good day to all,
I have an AM5 which when guiding is great, on a good seeing night no wind it will track all night at 32 arc sec or less.
I have a RASA 8 which I set up on the AM5 last night. since I take 2 minute or less exposures I thought I'd skip the guiding and just track like I do on my HEQ5 Pro. my 1st exposure at 2 minutes had horrid star trailing. the 2nd at 1 minute was somewhat better, the 3rd at 30sec was not better then the 1 minute, and 15sec exposures still had awful star trailing, but a little better than the 30sec.
is the AM5 not capable of tracking only, or have I missed something in the ASIAIR / ASIMount settings?
the handset is supposed to be able to change the tracking from slow to fast, but it made no difference. the sidereal settings in the ASIAIR also made no difference, bu I believe they are related to guiding.
anyone here use the AM5 for tracking only?
thanks in advance
