  1. I have the main and aux power cables and one USB cable. There is also I think the data cable but I'm not sure, will investigate further. I hope to pick up another A-to-A USB cable tomorrow plush a couple of short USB cables to connect my camera and FW to the mount hub. I'm thinking of connecting the camera power to the mount power with the aux power cable, but may pick up another PSU when I'm in Maplins getting the USB cables. Been having problems making a pointing file for refining the PA tonight, seeing the star jump back and forth in Dec. Not sure if it's the bolts not tight enough or the gusty wind.
  2. Hi Waldemar Yes, sort of S/H, ex-demo from Astrograph, so I'd seen it in action swinging around an improbably long 180mm apo. It does have the USB and power connectors on the RA axis. I hope soon to take advantage of these connectors but will have to sort out some cables first. When Rupert delivered it and set everything up for me, he did warn about the learning curve.. A huge upgrade from my HEQ5, with a corresponding learning curve, but worth it (I think and hope) in the end.
  3. I got (I think) the same error, but in English, when trying to run an autogrid in Autopoint, a couple of nights ago. I'm running Autoslew 5.1.1.6 as the latest version doesn't like something else on my computer and won't connect to the mount. I'm running Sequence 0.2.0.9, which I think is the latest version. My laptop is a Dell i5 running Win7.
  4. New member, only just joined the community of ASA mount users with a DDM60 Pro. Living and imaging from Ruislip in North (-ish) West London, where the light pollution is horrible, hence mostly narrow-band. At present my telescope is fairly budget, a Megrez 90 with AFR IV, and a Starlight Xpress Trius 694 camera, with Astrodon 3nm filters (A full house), and Baader RGBs. But the mount was purchased with a view to being able to mount considerably more ambitions 'scopes on it in the future (A 130-ish mm apo being on the shopping list for sometime in the future) I expect to have a lot of questions as I get to grips with the mount and the ASA way of working.
