Update on the SA GTi after the latest firmware update.
Well clear skies here in Brisbane tonight so I took the opportunity to have a test run.
I was a little worried at first the PHD2 calibration seemed average in the way in operated but to my surprise this did not affect performance.
What a cracking night, over three hours of various guiding trials. Not once did the mount not perform, every pulse given to the mount from PHD2 was acted on.
I have attached a 6 minute guided shot. Please note, seeing was awful, dew was awful and we are almost at a full moon. I have also stretched it a little as it was washed out due to lights and moon.
Also attached are some guiding screen shots to compare to pre firmware upgrade.
I have had no reply from Sky-Watcher as yet, but it looks like they are slowly working through the bugs in this scope.
Hope this helps people who are considering this mount or are having issues. Do not return it yet!!!
Clear Skies
