So, I've done the experiment, have after days and days for a clear night... yeah it's Christmas night too...
1. Mount Type
HEQ5 pro, Rowan belt mod
2. Telescope Type (or PoleMaster)
QHY5 (red one, old style, mono)
**Orion guider**
Aperture 50mm
Focal Length 162mm
3. Hemisphere: North or South.
North
4. Is the camera aligned with the telescope?
It is aligned to the mount (see the following
thread
5. Please record how the image SHIFTS when you adjust the azimuth/altitude knobs:
5.1. Right Azimuth knob: When locking the RIGHT Azimuth knob, how does the image shift in the camera?
Left knob in (facing the mount), mount pushing right, star moves right on screen
5.2. Altitude knob: When lowering the mount (Decreasing Altitude), how does the image shift in the camera?
Altitude knob, back, pushes mount up: start goes down
6. PAA successful or not? Was PPA able to close the gap or it made things worse?
Just check out the screenshots, I've sent my log to Jasem by email as it's too big to attach here.
7. Logs
Yes
5.1/5.2 was a bit weird I must say, at some point the star moved diagonally up/down when moving the RA knobs.
Tests carried out in the same fashion, slew to the same star, rotate West 30° PAA
First PAA session (to check how far out): 45'06" out
I then proceeded with the knobs to align a star where the PAA instructed me to.
Second PAA session: 3'09"
Yeah, now we're talking, OK it took me a while to move the star to the right location, I wanted to nail it.
I was quite happy with this result but no satisfied, as I know I could do better so....
I tried a third time to verify my work and make it better, it is very cold at the moment, the HEQ5 altitude knobs are notorious to be a pain to move...
and I'm like, what the hell !!!!!!
Third PAA session: 58'08"
Now, on 1st and 2nd session, the mount did slew West for all pictures (start to finish), however on the third test, the first slew was West but then the two following slew were East. I have no idea why this is the case.
On top of that, a little bit later on, I tried a fourth attempt..... without touching anything on the mount what-so-ever... oh dear...
