Well I don't own the NiteCrawler so I don't use a rotator system but I own a CRL2.5 with the HighRes stepper motor module controlled by the miniV2 box. The mini v2 is connected to my RPI3 and it works perfectly. I hope they will communicate the NiteCrawler's specs to Jasem in order he can add the rotator support. It would be very interesting
I am hoping Moonlight has away to make the Nightcrawler or its like to work with my EdgeHD 11. As I use the Celestron OAG it is a bit of a challenge with the back focus, so I may be using their CHL instead.
Is it reasonable to think the CHL/Nightcrawler would preform similarly with the CRL?
Will do. I am expecting an update this week on whether they have a solution to fit in my back focus limit. I will ask right after that and report back.
There are delays with the LiteCrawler - a version of the NightCrawler that may work with my C11 - so it will be a bit before I can test with it.
In evaluating the purchase, is it likely that the INDI drivers can allow for:
1. Remembering the focus point for later taking flats?
2. Remember the rotation for a CCD sequence so that flats can be taken later
3. Auto rotate to find a star for guiding when using an Autoguider?
Coding is not foreign to me, I would just need to setup the environment sometime, if it can help.
Has anyone been able to try a NiteCrawler with Ekos?
I am wondering if I should continue waiting or look for another solution. If the focuser and rotator do not work with Ekos, I may need to look elsewhere.
