how to calculate polar alignment error from drift?
"Kevin Smith" wrote in message ... You can use T point to map a series off stars, and then it can tell you what your error in Polar alignment is. Hope that is of some help. Hi Kevin, Thanks for the idea. My Skysensor when fitted to the main mount will effectively do that too (having done a 3 point alignment, it will report the polar axis error) Unfortunately the DEC axis motor cannot be fitted to the Eq1 mount so I have to adjust DEC manually and I get no feedback to the computer. BTW if anyone is curious about what an Eq1 mount fitted with a skysensor looks like, you can see a picture of it here http://www.leadbeaterhome.fsnet.co.uk/pisp3.htm 10arcsec PE on an Eq1 ! :-) Robin |
