I wish that we could achieve that but we can't with out L350/CDK14. An OAG is essential to getting the best possible data. Maybe I'll take another stab at getting the polar alignment "just so". I don't really need to shorten the focal length and we're getting excellent data with...
Polar alignment is absolutely critical for accurate tracking and pointing accuracy. If the RA axis of the equatorial mount is not aligned with the celestial pole, its internal clock drive is not in sync with the rotation of the Earth. There are a number of tools you can use to help polar ...
A polar scope for a telescope mount includes a reticle having a pattern with multiple markings that allows users to accurately position pole stars for precise polar alignment. A system and mount may be provided including a polar scope of this kind. The polar scope may be provided with a ...
The NexStar SkyAlign system is dead simple to perform, and you can skip over the polar alignment process and get straight to observing. The telescope can find and follow an object in the night sky for you. Saturn stayed in the center of the eyepiece for almost 20 minutes at over 2000mm ...
Like Sky-Watcher's larger EQ6 Pro, the HEQ5’s counterweight shaft slides neatly into the mount's body for easy storage and transportation. It also has a built-in polar alignment scope which makes it easier to align the mount's polar axis to the Earth’s axis of rotation (whilst not ...
It integrates very well with software allowing easy computer control, just click and go. The mount tracks wonderfully allowing excellent astrophotos. It is small, does not require a counterweight for smaller ‘scopes, and precise polar alignment is a breeze. A 3D printed battery caddy on the ...
However, the Pole Finder is an especially desirable aid to quick alignment for people who are transporting the mount from one location to another. The Atlas™ Polar Alignment Finder telescope is provided threaded into the mount head R.A. Axis shaft. For transport the Pole Alignment Finder is...
Currently I use the Alignmaster software with my CEM60 for polar alignment with good success. Has anybody got any of the digital two star polar alignment routines of the HC got to work with iOptron's September firmware ? I have not :-( ...
Support for polar alignment Taken together, these features will allow you to use Origin for long exposure astroimaging. With precise polar alignment, you’ll be able to achieve exposure times as long as 10 minutes or even longer. But that’s just the beginning. We’ll keep you notified when...
while maintaining polar alignment. They are also great for allowing you to raise the telescope above the observatory wall to view and image targets closer to the horizon, like that once in a lifetime comet. When viewing objects overhead, you can raise the pier so you don't have to bend ...
