo system so special is in sitechexe.exe, which happens to have an ASCOM API added to it. It is written in a compute

For goodness sakes Bryan - read what people are telling you - send a message to: SiTechservo-unsubscribe@... I tried to write you privately but your server is rejecting mail from me. --- D

To save Dan the trouble, below is what he told me back in October "But this is how it works. The pulse guide software in SiTechExe calculates the guide rate, and the duration, and turns that into an R

Try connecting ECU to the ASCOM telescope simulator instead of SiTech. That should point to either an ECU problem or SiTech one --- Dave

The G11 with stock Losmandy Servos works perfectly - might be easier than going custom. I have had a sitech powered Losmandy Titan mount in service for about 10 years (after 3 gemini systems blew up!)
