Got my new 600E GOTO on Mrach 27th. Received note on Friday April 7th with this info which is applicable to scopes delivered after Feb. 25. In short - the red light turns yellow when the scope is

This method has been around for about a year. By now I think it could have been included in the latest manuals and it would be nice to see it posted on the AP web page. endlessly on this few

Anyone know what the tip polarity is on the DC power cable? Is the tip center negative or positive?

Chris, I had the same experience as you when I first started using the 600 mount. As Marj pointed out, just snug up the clutch knob a bit. Thats the first I've heard of the power light turning yellow

I apologize for the repeating identical posts... My ISP seems to be expeiencing major hiccups! I usually view and respond to this group via my browser, but it seems to be choking on the SMTP

Chris, Sounds like your clutch knob was not fully engaged. Try tightening it up a bit, especially if you have a heavier load. Marjorie Christen Astro-Physics

I understand that in time we will be able to update the software controlling the AP GOTO mounts via the internet. I do hope so! Anyway, additional catalogs would be nice. Some suggestions: The ARP

I'm using my new AP600E (one star polar alignment mode) at 1200X moving from Sirius to Polaris. Works okay then moving back to Sirius the scope stops moving in Dec about half way back although

AP GTO'ers, Yes, I know. Aligning the AP GTO mounts has been discussed endlessly on this group. By now, everyone who has owned their GTO for more than a few months has long since mastered the

It's out of my hands. The accountant commands and I reach for the checkbook. Do you happen to know whether A-P purchases can somehow be deducted? :-) Thanks: that's the plan.

Paul- Thanks. I'm trying to extrapolate (?) the date mine might be shipped. I confirmed Feb. 7th or 8th. The delivery date is supposed to be May to July. Maybe they are slightly ahead. I guess

Hi Chuck, AP does indeed notify you prior to shipment. That's when you come up with the rest of the $$$ for your purchase ;-) I ordered at the end of January and had everything in my possession

Hi all - Well, I've had my 600 for a few weeks now, and I've actually had a few nights that were clear! My initial comments relative to the mount will surely echo what others have said. In short,

Paul, Great! I have two questions, and forgive me if it has been answered here already. Does A-P call or notify you some time prior to shipment? Also, what was your order date, and original estimated

Hi All: If anyone is interested I have posted some photo's on my web page of the AP 400, 600, and 1200 mounts that Roland and Marj brought to AstroFest last September. Go to my web page

There's still a lot of fun to be had before IRS sends me my refund and I can go computer shopping. IRS!!! REFUND!!! Yikes, that'll be the day when I give 'em 1 cent more than I absolutely, positively
