Peter and William,
I should have explained I am installing Maxim on a new computer.
I followed your instructions but don’t see any numbers or i value?
Thanks for your inputs,
JackRobin,
‘I recall you have a remote adjustment, could this have been preloading it causing premature wear’?Are you advising against motorising the micrometer ?
Regards,
JackRobin,
I have released the collar. When tightened then slackened a fraction of a turn the micrometer is easier to turn.
It may be worth an overhaul as you suggest.
Thanks for your advices,
JackRobin,
It became increasingly tight over time.
From your photos and comparing with the other Lhires the collar looks engaged.
I will overhaul it as you suggest.
Question 1; What lubricant should be used and is there a risk of it getting on the grating?
The remote adjustment is the motorised collimating lens.
Regards,
JackRobin,
Thanks for the photos.
I will have another go at removing the grub screw.
I have another Lhires could swap micrometer shafts see if that works.
Regards,
JackRobin,
I can’t loosen the tiny crosshead grub screw which must be very tight.
Is there a particular type of screwdriver or extractor?
Regards,
JackPaul and William,
Issue 1 solved.
Issue 2 unsolved I will follow your instructions and report back.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP,
JackI am intrigued to know what the application is with two similar scopes like this on the same mount pointing at the same target.
Robin,
Just toying with the idea of doing high and low resolution Spectroscopy at the same time.
JackMartin and Grant,
Thanks for your advices.
It would be expensive and not really feasible.
If you don’t ask you don’t know!
JackRobin and David,
I downloaded latest version guide will read to further understand how PHD2 works.
So far,so good.
JackRobin and David,
I have used the set up wizard in PHD2 to reconfigure the settings for my rig.
Just need a clear night to test the guiding, fingers crossed.
Jack
