Hi, Just updated the SGPro to the latest version and was surprised by not starting the application. It stops at the "Loading configuration" moment. In SGPro forum have found the same issue. The guy ju

I posted earlier about go- to going too far. This was resolved for DEC axis when I found a GT2. pully. which was in a package as 16 tooth was really 20. Now a different problem: RA tracks at correct r

I'm also an Onstep new user with a CG4 mount. Before Onstep I was using RduinoScope with gear ratio of 3 on both RA and DEC with Nema 17 200 steps. I noticed the DEC always has an error of about 2, 3

P.S. I think the best way I have found to get to the hidden dialogs is to hit F11 to put Stellarium in a window and then drag it out of the way so it is still the foreground process but at least you c

I can't speak for ASCOM since I don't use Windows. What I was saying is that you only have to do this only once ever for a stationary mount. You don't even need the Android app. You just need a laptop

I tried out the Wemos CNCV3 controller indoors today after attaching it to the mount. Couple of observations: 1. With the ASCOM connection, I need to press Reset each time for the OnStep to get connec

Not sure why this isn't working for you but you might want to try the following in the ASCOM setup dialog: Once the connection attempt fails, select the empty/blank entry in the "Port" list box. Then

Can you list what controller do you have? Teensy, ESP32, Arduino Mega etc.. By default, mount will not start tracking until you do alignment. So if you're using just Stellarium and ASCOM, there is no

Can be because of many reasons: - Steps per degree calculation is wrong. - Ratio for GR1 or GR2 is wrong. - Mismatch between microsteps in Config.h and microsteps in jumpers. - Trying to use MICROSTEP

Hi Simons, Thanks for your prompt answer! I have tried that too. Actually no SGP nor PHD2 will work if I leave device hub open background..

Some users have two OTA's (I will probably do this at some point) and three focusers isn't out of the question. Some might want to use "focusers" to automate collimation. On a newtonian that's minimum

Hi Howard, alignement works fine with the Mobile App. Any other way I can test it?

Hi Guys, anyone here who would consider implementing the axis rate property in the ascom driver? It allows tracking comets, minor planets when they are relatively fast but even the HiRes photography o

You can also upgrade to the newer driver. It can handle more than one connection over a single usb.
