I use Pinpoint with MaximDL6.11 and The Sky6. I have had this software suite for many years and I know it is old but it is solid stable and just works. Don Anderson

Thanks, that's good to understand. Sent from my Galaxy

The factory curve is a perfect fit when the mount comes from the factory. After a number of years, the gears will polish up a bit more and the curve should be re-done. -Christopher

Just a clarification, the factory PE curve can be improved upon? Thanks, Chris

Roland, Marcelo brings up a good point. My impression was there was some benefit to building a model even when guiding or without encoders, is this not true? I will likely add encoders at some

Thank you Brian and Linwood - exactly the info / reassurance I was looking for, Pinpoint it is. Especially appreciate your insight re: TSX, Linwood - it seemed like overkill for my use, but wanted

If you are using the key pad, a dead battery can certainly corrupt the database for the M objects but, as I've experienced, stars and planets will slew to just fine. So it's odd that you got errant

Battery in Pendant is dead

Hi I have returned to astrophotography after a 10 year break and dragged out my AP1200. Its running the GTOCP3 version. Problem I am having is the mount wont slew to objects correctly. For

APPM and all its functions can be used with the 1100 non-encoder mount. All you need to do is make a good PE curve using PEMPro and you should be set for some decent unguided imaging. PEMPro came with

APPM is very easy to use, I use it with SGP/ASTAP without any problem. I guess with Pinpoint it should be no different. However I am not sure if the investment in APCC Pro/APPM is worth it for a

I have TSX as part of a Paramount MyT, and am waiting on an AP1100 and wondering about the same thing, but I would strongly suggest that TSX is like swatting a fly with a sledge hammer. The plate

HI Jil i have excellent results with Pinpoint. we do unguided imaging at 0.63" so APPM is vital for what we do yes it costs a bit and it's not free like ASTAP, but given your requirements i think that

Hi all, New and very excited owner of a 1100GTO (no encoders) and getting ready to start. Unfortunately (?) with this big step up in mount I decided it was time to migrate from ASIAIR and so I'm in

Thank you Liam. I realize its for the Mac, maybe I mispoke, I just wanted to ensure it would work with CP4. The AP website only listed the older version in the link so I wasnt sure. Thank you, Todd

Here is a photo of the resulting produce when the negative east values are subtracted from the west limits. Again, my initial east/west limit map isn’t symmetric. Regards, Eric

Ray, I’ve got a follow on question to this topic. I created a detailed meridian tracking limit for my setup (Mach2/Tak 130NFB). The limits ended up not being symmetric for east and west, with

Howdy, The FTDI driver is for your computer, and not for the CP4 or CP5. With it, your computer will be able to communicate with anything that has an FTDI chip, not just the CP4 and CP5. 2.4.4

To better clarify, I dont know if 2.4.4 works with USB on GTOCP4 and GTOCP5.

I did that and assume its at this page but I would prefer not to guess. https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ It looks like the same URL on the astro-physics page and the VCP driver page under
