I have a ROR observatory housing a large DOB. The wall tops give me a horizon of about 35 deg. If I could lower the horizon to 25 deg. Would a Point-X model be significantly more accurate? -- Ned Smit

Hello, I got installed the Linux version of SiTechExe on a raspberry pi. I know that this version of the SiTechExe is ASCOMLess but was wondering if it implements any other protocol such as INDI or AL

In my 30" dobson, using the opto limit switches is a but cumbersome: 0.125" gap in the prescibed opto limit switch is rather difficult, taking the mechanics of my scope into account. The flag that tri

I follow the instructions to configure the SiTech Time server. All is ok until the tests in Software config tab start The primary NTP connection test fails (but the Sitech Time connection Test is ok)

We’re configuring SiTechExe for a 32” Newt. We’re told we can use PointXP AX from Dave Rowe, it’s a menu option, does that mean it is already installed? As well, do I have to download and install Plat

Yesterday I came upon a thread on stargazerslounge forum for optimizing the tiks per rev in RA for sitech. Just wanted to check if this is a valid method, or if anyone has tried it. This is the summar

Hi, I have a MESU mount circa 2015 with Sitech II controller. It has a DEC axis problem which causes the axis to judder badly when it is slewed with the hand controller. Last night it stopped whilst c

Dear all, I've installed the Sitech Servo II on my ATM 30" (Lockwood Optics) telescope (only visual use), and all runs fine. Motors: Faulhaber servo's with encoders. Drive system: friction. No GOTO. P

I have set up horizon limits in my controller but was wondering if it is possible to create an additional 'no-fly' zone above my pier to prohibit the scope/camera rig from coming into contact with the

Good morning all from sunny France. I have a question about creating a Point XP model... Once I have created the model, what event might necessitate the creation of a new model? For example, last nigh

Hello, I am finishing the construction of a GEM and have a SiTech controller II and 40K scope encoders installed. The scope has slip clutches on both axes. The AN unit has firmware version 3.0.4 and e

Hi all, I started using NINA with Sitech servo 1. When it starts a warning message says there is an issue with the mount's timing. I've searched in the documentation but I cannot find a solution. Any

I have a scope that includes microswitches for limits, wonder if I should replace them with optical switches? Pros and cons for either?

I'm in the process of refurbishing an old large military telescope. The scope has no controller, but includes huge direct drive torque motors and servo amplifiers. The original system included 3 diffe

I'm still in the learning phase with a Servo1 and thought I had got everything setup, but it often resets when slewing? I used servoconfig to get everything setup, then using sitechexe I bring up the

My scope has no problem slewing 180 deg in altitude. When I manually slew the alt up and past 90 degrees SitechExe won't start. I would think while tracking satellites it would be better to track thro

Using a splitter on the hand pad so I could connect both the wired pad and the wireless at the same time. When I did this it mostly worked, but the wired hand pad down button stops working. Should thi

I sent a question to Dan about the MoveAxisXXX commands in the TCP protocol, but it occurs to me that there might be people in this group who have experience with them. Does anyone here have it implem
