Basically, the 'custom RA/Dec' is the same as the 'PC object'. Not surprised that the AP control is as good as the Gemini. Actually, there are situations where Gemini wants to additional

Thanks for your description. It saves some time for the 'poor relative'. I have to think how this relates to similar commands of my Gemini. As they say 'let me think'. Best, LN

Not only does this make sense, but it answers the original request for a way to put the keypad back in control after using a planetarium program slew. THANKS, Roland! Dick Steinberg selected by

Interesting. I am using TheSky6 exclusively with my Gemini for remote control and, as far as I can tell, it calculates meridian line correctly. No idea about the horizon, I do not want to have

PEC is stored in the GTOCPx control box. You can turn it on or off from either the keypad or a PC, but it is stored and maintained in the GTO control box. Mag. 7 skies! Howard

I trained my PEC of my AP900 GTO2 last night and was wondering where it is stored. Is it the hand controller or the GTO module? If my scope is controlled by a laptop and the handcontroller is not

Thanks Rolando, That clarifies it for me. Joe

Howard, Disregard my previous email. I inadvertently had TheSky telescope option set to Telescope API rather than AP Goto. Sorry for

Howard, I have the latest version of TheSky6 Pro and when I connect my Mach1 to TheSky the only options I have under Telescope/Options are Focus Control and Abort Slew. All I did was initialize the

I cannot speak to earlier versions, but I just tested TheSky6's Park functions on a test mount that I have set up here at Astro-Physics. The latest version of TheSky6 with the latest "Hot Fixes"

Hi Rolando, I wasn't aware about the fine point of having to select a previous "specific named object" (star, galaxy, nebula, etc.), for the RECAL to work. So, just issuing a GOTO to a RA-DEC

Ok, I got it now, finally :) Thanks

As the other poster asked, if for some reason we would want to change over to the handbox after using a planetarium program. But I do understand how to correctly use Synch as opposed to recal. And
