It’s a real shame that Paramount users in the Southern Hemisphere continue to experience this long-standing problem, given how many competent users have reported the issue to SB over the years.
It seems they do not have the appetite to fix it, as when I enquired about a solution, they would not provide a roadmap to a fix, so we must purchase additional SW such as PEMPro for a work around.
The procedure that I described 2 posts above is quite lengthy but essentially it boils down to a 3-step process:
- Collect the Raw (unguided) PE Data in The Sky X Pro 64 Bit making use of all the whistles and bells such as T-Point, Protrack and a good Polar Alignment.
- Open the log file in the PEMPro “Paramount Quick PEC” Wizard and generate a txt file that can be uploaded to the MX+ via the Bisque TCS in The Sky X Pro 64 Bit.
- Upload PEMPro generated file to the Paramount MX+ via the Bisque TCS in The Sky X Pro 64 Bit.
The only catch is to make sure you meet all the requirements of the various steps, such as correct image scale, camera PA, star near Dec 0, etc.
Cheers
