On Step And ASCOM

[@PVTChungus]

Thank you for this, I have trying with a mobile app and getting nowhere. Followed your video , it made everything easy. Had my first night imaging thanks to you

[@BackgardenUFOS]

Fantastic video, just set up onstep on my EQ-5 mount built it all running. Just needed to connect it brilliant video. Thank you so much.

[@doantuanduong]

Thank you very much. I'm looking at an onstep-based harmonic mount called UMI-17 from China

Thanks Chad big help.

Me again Chad is it possible you can do a video of how I get ASCOM hub I’ve down loaded on pc but all I get is this ASCOM diagnostic box turns up

[@ChadGrays]

If you hit the windows button on the bottom left or middle (win11) then type "ASCOM Hub" into the search the program should pop up. Then you can add a shortcut to it if you want with a right click.

[@barrydesmond9288]

[@barrydesmond9288]

This is all new to me sorry should have said that first and my know how with pc is zero on know how 😢

[@ChadGrays]

@@barrydesmond9288 There are so many variables.... hard to say. I dont see you as a customer of mine. Your best bet is to try the OnStep group. onstep.groups.io/g/main/topics

[@barrydesmond9288]

[@barrydesmond9288]

Thanks to you and this video I got it sorted just wish I found it 4 hours before I was trying to wing it lol

Hola amigo
Tengo una pregunta, la hora local del device hub no es la misma que la de tu ordenador como cambio eso, lo he podido hacer en el mando, pero en device hub no, ademas creo que si estan mal alineadas las horas no apuntara correctamente mi telescopio, como puedo cambiar la hora en device hub?
Saludos desde chile.

[@ChadGrays]

I did not see you message. I would make sure you have the right UTC offset. I use the Android App to synchronize date/time/GPS and the smart web server to synchronize date/time/GPS

[@IvoHenrique1975]

La hora no era correcta depende de la temporada en la que estabas en ese momento. Debido a que Onstep está programado para trabajar con el calendario juliano el cual no tiene diferencia de zona horaria, aplicaciones como Stelarium, carta celeste, Skysafary, entre otras también funcionan con el calendario juliano pero nos muestran la hora actual con la zona horaria que es la hora de el calendario gregoriano, que es el que usamos mundialmente, pero lo que cuenta a nivel sideral es el calendario juliano. Entonces, lo más importante es seguir los pasos de la aplicación Onstep, que es emparejar el periférico, conectar con Onstep, configurar la hora, hacer la alineación con al menos 3 estrellas, mantener Onstep en segundo plano después de la alineación y encender en el telescopio con la aplicación que vas a utilizar sea ​​este cualquiera de los que mencioné en las líneas anteriores o cualquier otro, después de hacer esto, el telescopio llegará donde quieras. Saludos y cielos despejados.

I may be a little stupid and ignorant, but in my opinion, what you people who do tutorials are doing wrong is the fact that there is no equal, you are convinced that everyone already has all the basics on these products, but in this way, you only send people in confusion. I've been trying to get onstep to work for 2 weeks, I've watched a thousand tutorials, and I had to reinstall windows due to the mess you made me make. I think that, thanks to you, I will give up astronomy.

[@ChadGrays]

I have been at OnStep for 4 years and I am still learning. It is extremely complex. A massive mix of subjects like electrical, mechanical and software engineering. Astronomy is already hard enough. OnStep is not for the faint of heart. Good luck! Sometimes it is best to cut your losses and move on to something that makes you happier

[@bobbysolo3335]

It's not a question of "heart", it's a question of mental predisposition, my mind is not suited to software, and I agree, but the fact that you are making too much confusion in making tutorials, each with its own drivers, plug ins , platforms etc etc, but how many are there? Take a look around the web and you'll see. Even the AI is confused, I tried to ask it a few questions about it and it replied that "there are too many variations and that it cannot be precise", in fact what it managed to tell me was even more confusing... .@@ChadGrays
