Re: Extension for Tripod
Hi, George:
Does the EAGLE6E8 also work with the old wood AWT000 tripod, fitted with an ADATRI? I am guessing that, if used in this manner, the base of the Mach1GTO would plop into the open top of the

Ross,
We have the 8” Eagle Pier Extension (EAGLE6E8) which will work well with the Berlebach tripod. See:

Re: Attaching AP1100 to Pier?
Great info Peter. I can tell right away that the AP knobs probably wouldn't have enough clearance. I may give those thumbscrews a try though. Thanks for the photo - it's worth a thousand words. Any

Attaching AP1100 to Pier?
Just got my 1100 - what a beautiful piece of engineering and manufacturing! So many little improvements over the Mach1. Just the fact that you can take the Dec top plate off and on with 2 knobs,

Re: AP ASCOM driver runtime error
Ray,
I will post the log files when I get home.
I use Windows 7 and Mach1GTO.
I'm not sure about the control box.
Do you mean the chip revision?
Thank you.

Hi Eric......
I have very interested in converting my setup to a RigRunner setup. Would you be kind enough to send me a list of the necessary components, perhaps a diagram of the connections/routing

Re: AP ASCOM driver runtime error
There is a AP Log Zipper utility that is installed with the driver (it's mentioned in the help file).
Also, which operating system, control box, and mount you are using?
