Skyx pro: Tpoint automated calibration behaves erroneously with HEQ5


Recommended Posts

Hi

I face a problem with Skyx pro Tpoint automated calibration.

I have connected the Skyx to

- HEQ5 mount via ASCOM

- SBIG ST2000xm CCD camera

HEQ5 is draftly polar aligned with the polar scope of the mount.

I slew the telescope to Deneb. I take a photo then with the joystick controller I move the mount so that Deneb is centered in the field of view.

I save the photo and open Image Link.

I perform a succesfull astrometric solution and then synchronize the telescope to the linked photo.

After that I start Tpoint automated calibration with 123 samples.

Calibration is performed succesfully for all sample points. All sky database is used to perform the astrometric solution.

Then the super model is applied.

I press the Finish button to exit Tpoint.

In order to check the Tpoint model applied is OK, I slew the telescope to M57 and take a photo.

M57 is not in the field of view.

The telescope is pointing far away from M57....

Normally I would expect M57 to be in the center of the CCD field of view.

Could you check the Tpoint settings I have configured? Is there a mistake I have done???

Thank you in advance
