Hello all, Well along time since I have posted to the users-group. I have been hard at work helping to build the next drop of the GTO A/P mount hand controller code, you all WILL BE VERY PLEASED

Hi all! I have completed the first "limited" production run of the adapter plates for the TMB 105/650 and Astro-Physics equatorial mounts. The bottom plate provides 5 positions in which to mount an

In all likelihood, when the camera's internal computer starts up, it goes through an initialization sequence. During this time, the state of the "switches" which drive the guider port can be in an

This may be in the wrong forum but here goes. (Apologies if it is.) My AP600E and ST-7E have developed a peculiarity. When I plug all the cables in (as recommended). I've polar aligned with eyepiece

Seems that there is some error on the way dsv looks up for the controller in SNP. I installed the software on a winME machine when DSV is started, linked to scope and then try to link bridge to snp,

Hi Jeff, I believe Bill used a 1200GTO with his 12.5" RC for that shot (he also has a 900GTO). -Ray

One might note that that nice picture of M42 in the current S&T was taken with a 12 inch on a 900GTO.

Hi Dan: Yes, the 1200 is definitely overkill for the 130 EDF. I got the big mount because I will be getting a 12.5 inch RC soon. (I may try the RC + 130 EDF + guidescope all together on the 1200!) For

Sorry group... ATT is having server problems AGAIN and the above link is currently out of service - although, based upon past ATT glitches, it should be up sometime today. (Those of you thinking

Hi All, Well My AP1200 out of the box experience is not quite as I would have hoped. In about ten days of use I have had a DEC drive failure. I don't know if It can be fixed in the field or not. I

After getting a pointer from Mike Cook to a double star list (Thanks Mike): http://www.cyburban.com/~mrf/a.htm I threw together a short list for anybody who might be interested. I certainly haven't

HI Daniel, Compared to the 1200 AP mount, the 900 is a much lighter load to carry and to heft atop a portable pier. Unless you need the extra weight and torque capacity (consider any larger scopes

Hi Bert, Thanks for the valuable input. One question re. the loading: with the 130EDF plus the 80mm f11 guidescope your 1200GTO must have lots of "reserve" left. Are you using another

Hi Dan: I use the Losmandy side-by-side plate on my 1200GTO. Expensive but works very nicely for a 130 EDF plus the 80 mm f11 guidescope. There is enough room for larger scopes on both sides. I had

While waiting for notification on the 900GTO mount, I am pondering what will be the best way to attach both my 155EDF AND Traveler to the mount. Experience tells me to keep both instruments as close
