Hi Themos,
Just wanted to say thanks. After installing Python via Anaconda all is working great (tried it within cygwin with no luck).
I have an iOptron iEQ45 mount with the usual ALT and AZ adjustment screws and nuts. I wrote a little python script to tell me how many turns to each adjustment screw I 'should' apply to optimise the polar alignment (this requires a few physical parameters from the mount, such a thread pitch, radius of actuation etc).
After PPA gives the 'Move' details, I put these into my little script and it tells me which knob to turn and by how much. I thought I added (or incorporate) it to your program, but your python skills are well above mine so I will leave that for another day.
Attached is a screenshot after three iterations with the suggested turns (did some PA improvements after a few days).
My polar alignment routine is greatly simplified and improved, thanks heaps.
cheers,
Bram
