For owners of a TAKometer who use CCDAutoPilot 3, I have a question relating to camera rotation.
During an evening's imaging run when the object crosses the Meridian and CCDAutoPilot 3 tells TAKometer to rotate the camera 180 degrees .... which direction (CCW or CW) does TAKometer rotate ...? (standing at the back of the scope looking forward) I'm just planning on camera positioning so that nothing gets hung up during the rotation process.

Hi Denny,

The TAKometer has a rotational range of -180 to +180. Depending on where the TAKometer is, it will rotate 180° so that it stays within that range.

I would think that would depend on the initial angle before the flip. The Takometer rotates +/- 180 degrees from its "0" position. So depending on where you calibrated the Takometer in reference to TheSky6 North angle, it could move either way. Best way to make sure nothing gets hung up is to start the camera at the +180 position and send it to the -180 position. The rotator should be able to move the full 360 without having any cables wrap up or get caught on anything. I use auto wire raceway to run my cables from the camera. This keeps them together and has a much larger outside diameter than a single cable. That helps it slide by places that might snag a single cable. HTH ......

Thanks for your inputs. This helped...
