Pier/Tri-Pier and DDM85 Dome Slaving Metrics for 2.7m Observatory

[deepskyman]

Hi there, just wondering if anyone happens to have a set of DDM85 metrics that I could use with my 2.7m dome ASCOM setup.  New to dome setup so I'm sort of experimenting at the moment.  As I don't yet have my pier (unforeseen budget complications),  I'm currently working with my Altair Starbase Tri-Pier.  The ASCOM dome setup requires the following:

Measurement	Inches	mm
Total North/South Offset
Total East/West Offset
Total Up/Down Offset
Dome Diameter or
Dome Radius
GEM Axis Offset

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Paul.

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
