Bro..got any testing results so far?weixing wrote:Hi,I think it should, because I remember I put Jupiter in my FoV at 200x and a few minutes later, the Jupiter is still at the same position in my 12.5mm ortho FoV.But does it track accurately and does the DEC motor actually activated during tracking mode?
Those LXD75 or Celestron ASGT can do GOTO and find objects even if polar alignment is out, but the tracking will slowly go out since only the RA is moving. The DEC motor is only activated during GOTO
Anyway, will confirm again and check the accuracy tonight if I'm free and sky is clear. This time I will use a reticle.
Have a nice day.
Which Goto?
Abang, I'll have a GPDX with SS2K coming in a few weeks time from Japan. I can trade the SS2K for your dual drives plus cash if you're interested. Let me know.With all these discussion,I,m tempting to consider SS2K to get my GPDX into GOTO.(Sori getting lazy to search)
But new one is very EX.
Any 2nd hand around?????

cheers,

Hi,
Tested the Sky-Sensor 2000 tonight and it work very well. Although the sky condition was not good, but still manage to see Uranus and Neptune.
Just to mentioned that we didn't do polar any alignment... the mount was pointing at somewhere North-West direction and at the end of the session, I discovered that the levelling bubble was off... not by much, but it was clearly off...
and that doesn't seem to affect the GOTO and tracking accuracy. 
Have a nice day.
