Advanced settings are mount-specific control system configuration options that are used for custom (non-
Paramount) mounts. Most advanced parameters
should not be modified for Paramount ME or
Paramount MX mounts
. Each parameter is displayed in the
Description
text box at the boom of the
window. Click the parameter’s name in the tree list to view its current value. Click the
Edit
button to
change the value for this parameter; altered parameters appear in red text.
Common Parameters
The most commonly changed Bisque TCS parameters are described below.
Common Parameter Name Description
Acceleration
The motor's relative acceleration/deceleration setting. Lower numbers
(for example, 250) yield slower acceleration and deceleration while
higher numbers (for example, 750) yield faster acceleration and
deceleration.
Non-sidereal Rate
The non-sidereal rate, in arcseconds per second, is the rate added to or
subtraced from the sidereal tracking rate.
Although this rate can be set manually,
TheSkyX Professional Edition
can
set the rate automatically. See the
Set Track Rates
button
documentation for details how to do this.
Guide Rate (Fraction of
Sidereal)
This value reflects the rate at which the telescope is moved when
autoguider corrections are made.
The general rule of thumb is that the fewer number of corrections to the
mount’s position that are made during autoguided exposures, the better
the resulting star profile. So, a the guide rate of 0.5 sidereal rate (the
default setting) is the optimal value to achieve this goal.
Max Slew Speed (%)
The percentage of the mount's maximum slew rate that is used when
slewing the mount. The default 90 percent.
The Paramount ME’s maximum slew rate in right ascension is 3.5
degrees per second and 5 degrees per second in declination, so
the maximum default slew rate is approximately 3.2 and 4.5
degrees per second.
The Paramount ME II’s maximum slew rate is over 4 degrees per
second in both axes.
