Anthony, I too am watching this thread with great interest. It seems to me that an early version of TV blocked file-transfer for the free version but this is no longer the case. I routinely use TV to

Gents, I have been following this thread with great interest. Speaking of TeamViewer, it is something I tried a few years ago when I wanted to transfer a few gig of data from one

Hi (dvj), That’s interesting – I wonder why TeamViewer sometimes“forgets” that it is running the FREE version - limited to 3 hour connectionbefore forcing a disconnect. I think that has

Joe The remote computer will be unchanged (although a little message bubble comes up saying that it's now being controlled by another window). There is a setting in Splashtop where you can choose to

Hi John, That message is telling you the exact problem: there is more than one connection to the ASCOM driver. This shouldn't happen if you start APCC first by itself and letting APCC start the

Ray..... I am receiving a message in APPC. Error, SetDriverIniKey, Cannot reconfigure ASCOM driver. Please disconnect all other ASCOM client applications first! I am an original Beta tester of APPC.

I would put US made Vernonscope oculars in that category. 3 elements with single layer low-scatter coatings and very transparent glass. Relatively expensive. Rolando

I'll need to "see it to believe it" if there are any eyepieces with lower scatter and better planetary performance than the TMB supermonocentrics. I think they are 3 glass elements in 1 single group.

Video makes a good eyepiece for planetary. :) I’m a bit behind the times on this myself. I had superb results with both Takahashi and Nagler eye plies for planetary. The Taks were my favorite; the

Curious as to what folks have found to be good choices forplanetary eyepieces (for use with AP scopes, of course). Being primarilyan imager, in general my visual through a telescope has been to

I will offer a different suggestion to try - I use Splashtop Personal. It's free and has worked well for me for years. I can control my observatory computer from the house with my office PC, iPad, or

Thanks Mike, I may have to eventually go with VNC, if thisTeamViewer connection “randomness” doesn’t get resolved. VNC is probably the second most common remote support package out

I use TightVNC and it is free. TV is my backup. It is a good alternative and it does not timeout. It requires some knowledge with port forwarding if you have a firewall though. Mike Sent from my

Hi Joe, Ok, I believe you! :-) I think they might have added that capability in one of the versions since V8, for which I had purchased a Business license. Can TeamViewer also take advantage of

Hi Joel, OK, that's good to know. Thanks for confirming no internet is required! -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Ha! If course, sorry Joe!!!

I'm glad to help Mark, but "Joe" is the one who provided most of the good info in this thread. joel
