Actually, I just looked it up Error 2. It means "device not found" so check the cable to make sure it is still connected. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Ray, thanks for replying. How do I check that the THUM service is not running in the background? Larry

Hi Larry, Make sure you don't have anything else trying to use the THUM simultaneously. Only one software application at a time is allowed to connect to the THUM. In particular make sure you don't

Can I make a request that the Stars menu have an option to input a SAO &/Or Bayer/Flamsteed name in the new Keypad release? John A. Sillasen

Ray, I have started to get THUM, Error Reading THUM = 2 messages in the Log at APCC start up. It used to give the temp readings. What do I need to fix? Larry

Had you set your time back to 2015 to compensate for the bug in the first place? If so, change it to the correct 2016 date. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics, Inc 11250 Forest Hills

No, not at this point. :^) Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics, Inc 11250 Forest Hills Rd Machesney Park, IL 61115 Phone: 815-282-1513 Fax: 815-282-9847 www.astro-physics.com

We do not have any plans at this time. It might be possible to use an inclinometer. An upcoming release of APCC will have software home and limits for all mounts using APCC. Clear Skies,

There will be a homing feature for all mounts based on the internal gear angle which is independent of all user inputs. The software is not quite finished yet, and will be available for all mounts

Marj, I too would love to see an external solution that allows the AP900GTO and AP1200GTO owners to benefit from the entirety of the CP4 and APCC. Stuart -- Stuart

Hi Marj Thank you for response. A bit pity,as this puts Mach-1 behind MyT in terms of suitability for fully roboticuse. I know most "mount lost" problems are due to human errors,but - that happens and

I understand your logic and reasoning but what is changed between the 1March and all other nights when i worked and i have a site from which i can work most nights. I never had this problem and i am

I have thought about putting limits on my AP1200. I found that I could sense the position of a strong magnet placed inside my AP1200 rotating base (right through the mount wall) with a hall effect

Hi, Are you running the latest ASCOM-V2 driver ver.5.07.02? Next, run the ASCOM V2 driver “SETUP TELESCOPE utility,and double check its “current site” Lat/Long. You may want to repeat

I have changed nothing in my setup ; when i connect maxim the ascom driver starts and i have the mount automatically unparked , all parameters well and also this time all seemed correct, but when i

Hmmm. So does TSX think your latitude is S or N? I had a number of parameters get toggled by who knows what. It happened when I reconnected my camera after sending it for service. All sorts of pop-ups

When i'm connected i was under the horizon line many degrees and i saw not the north pole but the south pole..., but i have not measured how many and where pointed the yellow dot, but i have pointed

Can you say more about that last point Carmine? Stuart -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/featured.html

Marj, Any hints on what will be in version 5.0? Harold
