One thinkg I did learn with APT is that my focussing is pretty OK as the FHWM never got any better than when I focussed with the B mask. Here's to a simple life!!!! Once again Ivo, thanks for thinking about my problem. All this automation is great when it works well. This has been over a 12 hour learning curve about technology! I think I will definately be giving EQMOD etc a miss as well. I hope that by keeping it as simple as possible (Stellarium via handset and USB / serial adaptor, and EOS utility for exposures) I can get imaging again. None of my cables are that long and I don't use a hub. I never did try to run the scope through it either. I have decided to KISS (Keep it simple stupid) and after a few hours of installing, uninstalling, updating and goodness knows what else I have finally got EOS Utility to work - I will be using that from now on as it worked for me prior to trying out APT (EOS only stopped working after installing and trying APT). I have a handful of mods including ASB, Planetary Diversity (+ exotic worlds), Guilli's Planet Modifiers, and More Events Mod (plus a handful of. Both games have run up to just before 2300. Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I have had a couple of games now that crash upon loading any save. The trials and tribulations of this hobby - I don't think I'd put up with it for anything else! Game keeps crashing nearing the mid-game. So, it's back to the drawing board again today - I shall do a system restore and see whether I can get EOS Utility to work. I also remember the computer crashing that night and I also used to get a big arrow cursor appear for use instead of the smaller one - As though the screen resolution had been changed. It only started once I had downloaded and tried it for the first time. The only thing I can think of is that APT has caused some kind of configuration problem with my PC. Tried the guiding again and for 10 mins it was fine, both lines merrily bobbing about the middle line on the graph as always. Uninstalling APT and NOT reinstalling it. I thought that perhaps my mount had developed a fault and that the RA wasn't working - Yet it would slew happily via the handset, just not to where it should.įinal go, last night (this morning at 0200) was uninstalling PHD and reinstalling it. Realign carried out - Still the PHD graph was showing the RA (Blue line on the graph) climbing up as soon as calibration had been carried out. ![]() APT stopped and camera unplugged from PC. So, incase anyone reads this or has a similar issue - Here is the only thing I can put my issue down to - I recently downloaded APT and from there it all went wrong.ġ) EOS Utility stopped working straight away and despite several reinstalls still will not work at all - Little box saying 'programme has stopped working' - Nothing more.Ģ) PHD - could calibrate the scope, but the minute I went onto guiding the RA didn't work at all, guiding was lost within a few seconds.ģ) Stellarium was innaccurate and each time I slewed to something easily recognisable it had 'slipped' in the view and did not remain in the middle of viewĪll computer control was removed at this point (except PHD) - Stellarium unplugged and reverted to using the handset.
