The theory that describes how a derotator works can be found here. Important: The Field Derotator only works with setups that have an off-axis guider. The off-axis guider must rotate with the camera for derotation to work properly. hitpssrawgitcomveytan2sert otatorimastorontond!dorouneplitroductonntroguction ml+8)05:2020 hps:rawgitcomieytan299Nl_derottormasteiranterdderovnefplntodctontnraduction Nm The Field DeRotator consists of three parts: Interface © Controller * DeRotator ‘These parts are described in the next two sections. The Parts of the DeRotator System Interface This is the user interface that runs on a Mac. The interface connects to the controller via either wifi or a serial line. The user interface is unnecessary for controling the DeRotator system because the controller can be used in standalone mode. The instructions for using the interface can be found here wi me Suthep Hone Controller The controller is the unit that powers the derotator and allows the user to control it, The controller can be used in standalone mode user control with the interface described above. ‘The instructions for using the controller can be found here hitpsrawgit.comveytan290ild_derotatorimasterfontendideroUnelpintroductioninracuton htm18/05/2020 hitpsrawgit.comveytan299rila_derottorimasterrontendiderothelplntroductiorvinroducton html DeRotator The derotator that is the interface between the imaging camera to the telescope.
