Getting prepared for Bode
Mar 15, 2020 20:28:06 #
The end of 2019 and 2020 has started out so bad , since getting my new Meade mount . That really came as a shock since all my lil' Squirt's health issues. I started cleaning up my old files from 2019 and gave ole' Bode another attempt at processing. This is the worst year so far but, I keep my head up.

It's not as I really wanted it , try try try and one day it'll all come together.

Looks Great, Ronnie!
I'm forced to do my imaging and mount work indoors.
I've been running through my files, and trying to get a handle on Plate Solving.
I'm making progress, but can't do a real test with our storms stacked up.
Gonna be one hell of a Brush Fire Season at this rate. I expect 10' weeds on the hills.

I've not been able to do squat so far this year , plate solving is great once you understand . I've had so many difficulties trying to get this mount to work with pc control , it seems to be a driver thing . It'll slew with the handpad to where it needs to go but, plug it into a pc and nothing. I'm tired of "kicking the dirt" Orion has left my view and all those goodies around it , so it's on to galaxies .

I think I'm almost there.
I was hoping for something familiar, like the way Stellarium can be directed to go here, or go there.
But so far, I'm taking it there, then Plate Solving to get things on track.
Not what I was hoping for.
Plus the Infinity has been a booger to get to cooperate with taking pictures. But that may be coming to an end and working now. But I need to be able to see the darn sky.
Back on your problem....
I've seen where all the drivers had to be removed, then a fresh install. That gets the computer to the correct driver, instead of seeing 4 of the same driver, and not knowing which to open. So it stops.
A friend pointed out he had to remove excess drivers after a bad update was released on a certain camera. The Update lacked the removal stroke, and added drivers on top of drivers, compounding the programs difficulty to open them.
Once the drivers were removed, then a clean install was made, the program worked. But it was the software engineers lack of vision when he modified the program, then his denial his revision had a bug in it.
I hope he is in a soup line somewhere, and not dabbling in code.
Long ago, I needed to eradicate AOL from my computer. I did the removal Windows offered (I think it was Windows 95). But then had to Search for AOL, and found a bunch of carp lurking in the deep places of the hard drive. Once ferreted out, I could remove them and they went out the fan in a cloud of green fart dust.
So maybe you could do a search to seek and destroy duplicate driver files. Or do a remove of the program, then the seek and destroy of the left over drivers.
Once you get a clean search, then do a single, clean install.
If you find a driver file with a 1, or 2, or 3, added to it, those are duplicates and they fubar your computers brain. Clean files don't have added numeric codes.
But when in doubt, don't throw it out. If it warns you it may be in use by another program, and you rip it out, something else might stop working.
So it's kinda like being a monkey picking off bugs. Go slow.
The sky isn't being nice, so you have time right now.

That sounds all good but, I know that my Meade driver requires other drivers to perform what I need it to do. I really think that might help put the finger on it , I just had to put all them drivers back in after the reset and I guess " fighting myself " isn't doing me any good,because I don't want to spend the day messing with those darn drivers so soon. It's a catch 22 damned if I don't and damned if I do. I know what I'm doing tomorrow "all day. Thanks Sonny , that's sound advice ? I'll give it a go and see what I can strip out of this lil' brain in my computer.
