Hi guys i’ve had a tweak and think i found a problem with an ascom driver, also adjusted the grubs a little bit. Is this much better?

oh yeah i know eqmod has gamepad support, just thought i'd say in case it was a deal breaker for you lol. I did exactly the same as you, i bought APT and was trying it when i spotted N.I.N.A but i just prefer the workflow of N.I.N.A.  may change my mind if i gave APT a chance i suppose.

Another thing is the customer support for GS is brilliant. I was having i bit of trouble setting something up so asked on an astronomy page on facebook. The developer of the software messaged me and walked me through the full setup and put me on to the GS io page where he says engineers and developers will help me with anything i need help with.

when you loosened one screw did you tighten the opposite one as well?

Yes but i have tweaked it as i had done one too tight. Thanks

You can make the worm adjustment in daytime. 

First remove the scope, mounting plates and counterweights from the mount.
Start with the RA adjustments first ( though it doesn't matter which axis) 
Loosen the 4 M6 socket cap screws fixing the worm housing to the main casting just enough so the worm housing can be moved with the grub screws.  Not too loose so that the casting is 'flapping' about.

Assuming you have a little bit of play in the axis, loosen the grub screw on the flat side of the worm housing 1/4 turn and tighten the grubscrew at the radiused housing end.
Gently tighten the 4 M6 cap screws again and slew the mount at full speed for 1/4 revolution.
If the mount slews fine, repeat the above until the mount binds at some point.  This is when the worm is a fraction too tight in mesh.

Make the opposite adjustment but adjust the grub screws 1/8 to 1/10 turn to loosen the worm mesh and repeat the slew test, but this time for a full 360 degree.

This can take quite a bit of time, just take it slowly and make small adjustments.

 

Thank you i’ll give that a good go. When you say slew it at full speed, can you just tell the mount to do that or do i manually

Just looked up the GS Serve software - do you find any advantages over EQMod?

I like it, especially since moving to N.I.N.A sequencing software too.  I like eqmod too but i just find GS is a nice customisable option and also has gampad control and other nice tweaks like being able to sync observatory location and other settings with cdc. I’m not sure about the sync option that you have with eqmod as i’ve now started using plate solving. What sequencing software do you use?

I dont use eqmod anymore, i use a software called GS Server and the speed is set to 0.5 but for some reason shows as 0.1 on phd. I havnt noticed any unusual grinding. When i first adjusted it it was making a clinking sound as if it was stuck but i loosened the grub screw a little and it solved that.

Hi all, i'm having really bad guiding problems since i've adjusted the grub screws to take out the play on my neq6.  I've tried adjusting the grub screws back but cant seem to get anywhere and dont know a way of tweaking it in the day. Does anyone know of any calibration software where i can adjust the mount while having some sort of live readout on my computer to check when its right? I dont know if that makes sense lol.

I have just myself put a similar post up about cable management, just out of interest where did you buy the power bank?

Hi all, thought i’d see who would put a picture of their eq6 cable management. Would love some ideas and i’m sure everyone could benefit.

It's not possible that what should be on the 80ED is a reducer/flattener?  I can't see why you'd want the coma corrector on it as well.  That seems quite odd to me.

James

I think he just attached it altogether to transport when giving it to me and i didnt strip it down

Thanks for the info. 

As always more data would help, which is always true.

The stars in your integrated image are not bad so I think its down to the post processing workflow.

How did you combine the LRGB image in PS?  Its hard to give advice without knowing what process steps you did.

 

Also, if you want to share each of the individually stacked and aligned masters on dropbox I am happy to give it a go in APP or PI.

 

 

 

 

 

Thankyou,
since i posted this i have learnt two things that i’m assuming will also make a huge difference. I received all my gear from my old man as he couldnt get his head round a computerised neq6 pro and ed80 ds pro. When he first bought his gear he bought a 250pds and bought  a coma corrector for this and the filter wheel, he then bought the ed80 ds pro with an ed80 reducer coma corrector, Since then he never really used it hence giving the mount/ed80/atik/filter wheel to me. What i didnt realise is he had attached the coma corrector from the 250pds reflector and the coma corrector from the ed80 together then stuck it all on the scope.
1- Would this make a big difference having two correctors as one was made for a reflector and one for a refractor?

also to my disappointment i opened up the filter wheel to find that there wasnt a lum filter so the images i was doing were Red/Green/Blue but no lum just straight through. Is the Lum filter absolutely necessary? Apologies for going on i’m still learning.  Thanks for your help

Yes sure, this one wasnt as many as i’d like but i did;

10 dark frames 120s

10 red filter 120s

10 green filter 120s

10 blue filter 120s

10 lum filter 120s

i’m using deep sky stacker and photoshop to process, i dont know if it makes a difference but i’m using a Atik 314+ mono cam. Thanks

Hey guys and girls. Can anyone give me any pointers on how i can improve the results of my images after processing please? I don't seem to get the nice pinpoint stars i would like and tracking always seems a bit off\goto always seem a bit off. I've used a bathinov mask to get focus but something if a miss. I'm still very much a newbie. Thanks

Hi all, i recently setup a mini computer for all my astro gear. I used a rp4 with stellarmate os with ekos/kstars. Since doing this i was given my dads computer with eqmod and cdc etc which i have used lots and enjoy. I use an Atik 314 mono and the infinity software and love the function when imaging in which it gradually stacks the image as the camera gathers more detail. 

My question is has anyone else tried ekos/kstars and infinity etc and found that one is better than the other?  I’ve not tried ekos a lot but know it wont run my filter wheel which is a bummer but i was just wondering pro’s and cons of both.

I emailed stellarmate and they said its a driver problem

Thanks guys, i’m using Stellarmate but cant get the efk2 filter wheel or hightech astro auto focuser working.  I’ve just installed everything on a computer now and hope to go on to that.

Thank you, i’m not sure what the sigma is but i’ll keep my eye out for it in dss

pictured this Orion Nebula last night, sadly i’m not able to use the different filters i have as my rpi4 isn’t compatible with the EFK2. First half decent image since owning the setup. Think their maybe a tracking issue from the little squiggles on the image. Any pointers on stacking and processing etc would be much appreciated.  

Hi all i was wondering if anyone has come across a way to get the Atik EFW2 filter wheel working on the Raspberry pi 4? I’m using the stellarmate os and the only things i’m having trouble with are the filter wheel and hitech astro fucuser. Thanks

Yes you can see the images being taken.... but Unfortunately that Atik softer is just windows and Ascom, so no way it will work on Linux or RPI at all....

Ok no problem, i’m hoping to get the rpi working with skysafari on my iPad if possible. Thank you

Yes i’ve watched a few of these and it looks good but I would like to mainly do it all from my iPad. I just can't find any many videos doing it all from an iPad. Thank you

Hello,

You certainly haven’t wasted your money at all, it’s an excellent all in one solution for image capture, and perfect to control all you kit with no wires from your mount...

The Stellarmate APP can do pretty much everything, you connect wirelessly to the RPI and control it all from the app, image capture, platesolve, focus, align, and more, nothing else is needed....

 

That's good to know thanks, do you happen to know if you can see the images that your taking from within the app? Also do you know of a way i can use the atik infinity program from my ipad to the rpi? Thanks

Hey folks, I have a Raspberry pi4 coming tomorrow and have just purchased the Stellarmate OS. I’ve been searching for video tutorials on YouTube for use with the iPad app but i’m having no luck.  Does anyone know what the iPads function is when using the app. Can I use it for viewing images etc? Any help would be appreciated as I have no clue about pi/linux having not used them before. I hope I haven't wasted my money lol
