De-Rotation over 220degrees

Post by astrobear »

Hello,
i’m using the Falcon Rotator especially for derotation in combination with my alt/az mount. I have installed the unity software and it worked well so far until the derotation comes to 220degrees where it stops. I’ ve read about the cable wrap prevention at 220degrees but in derotation mode it’s really annoying. So is there a way to let the user decide whether to stop at 220degree or not? In the meantime i have to reset the counter to zero when starting a photosession and keep my fingers crossed to come through the night.

This is something we never thought of! Will fix it in the upcoming firmware release!
