I have left my AP900 98% of the year outside just covered in Tarpoline. I only bring it in when a typhoon is coming! Never had a problem with my mount. Although I don't have snow, I do get a lot

I've had my AP 1200 and RCOS 12.5 in a portable shelter for a few years. I haven't had an issue - other then heavy winds banging the shelter around. The system is fairly bombproof from the humidity

Hi gang, Sorry for any cross-posts from the ASCOM group, but here's my problem: I've recently acquired a 600E GTO CP2 (D chip series) and cannot connect to it through any ASCOM platforms. I used to

Thanks Rick. I have to confess, I have processed and re-processed this image until I was happy with it. I got a new laptop at the same time and am having a little trouble calibrating the screen.

Hi Hunter, That is an impressive image. Great details and good color. I am really impressed that this was done with a DSLR. Thanks, Rick be shots image
