Hello, You can login in the Astrosysteme website, then add your type of mount as well as your license number, then after 2-3 days you will have access to download all the manuals concerning to your mount. Anyway, if you want you can contact with me, please feel free to send ane email to my personal account to transfer the info to you. email: simpyluro@gmail.com All the best Luis Romero www.astrotolva.com

Hi Paul, I have and DDM85 with a 3m Dome. What do you need exactly? The measures in metric to write in ASCOM Dome or Sequence? I am only using Autoslew and sequence, no others software since 8 years ago and I don’t have had any problem about this… Well, at the beginning the learning curve was crazy!! if you want to write me, please feel free to email: simplyluro@gmail.com Best regards, Luis Romero https://www.astrosirius.org/

Hello Horiuchi-san Try to get in contact to Mr Dietmar Weinzinger. I have no other contact than this person. His email is: d.weinzinger@astrosysteme.com

Hello Kazuo-san. Nice pleased to meet you. It seems a nice Power Supply, but in my opinion, you should find to minimize from all the external devices that can be affected to the right function of the mount. It seems your errors is aleatory factor, so something is happening, because I haven't found any case in this forum, like your case. And of course, you can contact with ASA service by email, they will reply to you know what's happening better that anyone i this forum. let's get in touch, we can learn something from your experience. Best regards Luis Romero www.astrosirius.org

Hello Kazuo Horiuchi, I have the same mount than you and after 6 years later I have had any problem about this matter, but it seems very curious. Have you checked carefully if the power supply is stable during the night?. Maybe you can check with a tester, saving the paremeters of voltage during all the night to check if in some point the mount have special friction. Hope you can find out soonest the problem.

Hello, Deepskyman, I have been involved in a new personal project... I have installed on my new observatory a dome 3m and after few months testing, I am using the HubDome POTH by ASCOM, and works fine. Using the ASA ASCOM driver, for me no used, because although I put the same parameters than the HubDome POTH by ASCOM doesn't works well, the door never goes to the center window of the axis telescope. I have tried to find manual about how to use properly the dome with Austolew and Sequence, but I couldn`t found anything about this, neither to with the F1 help of Sequence. So Yes, you have to be a little scare mongering in case you want to use the ASA Driver, but if finally you can find the manual help, please try to share it in this forum. I wish you all the best, Luis Romero https://www.astrosirius.org/

Hello Jeremy, Nice pleased to meet you in this forum... I have an DDM85 with incremental encoders (6 years old) and my experience after few telescopes, is that the mount feel more confortable with more medium and high payload than light load, this is true, at least my experience. The theory payload without instrument of the DDM85 is 65 Kg and currently my setup is around 47 kg (RC16" plus equipments) and I have to say that I don`t have problems with the balance and vibrations, obviously after spent a little time to make a good setup playing with the PID in both axis. You will have to make an automatic balance to find out where the mount feels more confortable, but to start with you should try to reduce the parameters in case your setup is so light. About you answer, I really don`t know the minimum payload, but I have to say that my first setupr with a telescope with a 25 Kg weight wasn't posible to balance properly, I had to put another telescope and more weight to reach the correct balance. Well, this is my experience I hope it helps to you Luis Romero Ventura www.astrosirius.org www.astrotolva.com

Hello Max, How are you? How did you solve the problem? i have the same one, after man years with an roll off roof observatory y have made a new one, but this time is a dome 3m... I have the same problems using Sequence, the telescope never reach the center of the window, but with Poth always have find the center, the problem is that when I use sequence with MLPT the telescope, never wait to the dome, so it's dificult to make a good MLPT and of couse to hit the target.. I know you did the comments 6 years, ago, so as I understand finally, you've got the solution! If you have time, i will be glad to hear you! All the best Lluís Romero www.astrosirius.org
