Re: Astro-Physics status during IL shut-down
Worsel
I received a notice from UPS. The following is extracted from the notice. Something similar from FEDEX.
Bryan ----------- We want to do all we can to keep you informed as the efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus continue. We’d like to reassure you that UPS operations and The UPS Store® locations have been designated by the Governors’ offices in all 50 states as critical infrastructure, and we continue to pick up and deliver, even in restricted areas.

This is the best app to use with RAPAS. It considers refraction that can be significant at lower latitudes.

Re: RAPAS App
I don't know how I missed that link on their page. It goes to the PolarFinder app we were discussing so I guess that's that. Thanks for the info! Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

Re: RAPAS App
I have the PolarFinder (blue icon) app and it seems to work ok. I was just curious if there was an actual AP made version. Thanks everyone, I'll continue with the one I have :) Thanks, Charles Sent from mobile device.

It’s not that critical. If you post the link to the latest update I’d just download it directly.

Re: Mach1 Unable to Find Home Position Suddenly
Donald Rudny
Hi Ray,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Like I said, I’m not a computer expert, but I was a test engineer, so I know one of the best ways to troubleshoot is to eliminate components out of a system if you can to see how things react. My suggestion in this case is a simple one to try. Mikko thinks it’s his mount. Using Luminous and eliminating his computer and APCC would determine that. If it still has the problem then at least we know it’s not the software or driver. Just trying to help. Don Don Rudny

Re: RAPAS App
Woody Schlom
Charles,
You want the Android APP called “PolarFinder.” There are several APP’s with almost the same name. You want the one with an icon with a blue background and the Little Dipper in yellow stars. On the Google Play Store it says it’s by “TechHead.” It’s written by a guy named Jozef Lazar. It’s not a free program, but it’s cheap. And it’s terrific.
Not only does it have a reticule setting for the A-P RAPAS polar scope, but also Tak EM-10, EM-11, EM-400, and a couple of iOptron polar scopes.
Make sure you go into the Tools section (Wrench icon) and set the APP for the RAPAS. Once done, the screen looks just like the RAPAS reticule. Just use your mount’s Alt. and Az. adjusting bolts to put the real Polaris in the RAPAS reticule where the APP shows it on the screen.
Once you get the hang of it, it should only take a few seconds.
I highly recommend it. It’s what I’ve used on my Tak EM-11, Mach1 with RAPAS, and iOptron iEQ45-PRO for years.
Woody

From time to time I see someone mention the RAPAS phone app. I have looked in the app store and have never found it. Is it only in the Apple store? I'm looking for the Android version of it exists. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Charles
