Thanks, will download PIPP and the other planetary software.

Hi, I've just copied the files on SS over to my laptop for the first time for further processing. I took some raw/avi video of the moon to process. When I view this footage on my tablet from within SS the video is nice and smooth When i view the same raw footage on my laptop which is much better than SS snd the tablet the image/video is msde up of numerous small squares. Is this normal, if not does anyone Know what's happening. I've attached a couple of images to show what I mean Thanks Doug

Do the images from Seestar go directly to this tablet. Thanks

I already own two Samsung Tablets, a Tab A and a Tab A6, neither display the images but they are around 6 - 7 years old.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. My permissions are ticked, I think it has to do with the age of my tablet. It is a 2016 model Android version 8.1.0. Think I'll have to buy a new tablet Doug

Hi, Thanks for the reply. On my phone they go straight into gallery but not on my tablet. My tablet is 2016 model so I don't think it works.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I got a Seestar at Christmas and managed to use it properly last night for 1st time due to recent bad weather in UK. I got some nice deep sky images however the jpeg / video wasn't copied to my android tablet. The stacked files are on the SS under The Works folder When I used my android phone the jpegs etc were copied to my phone under Coms.zwo.seestar album. This album is not on my tablet, the images arnt there. Can anyone offer any advice to help me get the images to show, be stored on tablet. Doug

Hi, I've just updated N.I.N.A to 2.2 and I get the below error code. I've not seen this before, can anyone give me advice on how to fix/repair N.I.N.A. Thanks Doug

Hi, Just to clarify I didn't remove Eqmod. I found that stellerium was starting up Eqmod so when I tried to connect GSS the port was already in use. I stopped Stellerium from starting Eqmod and GSS connected first time and works well. I've never had a problem with Eqmod, I just wanted to give GSS a try as so many people were mentioning it Doug

Hi, We finally got to the bottom of the tracking problem. After a process of elimination following the advice given we established that my friend when replacing a burnt out PCB on his EQ6 got the RA and DEC wires crossed so signals sent to RA were moving DEC and vise versa. Simple error that I wasn't aware of until this week. Once wiring changed tracking has been restored. Thanks for all the advice. Doug

Hi, I'm at 53 degree north and my friend only lives down the road, so he has basically the same settings as me. When I do a TTPA the only thing that moves is the RA axis and I can go through the TTPA routine and get excellent polar alignment. From the home position, when he tries to do a TTPA his RA axis only moves about an inch then the Dec axis moves to a horizontal position does this point to their being some error in his longitude/latitude and height settings in Eqmod/N.I.N.A I hadn't thought of this as the RA only moves when I do a TTPA so thank you very much for your reply. Doug

Hi, Thanks so far for all the help. Last night I went around to my friends to start trying to resolve the tracking issue. One of the things we found that is very confusing was when we tried to do a Three Point Alignment using the N.I.N.A app. When we clicked start, the RA axis moved very slightly then the Dec axis moved as if it was the RA axis, in other words, instead of the RA axis moving to do the TTPA the Dec axis moved which should not happen. Any ideas what may be causing this, I haven't a clue, my friend stated he had a new PCB fitted to the mount, could this be wired up wrong. Doug

Thanks for advice, This is what we're going to try next. We're going to start with the basics - balance, correct home position, polar alignment then one at a time check software as per your suggestion.
