PHD2 problems 15 messages
I just got the latest version of Onstep. When I try to guide with PHD2, the RA jumps like a degree. Did a recent change cause this or is PHD2 messed up?

Automatic Telescope Cover - WiFi - 3D Printed - $25 (DIY) 12 messages
Sorry, a bit off topic from Onstep, but I needed a way to automate a telescope cover for a couple scopes and threw this together last week. It's still a work in progress, but the majority of the work

Problem with absolute encoder AS37 19 messages
Hello, Howard, I had already written at other places that I can't get my AS37 encoder to run and I had the assumption that it is because of the low supply voltage. But now I took a look into the code

Arcsec/step as function of image scale 2 messages
Is there a general rule of thumb for arcsec/step as a function of image scale, say k*arcsec/step = arcsec/pixel, where k is a constant? Seems like maybe k > 4 would be good, or should one use smaller
