I am working on setting up parameters for doing Meridian flips with my RST135 mount. Up to now I have not had to deal with this due to my limited viewing at home . I have read the Hubo-i manual and the RST135 supplement but cannot seem to get how the settings "control" the mount...
The mount itself is unarguably very portable and requires little power but in turns it needs a lot of third part software and hardware to be successfully used in an outdoor travel scenario: the half column, the autoguide camera and scope, polar alignment accessories and cables make up much mo...
I am selling my Rainbow Astro RST135 mount (plus hand controller not shown in pics) along with the portable carbon fiber Innorel tripod - both have never been used. I purchased the mount for $3,900.00, counter weight & shaft for $120.00, and tripod for $2...
The RST-135 is a "modern" mount and has a built-in rill for the PoleMaster to attach, so I think they were thinking that's what all the cool kids are using anyway. It worked great, then I scrapped it for Sharpcap's PA routine (one less thing to unpack and pack). Paul #590 Hel...
The scope has no connection to this mount behavior. Check your power supply. Make sure you are getting at least 12v. Astrojedi, on 02 May 2021 - 01:30 AM, said: Not sure if you are using the ASCOM driver. If so, also check to make tracking is on. ...
Also, when mount is connected in SGP after already connected in PHD2, when clicking on the Device Setting button (one with a spanner icon) in SGP, neither the Hubo-i window nor the smaller Hubo-i Setup window gets brought to the front. Instead, it just shows a useless dialog box that...
Think about it: If you're going to PA, it makes no difference since the mount isn't going to "point" anywhere; it doesn't have to know where it is yet. PA is to get the mount "physically" aligned, the brains of the mount don't come into play yet. You do SharpCap or whatever...
works. This makes it impossible to correct PE with traditional PE programs. So they have implemented an encoder to reduce the periodic error of the strain wave gear down from 30 arc second peak to peak to 2.5. But it seems in this case of my mount, its possibly more like 4 arc ...
Page 55 of 118 - RainbowAstro RST-135 Review - The ideal imaging mount? - posted in Mounts: That’s worth digging into. I don’t think so but I couldn’t swear to it. I usually don’t start guiding till I’m on the target and this was happening while try
1. Use the handset GPS to obtain lat/long for my location (Blinman, South Australia), and adjust the mount altitude to this latitude. 2. Before attaching my scope, I used the handset to goto Sirius. That told me which direction to install the scope on the mount. ...
