Got the GSC issue resolved.- thanks

I think I can get a decent focus initially. I still do not understand how the moonlite does auto-focus and how that relates (if at all) to the auto-focus feature in AA7.

oh, ok.....that one was easy - phew

oh boy, will give it a go will plate solve work on not-so-well-focused images? One of my problems is trying to learn too many things at once, resulting in not learning them at all. Moonlite focuser new and filter wheel with OAG new (but not using guiding yet) and of course, anything in AA7 new. I al...

I currently have my SX 814C on the scope. I do not see an option to choose between the 814m or 814c other than to check the VID/PID list and add the code. However, this is suppose to be for when you use 2 SX cameras at once. I am only going to do that when I connect the guide scope- which I have not...

My initial alignment is off and my scope is way too up high to use the finder scope. I was hoping to use the Star Atlas tool to help me align or plate solve. I noticed that the Star Atlas does not open - I get an error saying: GSC not found. Do I need to down load this atlas from another source? Wha...

Yeah- that was not working either BUT I got it working now. I don't know what happened but all I did was get out of the program, get back in and it worked. Slewing was fine, camera connected, filter wheel connected, focuser connected (but need to check settings) and took a couple 30s images before t...

Well- first time trying and nothing going right. I am connected through ASCOM driver to control the telescope. I entered coordinates to go to Capella but scope does not slew. It says I am connected to the ASCOM driver and the controls on the ASCOM v2 driver move the scope when I press them but no mo...

Good to know- I'll need all of the help that I can get. Lots of questions coming from me, I am sure but on first look this software seems to have everything I will need.

Excellent stuff! very, very cool


ok- I'm still finishing mine up but here is a link to it on CNs...…

Starting to create my own web site now.

That sounds really cool! Love Arizona.

Once I figure out what the heck I am doing, we should exchange photos of our setups.

Hi Duncan I'm in Orlando, FL area. Glad folks like you are available to help. I've been doing live viewing for a couple of years but decided to dip my toe into AP and see if I like it. Which is why I was looking for 1 software to do it all for me. I realize many use numerous software packages but I'...

Excellent! Greatly appreciate the initial guidance.... I need to ensure I get all the gear working as I am in my observatory with the scope 11ft above the ground. So can't keep climbing up and down to get things to work. I should have time tomorrow night to try things out but will practice with the ...
