Yes this is a fairly easy fix and AP, but I hear of this happening so often that I feel it is a minor design flaw in the RAPAS. That small set screw never seems quite tight enough to prevent rotation

You can adjust it under the night sky, I had the same thing happen. First center the reticle on Polaris. Then raise the altitude adjuster to move Polaris to the outer circle. If it lies on the 24h

Ah this is a bad news. I think I need to return the scope to AP for service. I'm not confident that I can adjust that. The unit needs dead on accuracy. It is strange that this happens. I never touched

Yes, when looking down into the eyepiece the 0/24hour division on the reticle is parallel to the objective tube and points directly at the objective end. ---In ap-gto@..., <malonee72@...> wrote: Hi

Hi Don, Is 24h position pointing directly toward the RAPAS objective lens direction in your scope? Thank you. Donghun

That is very interesting. I had to visually recreate this with my arms to understand what you are doing. The only failure scenario is hitting the ground. As long as the whole setup clears the

Sounds like the set screw locking that round ring which the led reticle threads into has come loose and the ring has turned. You can simply loosen the set screw located in the body of the RAPAS at the

Alternately, you can also set the Meridian Delay from the Ascom driver if you want to keep your computer connected. Don Anderson

Yes, please. I'm currently contemplating a single case with lift off cover rather than hinged or dual Pelican cases. For the weight, the one time hoist of both pieces, the price is less than 2

I got a case from ScopeGuard, unfortunately they are no longer on business.

What case did you use for your mach 1. I’ve been trying to work out what to use. Rgrds-Ross

Still open to suggestions. Thanks!

I use a case with pp honeycomb sandwich panel custom-built by a local manufacturer for my 160EDF. The weight is much less than the original one and it works great for hand transport. I will do so for

Definitely would like to see it - thanks!

I can send pics to you if interested.

Thanks Paul, with my Mach1 I kept it assembled with the cabling intact. Don't want to try to horse the complete 1100 around as one piece. Will look into the Pelican cases

Robert, Thanks for your reply. > An A-P mount will not flip unless you tell it to do so. Well, I'm no expert on this, but I do know that mount-control software wants to know whether it's controlling a

I use Pelican cases. I use a 1620 for the RA assembly and hand control and a 1610 for the Dec assembly, counterweight shaft, GTOCP3 and DOVELM162. I do through the mount cabling in the field, but find

i’m currently looking at these people as they can make custom size case : http://www.casetechnology.com/ I already have a Pelican case for my 900GTO but I’m looking for a case for my AT12RC. As

Preparing for my 1100 to arrive in April! Wondering what other owners are using, now that ScopeGuard cases are no longer available. Probably would want a separate case for each component. For those
