This is a really helpful discussion. I have just installed the pulsar dome drive and was wondering what socket 6 on the base of the control box (reading sockets from left to right) and the supplied plug were for.
However I still need some advice from any experienced user willing to provide help.
Firstly - the supplied encoder magnet has a yellow sticker on it. Should this be positioned facing inwards to the encoder sensor box or facing outwards into the observatory itself? (The on-line installation guide only details concerning were the encoder magnet should be positioned).
Secondly - how does one calibrate the dome from the LCD control panel prior to connecting a PC? (This is the procedure recommended in the final paragraph on page 15 of the installation guide).
Any help will be appreciated
THANK YOU
