I did not post this, Bill did. (note double >>)

What it sounds like is: folks may not really understand the nature of the problem ... If someone has an issue and can clearly outline what it is, I'll forward it to Dan Bisque .... What I'd like to

Glenn: issuing a Sync is a USER intervention and NOT something that TheSky6 does on its own. In what context are you speaking? And if someone really thinks this happens, has anyone ever mentioned it

*> ***I had tried ports COM1 through to 5 in Pulseguide to no success. In TheSky, only COM1 & COM2. I will check them again. Try several. I can assure you that ***YES Wait until you are an expert

Hi Josep, What COM port have you selected? Try several. I can assure you that COM1 will not be available, and probably not COM2, so just work your way through the ports up to 10 or so. Do

Hello, I am still getting familiar with my almost new (second-hand) AP900 mount. I love the hand controller a lot, find the menus so much easier to use than my old mount. OK, here is the problem I am

Thanks Glenn, That proves my point - who is going to blink first? Since there is no agreed upon standard for choosing to issue a "Sync or a Recal", then it makes sense for the AP firmware

previously so perhaps a search of the archives is in order ?. The Sky doesn't do an RCAL. They (Bisque)apparently know better than Roland and doing a sync with the scope 1 arc second beyond a flip

Hi Steve, There has been no change. You are visualizing the adjustment knob from the bottom, he is visualizing it from the top. Mag. 7 skies! Howard Hedlund Astro-Physics,

Roland, Has there been a change in the AP1200 elevation adjustment? I have an AP1200GTO maybe 3 years old (it's an early CP3) and turning the elevation adjustment in a clockwise direction (standing

Maybe the answer to this whole issue is to change the AP firmware so that "Sync = Recal", an to do an actual AP type Sync, you use a two button sequence. Shouldn't be a problem, since Sync is

Alan -- I believe both of them do a "sync". "Additional align" is slightly different as it's adding a data point to a model. I don't believe either driver (ASCOM or The Sky) knows about AP's

Hi all, I am newbie user of an AP1200GTO. When I am connected to the mount via the Ascom driver via The Sky telescope API, does the "sync" do a "recal" or a "sync"? There was a question that I did

Thanks - a good point - I will do likewise. Perhaps AP could "institutionalise" your modification. Murray Barry Megdal <bmegdal@...> wrote: One of the

One of the first things I did when I got my AP1200 was to put a little dot of epoxy on the Stop key, which makes it easy to find your way around the arrow keys by feel. - Barry Dr.

My recommendation for the new keypad would be some sort of moulding on the directional keys to allow you to feel when you have the right button under your fingers as you try to adjust onto a star
