Re: [APML] Calibrating STV axes independently

["Jim Janusz" <jjanusz@dc.rr.com>]

Hi Guys,

I've been away for a few days and just saw this thread.  My only comment is
that it works for me.  I just select the first set of axis and calibrate,
then do the second set.

If it isn't working my best guess is that something else in wrong with your
mount setup for calibration.

Do both axis fail?  What is the failure?  What is your guide scope fl and
are you doing a long enough move?

Jim
