  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about how to use the Profile feature in SkyX.
  • Another participant questions the specific help needed regarding the Profile feature.
  • A participant comments on the high-end nature of Bisque's telescope mounts and suggests that their software may be tailored primarily for Bisque hardware.
  • A user shares their experience with the Paramount ME mount and expresses dissatisfaction with the documentation for the Profile feature, indicating it is inadequate.
  • One participant recommends another forum, Cloudy Nights, as a potentially better resource for astronomy-related queries, particularly regarding Bisque products.
  • A later reply confirms joining Cloudy Nights and mentions that it has many relevant topics about Bisque.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

I'm taking a shot that this forum might know about the software in the title, SkyX. My question is about a feature called Profile. I need some help using it.
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Bisque is a very high end telescope mount manufacturer. I assume their software is equally high end. It's probably unsuited for other than bisque hardware.
 
Yes, I have have their Paramount ME mount, German equatorial.. They provide The Sky X software for a hefty price, which allows one to control the ME. TSX has a feature called Profile, which save data about items like a camera and focuser. The documentation on Profile how to use it, but it's pretty feeble. So if anyone here uses SkyX, I would be interested in their experience with it. Maybe there's a better forum for my question?
 
I don't like to advertise other forums

Good idea. I joined them. They have a lot of topics that involve the Bisque. I posted in a proper forum.
