Hi Guys, Isn't PEMPro V.2 supposed to allow me to upload the PEC curve directly to the mount? I've upgraded the ASCOM & Gemini drivers to the latest versions...
Matt, Pempro does allow you to do that. But remember to select Gemini L4 as the mount instead of MI250. Vincent ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
Oh... OK, so when I click on "Configure Scopes/Mount" I have to set the "Telescope/Mount Type" to Gemini Level 4 rather than MI-250? Assuming that's correct...
Hi Matt - I would be curious if this is the correct configuration too: "Assuming that's correct it changed the worm period, I reset it back 360 teeth & worm...
Hi all, Yes, that is correct....360 teeth and 239.34 seconds for worm period, along with "Gemini L4" for the mount type instead of "MI-250". That seems a...
Wade I would think that this is something that needs to be fixed in PEMPro, considering that the motors turn in the opposite direction in the MI-250 verse the...
I set mine up correctly for the early version of PemPro and I thought it was in the help section then. However I must admit that when I installed V2 last week,...
Hi Dean, Yup, I love the polar alignment tool too. PoleAlignMax was very nice and has a very nice price but I think this is the best yet. Plus, the PEMPro ...
Hi Tom, I think we'll need to ask Ray about it. I won't be able to get into this right now, but if somebody could have Ray clarify that, I think it would be a...
Guys, As I mentioned in a previous post (it was buried a bit) the manual does state that you should verify the polarity of the curve that you upload to the...
Hi Phil, I haven't had any problems with inverted curve either, but I'll remember that if it happens. Thanks, Wade ... does ... upload to ... the PE ... and ...
Hi All, Maybe I need to invert the curve?? Last night I finally made the change to Gemini L4 so that uploading direct would work. So, I used a 10 cycle PE...
Juat received an email from Ray, he was only able to read half the post this morning before leaving for work. He hopes to join this group tongight, but he is...
Hi Matt, I don't have access to my normal pc (and software) right now and can't see your images right now...so I'll have to ask some questions first: 1) Was...
Matt, Another item we can look at later, if there are no apparent answers in your autoguiding logs...can you tell from your logs or the images themselves if...
I just approved Ray Gralak to the group, so hopefully he will join this disscusion. Dean ... From: "Dean S" <dean@...> To: <mi-250@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
I don't Dean, but that would be helpful to know, since that is going to control how critical Matt will have to be with tweaking his guide settings. If I...
Matt, Correction on one thing I told you on my first post this evening: For this statement: "Try this: 1) Recalibrate the guider while PEC playback is going on...
Dean (and Matt), I found Matt's imaging specs: Imaging scale: 1.6 arc-sec/pixel (WO 132 scope) Camera: SBIG ST-2000 His guide errors when checked earlier...
Hi Guys, I'm trying to catch up on all that was written but it is much more convenient to respond to email postings than to use the web interface (so please...
Hi, 1) Yes, M2 was on the same side. 2) Did not use the autoguider, just PEC on and PEC off. Matt ... From: Wade Van Arsdale To: mi-250@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi, Using an ST2000XM & William Optics FLT 132mm APO. Image scale is 7.4/925*206 = 1.6 arcseconds per pixel. Matt ... From: Dean S To: mi-250@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi Guys, The up and down error is in RA for sure, the side by side panels that I posted show the error with PEC off & PEC on with no autoguiding. Last night I...
Hi Ray, Thanks for joining in! I'll have to run it again next time out and save logs to send to you. The recorded PEC does look the same to me anywhere on the...
Hi Matt, Our mounts guide so well that PEC is almost not needed anyways, and may in fact make guiding worse in the long run. I have not used it in the past ...
Matt, Since you weren't autoguiding, we can rule out anything pertaining to autoguide software settings at this point. What chip version is your Gemini?...
Hi Wade, I'm running L4 v.1.05. I'll run the test next time out start to finish and save the logs or at least keep better track of the readings. Getting...
Hi Ray, I'm going to measure the PEC on performance in different areas of the Eastern sky next time out, this is the side of the mount the uploaded PE curve is...
Hi Matt, ... How do you know that this is caused by PE and not drift? With the Gemini I think that some have noticed that sometimes tracking rate changes...
