Re: Problem Getting APPM to connect to TheSkyX

Thanks Howard, George, and Ray for the help with using APPM and APCC to get a model for pointing and tracking with my AP 1100GTO mount.  After several weeks of effort, it saw "first light" last night, and with about 32 points in the model, it seemed to dramatically improve pointing accuracy.  I have not checked tracking accuracy.  Still things to learn about how to use it, but at least they are communicating TheSkyX now.  

Thanks,
Lee

Thanks Howard.  Your suggestion worked for letting me run APPM as administrator.  Sorry for my ignorance with Windows 10.

I hope to make it out to the observatory to check it out this evening.  It now does allow me to get APPM to connect to TheSkyX Pro camera, where in the past I was getting an ActiveX error at that point, so I am optimistic.  

Thanks,
Lee

APPM can be opened from either the button in APCC, or the Windows Programs Menu under Astro-Physics / APCC Pro /.   To run as administrator, use the link in the Windows Program menu and right click on it.  Then select Run as Administrator.
