The AP folks – Roland, Marj, George, Christine, and Karen – will be in Casper, WY for ASTROCON, and then outside the city for the eclipse. Sorry we’ll miss you, Chris! Karen

You don't need a keypad to operate PEMPro and analyze your PEMcurve and optionally create and save a new one. -Christopher Erickson Observatoryengineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa, HI

Hi all, I'm waiting for my new mount to arrive, so I decided to look through the APCC manual while I wait. I read through a brief discussion of PEMPro, and if I'm reading it correctly, the preferred

Hi, John Collins from Oregon here. Wondering if anyone has seen/fixed this: Historically, my CP3-controlled setup (AP 1600GTO, CDK17, STX camera) would maneuver all night and return to park with

Hi John, I'm glad that you were able to fix the problem! -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Hi To everyone that responded, thank you. The virtual ports issue was pretty persistent...uninstalling, scrubbing the registry, and reinstalling the FTDI drivers fixed things perfectly. Comms are

Hello Stephane, You can easily determine if the encoders are causing this by simply disconnecting the encoder box from the CP4. One question I have: Did this occur when you had the CP3 attached to

Hello, I will try to explain my observation in english. I use GTO CP4 on 3600GTO mount with RA / DEC Encoders turned at ON with APAE v2.0. This observation can be seen with or without APCC. So it is

Where is the AP gang going to be for the eclipse? Fred

Geof No worries! If I had a dollar for every time someone spelled Bryan the other way, I could buy a really big telescope. 8-) Bryan ---In ap-gto@..., <geoflewis@...> wrote : Sorry Bryan, I keep

Sorry Bryan, I keep spelling your name wrong... 😞 Regards, Geof

Thanks Brian, Of course my C14 is pre-owned with me being several generations along from it being new. I will be booking it in with a local optics specialist here in the UK whilst I'm over in the USA

Geof "frequent loss of collimation on a meridian flip" is unusual and should not occur for reasonably high quality OTAs. I'd suggest looking into why that is happening. Possibilities Collimation

Hi Ray, Good idea thanks, I'll do that. I really appreciate your help. Regards, Geof Get Outlook for iOS

Hi Geof, I think that you'll find SGPro very capable for a product at its price point. You might find it useful to join the Main Sequence forums in case you run into problems. A quick search of the

Thanks Charlie and everyone else that contributed to this thread, all of which has been helpful to me. I have decided to download SGP (already done earlier today), so I'm now on the 45 day trail count

A lot of postings concerning SGP and meridian flips and some have provided incorrect or only partial information. I have been using SGP with my AP1100GTO mount for more than two years. SGP is a
