Re: Dealing with RA Tracking Problems
      10/12/04 01:19 PM

I think the existence of this thread might answer my question, but...

I've been struggling over the course of several nights to get my ETX-125EC to track correctly for long-exposure photography. The tracking error seems to be in only one axis, namely, RA. Unfortunately, adjusting the tracking speed with the controller still doesn't create very satisfying results.

Now, I've been spoilt by using professional astro facilities for photography before I got my personal scope, and wanted to see if anyone else had problems with the ETX models having less-than-precise clock drives, or if I was just being picky.
