Hello, Just for general information, Going back to the talk of ascom Alpaca and mini pc I discovered that remotely sequencers like Nina Voyager etc. work perfectly, but unfortunately phd2 has not yet been made compatible with the alpaca protocol (I think it remained the only one) and therefore does not detect the peripherals on the network. At the moment being that all Sequencers recall phd2 for the guide, I don't understand how Ascom has not yet put access to the phd2 code, which should be opened, to make it useable, thanks

I have the AM5 and Sequence Generator Pro. I saw that the RA and DEC Coordinates diferrent in both software menues, maybe it could be that SGP use "Epoche J2000" and the ASI Software use "Epoche JNow"!?

I can't to get any response from ES thru customer service and I am getting a little.... Scott if you happen to see this, you need to take control of your customer service dept and fix it. When I bought the scope CS was great. What happened?!!! Don't ignore your customers. That's just bad business, and yes I am just a little ticked right now.

Those counterweights with a small scope? 😂 One of the key points of harmonic mounts is the ability to take heavy loads without counterweights. I have my Celestron 9.25 with a reducer, camera, guidescope, dew shield (clocking close to 15kg) on my 150i and works beautifully without any counterweights. It is a good mount but needs some design improvements and fixes. That clutch on DEC is a big PITA - it comes undone very easy when the mount is in use and the result is quite a big backlash on DEC; plus, it does not allow you to freely rotate the DEC not even when fully undone. The tripod and pier are an absolute joke - very small with very limited leg spreading ability it looks and feels cheap. When you put the 150i on it and take a step back, you will see that the mount looks too big for that tripod. The placement of the connectors on top of the body is a poor choice as well - you need to use short connectors (power and USB) preferrably L shaped in order to not get sheared by the scope dovetail. The mount performance is good, on par with all other harmonic mounts and the connectors at the DEC saddle are very useful. Would I still decide to buy it if I knew these beforehand? Definitely not.

You would never see the ISS if it was REALLY 400KM .away. A passenger airplane looks like a similar tiny dot at only 10km high. It doesnt take very advanced math to figure it out
@yahtheahmed2236 4 ай бұрын
we can use high school trigonometry to figure out the angular size of the ISS in the night sky. The ISS is approximately 100 metres in length and orbits at 400km (400000 metres) from sea level. if you make two straight lines from the edge of the iss towards one point on the ground, you get a right angle triangle so if we use inverse tan, we can find out how large the iss appears in degrees in the sky tan^-1(opposite/adjacent) = tan^-1(100/400000) = 0.014 degrees the moon is around 0.5 degrees across so the iss appears around 3 percent the width of the full moon, which looks about right.
@myronbuck2436 Ай бұрын
@@yahtheahmed2236 Youre another math person....how is it that the ISS transits the moon on 0.5 seconds? The moon has a width of 0.5 degrees...that implies the ISS can circle the earth in 360 seconds (1 degree per second), but it actually takes 5400 seconds (90 minutes). That means it should take 7.5 minutes to transit the moon.

The Hubble Deep Field image was released in 1996. Don Pensack took one look and said "I already saw all of these objects through my Televue 101." The NASA scientists, humbled by this observation, accelerated planning for the James Webb Telescope that same year. Little did they know that Don Pensack's vision extends well into the infrared...
