Glad to hear it.


I'll update the manual and include some notes on that.


I still plan on adding the ability to fill in the calibration settings via an Apple Script command.

Milton,


Went through the steps again as you posted. Tracking like a charm now. Apple Script is running and taking a 200 frame video every three minutes. This is just way too cool. So nice to not have to babysit the mount.

3) How good is your mount for polar alignment? I usually check it using "Analyze RA-Dec Tracking" on a  star, but a bright inverted sunspot at the center of the Reticule should work too.


HTH..
