Sorry I'm not going to be a lot of help here, but what I do remember is having to muck with where the UCAC files were located. It was difficult at first to understand where I needed to put them for plate solve to work. Eventually I figured it out. Right now, I don't remember where I put them.

Hi JT and Steve,
My UCAC3PS folder is in the root of C:\. As are PlateSolve2.28 and Platesolver.
Well GOOD NEWS!!!
Everything worked and the NSEW slew speeds were perfect. I did have trouble at first because once everything was hooked up the mount wouldn't start tracking! Yikes!!!! That meant no
So, being the cool customer that we all know and love (chuckle) I did the following:
1) Turned off PHD2 and
2) Started
3) Next connected the mount, and, it was happy again.
4) Next started PHD2 and connected it to
With that sequence of connecting things,
With everything now working I slewed to Capella for the 1-star alignment. I clicked on Point Craft, entered Capella as the object and clicked solve. Voila!!!! It solved in about 5 sec. I then did the Sync and then
It's a strange but wonderful feeling when everything works. I amazed myself.
Thanks all for the help and suggestions. Hopefully connecting the items in this order will continue to make everything happy.
Time for dinner (8:15 pm). Then bring in the equipment. The moon is too bright even for my Duo Narrowvband filter.
Cheers,
Steve
