wow, thats "BIG" whatever it is. What do we have there and is that mount a goto, looks it? -
seems my optimism was misguided, the clouds arrived suddenly and quickly, whiteout now. Incidentally, whereabouts you at then?
-
My memory is a bit hazy on the way the different models work (I think the mount has its own model in there that does not get purged at power down). So what I used to do was once the mount was on & tracking (& polar aligned if you're not on a pier) then I'd purge the model (go to the mount tab and there's a "Clear Model" button). Then go to the Align tab (the one that looks like a bullseye - I think its called Align), and there's a button you can click to set up a mount model. I'd suggest choosing 3 named stars and once its gone through that, it has a mount model as of that night's setup, and you're hopefully more likely to get flips to happen when they should. If that doesn't fix it, I'd try & post a query on indilib.org too. -

Welcome to the wonderful world of Takahashi ownership… it will be many weeks before you stop opening the case just to admire it 😍🤣 -
Recalibrate? I'm not sure what you mean by that as I thought the mount "forgot" everything when it powered down, and assumed it was in the park position at switch-on? Is there a specific routine I need to run?

Hi, you seem to be at a fantastic location, I used to live at the edge of the Cevennes and still return regularly to the mid-southern part of france for ultralight flying and astro activity .· 5 replies
Can I ask please, what is your location and is there an airstrip nearby?
Thanks & cheers,

I wonder if after so many great SHO, Hubble Palette, images were (and are) being produced by amateurs thanks to the color spectrum alignment in the famous 1995 Hubble image of "The Pillars of Creation"... if now we're about to see an advent of orange/red hue images imitating the James Webb Space Telescope ... JWST Palette???· 1 reply
Not that's I'm saying that there is anything wrong with that, I have an idea of my own to do exactly that... I'm just wondering...
