Im having a heluva time getting my new configuration working and literally grasping at straws here.
I installed the ASCOM Celestron...

Is your mount a Celestron mount or a Skywatcher mount? Since it is a Celestron you go with the Celestron driver. Celestron tells both types of mounts...
Say, if there are any SE experts out there I could use a clarification on setting the goto approach and alignment stars. I’ve got sources that advise...

Actually taking the time to set the backlash works wonders as well :)
I have always used up and right with Celestron mounts though.
I just got a CGX mount to set up in my POD observatory. I live in Maine where winter temperatures can get down to -30, -40 f. Will it do any damage...

The newer celestron mounts that i've seen have descent grease instead of the old cosmolene feeling stuff. Mount will be fine but hand control display...
Like the Ford Ranger truck or Toyota Camry sedan, this model has a long history and we need to be clear on the year in which you purchased yours. Not...

FWIW, I just loaded up my AVX with the ES ED127CF and the ES MN152 Comet Hunter side by side, each weighing about 15 lbs. plus the ADM connector that...
I have an avx mount I've barely used about 1yr old. Had not used it in a few months. Went to power it up from the 12v DC portable power pack (used...

The CGX HC will work with the AVX, at most he may have to re-flash it to make sure PEC and such are right for the mount.
Celestron basic programming...
I decided to check the battery for the RTC (Real Time Clock) that is in the CGX-L and I assume the CGX as well. I could not find anywhere where this...

Time to check the settings again. Since I now have a Starsense for my CGEM II I will have to check and see if the RTC is off in that controller. I...
After a successful set up on Sunday night with great alignment, I went to slew to my first target and...

Hi Jim, I’ve had the AVX just short of a year. This was the worst jam I’ve had, I knew the clutch was hard to move and often very close to the cover...
Hi everybody!
I’ve been thinking about using a Nexstar SE4 for lightweight take it with me setup. I’ll be using it in EQ mode with an ASI533MC pro...

Your ability to accurately guide with this setup is limited. And you need VERY accurate guiding for imaging smaller fainter galaxies. This mount will...
Hello everybody,
I have an AVX mount running on Celestron’s 110v ac-12v dc 5amp power supply. I just got ASIAR Pro and I wonder if I go to 110v ac...

I would't be surprised if 5A was enough. Those devices seldom take very much current and the amperage specified is usually the maximum possible surge...
When I set up last night, I noticed the mount pointed the telescope about 15° away from the first alignment star. I messed about checking the clock,...

Some great suggestions here but from Sunday I'll be on GMT for 6 months as will all of my clocks!
I have a week off and for once it is dry, so time to make things a bit more useful in the back garden. After some negotiation with the better half I...

Thanks to Ed127
and my German colleague's 3D printing. I have an addon levelling device for my AVX Mount.
I've had my CGX since almost the very beginning. I was on a waitlist after it was announced so it's safe to say mine is an early model. Anyway, Over...
