My UPAS is coming in about a month, so I'll try it out. If it doesn't, who can I PAY to make this work?

Hi all.
The UPAS work with a different hardware compared to the Motorized Polar Alignment kit, so this routine won't work with it.
But we are in contact with the N.I.N.A. developer team to develope an automatic polar alignment based on the N.I.N.A. Three Star Polar Alignment tool.
The releasing it may takes a while ...
Best regards

Any chance I can hire someone to write a routine that would automate this for my UPAS? Since it can be used manually, I would think someone could automate the process as has been done for the mount here. I'd pay real honest money! Loot! Dough! Cash on the old kazootskie! I use Voyager and not NINA (though this seems like a job for a standalone script). My UPAS arrives Monday, so I can test it out after that.

As wrote in the previous post, we are already in contact with the N.I.N.A. developer team to develope an automatic polar alignment tool.

As soon as there will be news about it we will share here and on our social channels.

Two things, Stefano:

1. I guess I was hoping for it NOT to be via NINA as I use Voyager for my automation.

2. Can I throw some money at the NINA people to get them to go faster? If so, could you let me know who/what to do that to?

Thanks,

MZ
