Our mount only has 3 tracking rates - solar, sidereal and lunar. We actually very rarely use the mount software and control our mount via Ekos. Since your work we have looked into tracking rates and it looks like we can set up a custom tracking rate in Ekos if we can find the ephemerides for a given object. Thanks for sparking yet another idea  |
Hi Clare & Peter
I didn't want to own up to a new Paramount MX+ knowing I would incur the wrath of the local astronomy community for the wet weather we have endured in Brisbane of late.
The MX+ and The Sky X play together very well, so all I need to do is download the NEO (by Name) into TSX and then with the NEO selected, command TSX to "Set Track Rates" and off it goes.
Cheers
Dennis
