Hi, next week i will receive a falcon rotator purchased from TS Italia and i want to know how to increase the accuracy in the derotation function with altazimuth mount using microsteps. In your web site in the specifications in written "Steps per degree: 86.6 steps per degree (31.192 steps per full revolution)
(full step drive – can be increased with microstepping)"
Thanks enrico

It is feasible but it requires a new firmware. However, we strongly suggest trying with the existing full step drive. The resolution is still very high for the derotation.
