    No, they just jiggle around and hum.

    The mount won't actually "track" a star, you need a mount with an autoguiding setup to do this. After the mount has slewed on to your chosen target the mount will then revert back to sidereal tracking. The mount doesn't have any idea if the target then starts to drift out of view.
  3. Cornelius Varley
    Time to change the batteries I think. On the older style handset the LED would show green when tracking at sidereal rate and red when any the buttons are pushed and return to green when the button was released. A flashing LED usually indicates the battery voltage is dropping.

    With the Synscan handset you drop the seconds component so the coordinates become 004 20 W , 57 40 N

    Run the .mov file through PIPP and this will convert the file to .avi https://sites.google.com/site/astropipp/

    Yes, if you add a Synscan handset.

    If your mount is equipped with the basic dual axis drives you will need to purchase the full Synscan goto upgrade kit.

    The minimum of 50 posts to access the classifieds was done to discourage traders buying up all the good stuff and then reselling it at a profit on a certain internet auction site.

    The first thing to check is probably the cables from the motor control board to the motors.

    Please ask your questions in the forum, not in your own personal blog. That way you will get more answers. In the meantime the problem could be that you have not adjusted the focuser.

    Remember folks, your post count can go up as well as down if it is decided that you are post farming.

    Hello and welcome to SGL. Aperture always wins over technology. The 130mm reflector will capture more light than the smaller 70mm refractor and will show you fainter objects. The refractor will salso how false colours (chromatic aberration) around stars that will not appear in the reflector.
