Anyone have any opinions on the AAM? I'm interested in it. In particular,how well does it work and can you specify a particular RA/Dec to go to?Also, if I manually move the Dec/RA of the scope (i.e.
By releasing theclamps and moving the tube with my hands), does the AAM track my movementsso the RA/Dec that it reports are correct OR do I always have to move thescope using the AAM? I'm curious since I found one for a good price and wasinterested in hearing if it is worth it.-Rob MillerRemove the 'x.' In front of myemail address to send me email.Chuck Hancock DMD24.04.99 00:00. Rob,I.think.
the AAM is the same as my Lumicon NGC SkyVector from Lumicon.If so, it tells you whare to point, but all the movement is done theold-fashioned way. With the SkyVec, there are three models, ditto theOrion model, and these appear to be the same, only relabeled, too.You can use the RA/Dec mode, and the handheld computer device tells youwhere your telescope is pointing. The SkyVec is always On, so it knowswhere you are pointing at all times.If the price is Really Good, get it, but beware of hidden costs, likethe mounting hardware. BTW, Lumicon has 8192-step encoders available.Regular Strength. encoders are 2000-step, and I've seen 4000-stepencoders advertized as Hi-resolution. OTOH, if the mounting hardware isincluded w/ your deal, and it was designed For Your Telescope, it maymake for a very well integrated package, possibly better than a3d-party's hardware mounting scheme.Best regs,Chuck HancockChris Marriott24.04.99 00:00.

A friend of mine has an NGC-Max on his Newt whichhas a typical pointing accuracy of half a degree or so. It's certainly asgood as manual setting circles, but not in the same league as devices likethe LX200.You are aware, presumably, that it won't move the telescope for you? It hasan object library, and when you select a device it shows you which way tomove the telescope to get there.Also, if I manually move the Dec/RA of the scope (i.e.

If, however, you've got the chance of getting an AAM at a goodprice then go for it - it's a heck of a lot better than nothing!Chris-Chris Marriott, SkyMap Software, UK Visit our web site atAstronomy software written by astronomers, for astronomersRob Miller24.04.99 00:00.
Thanks for the information. I was aware that it wouldn't 'slew' the scopelike, say, an ETX. I wanted something that would be a little better/moreaccurate than old-fashioned setting circles to aid in my CCD work.
I'vebeen pretty successful the old-fashioned way, but wanted to see if I couldimprove my object location ability with a digital type readout and accuratetracking. Based on some of the private emails I've received, it sounds likethe digital approach may help me out. I also wanted to connect it to a fewsoftware packages that I have so I could see where I was on the computerscreen.-Rob MillerRemove the 'x.'

The cost would be for both the AAM and the Encoder. I'm going to use it onmy Celestar Deluxe. I didn't original buy their computerized versionbecause it was about $600 more. But, since I can get the pieces that wouldhave been included in the computerized version for a lot less than the $600additional cost, I thought it would be worth it.-Rob MillerRemove the 'x.'

In particular,Well, I have an older model (1990) and it hasn't worked very well for me.The Polar alignment mode is a joke and to top it off, I was told byCelestron that there is no way for me to upgrade the ROM/software.What?? I've upgraded my NGC-MAX three times.
The program and databaseare all on a single chip. And what is especially odd is that the outsidebox says Celestron on it, as well as JMI Jim's Mobile Industries. SLMR 2.1a.

Rob, if you want to connect the DSC box to a PC, you would be better off goingwith the Sky Commander for $275. It has a pretty simpleinterface which reads out the RA and DEC coordinates, once you have it set up.Most of the Tangent boxes (all of them??) only send out direct encoder readings,as pointed by Chris Marriott in earlier postings, which means you have tore-align using PC software.
Sky Map Pro works with the Sky Commander, but notthe Tangent boxes for example. What the other programs (TheSky, Guide, etc) workwith, I don't know.Alan FiggattRob Miller wrote: Thanks for the information. I was aware that it wouldn't 'slew' the scope like, say, an ETX.

Rob -I wish we had the same - you've got the deluxe model.I had to purchase theDEC motor separately and enjoy the 'non-stability' and 'inaccuracy' of theWedgepod as opposed to the wedge and a better tripod.
In addition to that,yours has better drive accuracy and PEC.Anyway, the AAM works great. Basically, you align on two stars (it has adatabase of 28 bright alignment stars) and then make adjustments accordinglyuntil you've got a polar alignment to your satisfaction.
Scroll to any objectin the database, and it tells you how far to move the scope in RA and DEC. Asyou approach the target, the numbers reduce. Once you're at 0.0 and 0.0 takea look in the eyepiece. Usually the object will be within the field of viewof the included 25mm SMA eyepiece.
If not, a little scanning up and down andright and left will locate it visually. IMPORTANT. There was a critical mis-print in the manual concerningthe initial setup of the AAM. In the SETUP Mode, step 9 stated that AZ shouldbe set to +4000. It should read -4000.
It took a few.VERY. frustratingmonths to get this figured out.
I could almost always align on one star,sometimes two, but when it came to locating an object, I'd often find thescope aiming at my lovely patio! I would have had this cleared up a lotsooner than I did if had just called Celestron (which I finally did and theywere very helpful.)Good luck - let me know if I can be of any further help.

The encoders were neververy accurate and I could use the manual seting circles and starhopping techniques much easier than farting around trying to get theadvanced astromaster to accurately read-out my ra and dec.By the way, the astromaster computer will not improve tracking as youmentioned for a reason to purchase in one of your earlier posts.
