Manual pointing isn't supported because the algorithm doesn't slew in DEC. If you were to "choose" your alignment stars, the DEC could introduce some error....

Steve - Very good point. I have used just the ST2000 connected to the off-axis-guider and the DEC guiding issue seems to still be there. The DEC guide errors...

Dear Group, dear PulseGuide programmers, Since I dont know where I shall address exactly regarding PulseGuide issues I post to this group. There is a possible...
Check out the keypad for reversing N/S and E/W buttons. I don't have mine handy but I know it is in there, and it is certainly in the manual as well, available...
Sorry, but I guess I could have been a bit more informative and asked a couple of questions. Does the telescope actually move in the opposite direction or is...

Hi Mark, How's it going? I agree that the peripherials like giant dew heaters draw the bulk of the current. In that case I suggest using a higher current suppy...
