Anybody with a "Real" LX200 around..?
So, tried it out tonight.. Incredibly clear skies in Melbourne
PHD2/Ascom spoke to the Arduino fine, and both motors were active
However it would not guide correctly, and kept popping up messages about needing longer guiding intervals. Also, rather than moving at tracking rate with the occasional correction, it seemed to be only driving the motor when sending correction pulses - I'm unsure of the correct behavior, not having a "real" mount to work from.
Packed up the arduino for the night, and taking some pics with the kit 18-55mm lense that came with our Eos40D - havent played with that in years, and a friend in Canada wants me to take some images of the same bit of sky 6 months apart - so the SCP @55mm it is!
