Dennis,
Hmm the DEC backlash cleared ok on our setup but then when it did N and S calibration it fails after the timer hits 60-61steps for each N and S. This is because our DEC default setting is Auto to check both N and S and calibrate the direction it detects movement in.
The setup we used was:
The imaging setup was a AstroPhsics 130 F6 with DSLR 350D camera.
The Guide setup was a Borg 77ED F6.5 with Q-Guider (QHY5) guide camera.
Mount G-11 with Gemini.
Laptop using PHD and Nebulosity. Using Serial port to controll shutter
on camera, and USB for Q-guider and DSLR Camera image download.
So our Guiding FL was 500mm and the Imaging FL was 780mm. I am guessing perhaps this is not ideal now looking at these figures. I am guessing that the guiding FL should be longer or do we need to reduce the claibration step size to match our FL.
Regards
Fahim
