John: You might need an SBIG relay box. I needed one several years ago with an ST-7 I was using with a VE Digitrack drive corrector. Without it, it drove the mount continuously in right

Hi John, I use an ST-8E which is basically the same camera (but with a different CCD chip) with my 1200 GTO with no problems. The TIC cable by the way is a simple straight through 6-wire cable you

Has anyone ever experienced problems connecting the SBIG ST-7 to the AP 1200 GTO? When I connect the St-7 TIC-cable to the mount it starts to move westward. I checked cable connections/pinouts but I

Can't find any in Victoria either. Got my handles though and they work great. Wouldn't mind some washers though. Chris. Spratt Ron Wodaski wrote:

I may have just gotten lucky, then. <g> I bought them at a hardware store about a half-hour drive from my home, called McClendon's. They are a chain, but I don't know how far they range. I'm near

Hello Ron, Where did you find those Mylar washers? What company makes them? I've tried several hardware stores and home centers but have had no luck in finding Mylar washers. I get a funny look when

Anyone have the AP GOTO keypad command set (LX200 emulation) on disk? Don't want to have to type out the manual contents and I don't have a scanner. Need them to send to a programer I know who wants

Hi everybody I am a newbie on this list. I am retired and I live in Provence in the South of France. I built an observatory above my garage in the garden. I received my new telescope one month

Hi Marc, 1. Look up your latitude (you can find it at http://www.geocode.com/eagle.html-ssi ). Adjust the altitude of the mount. You can do this during the day, using a simple protractor. 2.

Hi, I was hoping someone can provide me with some information about the 400 gto. For simple visual use, with low powered eps., what is the simplest method of alignment, and how long does the

Skymap Pro 6 does not work with my AP GTO - no connection is recognized. The Sky and DSV work fine but DSV bridge with SMP6 doesn't work since SMP6 is not in its default directory on my laptop.

I've been trying two other programs without DigitalSky Voice to see if they would control the AP600E Goto I have. Both programs work with the lX200 series (so they claim). Been told they should work

I have a 400 gto mount on order but would like to educate myself on the mount before its arrival. Would someone explain the alignment process for visual use in lower powered fov, and how long the
