Hi Marj, Any chance some pictures and descriptions of the new counterweight shaft and extension(s) will be added to the website soon? I don't think I'll be changing anything since I already

I realize that the DigitalStar Voice is an old topic, but I just happened to purchase the software from Anacortes for what I hope will prove to be an easier method for controlling my Nexstar GPS

Paramount: Thanks for the answer, Bob. I was hoping you would make a comment about this. reading between the lines it smells like there's perhaps something more to the story than you care to discuss

Hi Bill, When MaxIm first came out with that feature, I asked the same question. Roland said the AP mount is able to accept simultaneous RA/DEC guiding corrections. Having said that, I didn't like

Roland (or others) I was looking through my autogiuider settings in Maxim last night and noticed that the "simultaneous" check box is not checked. If memory serves, this can be set to on? Can you

Ok, Ajai, thanks for the info! I figured you had the DDW. Guess I'll have to go all the way with this, to do it right. I had my eye on the CCDWare stuff. My mount is sitting on the longest pier

I have the DDW hardware from TI. I have no problem with the accuracy of the dome. It works fine even with the meridian flip. Yes I have the remote shutter. The one on my 15' Prodome is more

Roy Uyematsu: much more Just to clarify: "ASCOM" is not a control protocol so comparing it to "LX-200" is comparing apples to oranges. And you don't "use" ASCOM. Think of it this way: ASCOM drivers

Walt Cooney: operation is It's a 2-edged sword. AFAIK (customer inputs to me) you MUST home a Paramount whenever you cold-start it. On the other hand, you can simply turn off the power to the AP with

Hi Ajai! What do you mean by "slaving". To me slaving is when I move the scope and the dome follows. This can be done with DW ($1300 w/motor), or DDW ($2000 w/motor) - but only accurately with

Hi George, I have an AP900 in a TI 10'Dome. I am also going through the process of automating the dome at the moment as well. You are right in that the slit will line up with the azimuth, but DDWCP

Hi George, I am just north of you in Woodinville WA. I have a C-14 on an AP1200 in a 10' Pro Dome. The system is fully automated and the slaving works fine. I do not use the DDW software. I am

Hi George, I also have a PD-10 with an AP-1200GGTO in it. Last year I was all set to sell it and erect a roll off so I could put in a second pier for visual observing. I even had buyer lined up.
