MTSca Pro Description

MTSca is a powerful application that allows you to control the MTS-3SDI controller from a PC. The main idea is to provide manual remote control, GOTO, PEC training, autoguiding and solar system tracking. MTSca communicates with the MTS-3SDI over a serial cable. The PC needs a serial port (or a USB to serial port replicator). The serial communication employs baudrate 9600, bytesize 8, no parity and one stop bit, i.e. the default MTS-3SDI setting. You should not normally have to adjust anything. The program automatically reads the MTS-3SDI EEPROM memory containing mount configuration information, and the dipswitches #9 and #10 which control the directions of the RA and DE motors respectively. Main features: Manual scope control: FAST and SLOW slewing Set FAST speed up to 512x Sidereal rate tracking Mean Solar rate tracking Mean Lunar rate tracking Basic GOTO: 3200+ object star catalogue Separate Messier catalogue User defined catalogue support Filter catalogue by magnitudes GOTO to any RA, DEC coordinate GOTO speeds from 4x to 512x Filter by constellation name Sort by constellation, name, RA, DEC or magnitude * No need for axis encoders Optional automatic 'Meridian Flip' Solar system support: Web download of latest orbital elements for comets and asteroids Correct for observer location ALIGN on planets, comets and asteroids GOTO planets, comets and asteroids Magnitudes for planets, comets and asteroids Track planets, comets and asteroids using orbital elements Use ASTORB (Asteroid Orbital Elements Database) Periodic Error Correction (PEC) & Autoguiding: Manual PEC training Automatic PEC training using IRIS autoguiding Automatic PEC training using K3CCDTools2 autoguiding Dead zone control in PEC training and autoguiding Enable/disable PEC Autoguiding RA Optional autoguiding DE Other: DEC drift compensation Support for mounts with different RA and DEC motor gearing Improved support for mounts with different number of teeth on RA and DEC axes Additional 24x and 48x slewing speeds MTS3 firmware compatibility
