Hi Rolando, Thanks, that is perfectly clear...I figured there was a good reason the "error" was so reliably repeatable. best John Collins

Eclipse Chasers: I think it was here that I was first alerted to the fact that some Oregon hotels are stiffing their customers. I can specifically report that Super 8, Ontario stiffed me out of 11

Joe, I doubt that. That's a completely different scenario. Roland explained the situation accurately. The park position that TheSky uses definitely *is* different! Once the limit is triggered and

You'll just have to catch me the next time you are on the BigIsland! Two kayaks, four seats and no waiting! -Christopher Erickson Observatoryengineer Summit Kinetics Waikoloa, HI

Sorry – minor correction on the last part. APCC shows the “Limits Reached” and selected Actiontaken, if you hover the mouse over, for example, the warning yellowHorizon box in the

Hi Rolando, You seem to be answering an entirely different post – I did NOT mention the Hand Controller – in fact, it isn’t even pluggedin. All commands were done directly from the APCC

The present Hand controller software does not communicate with the mount or any other software to know what any of the settings are that you have sent from the other software. He Hand Controller ONLY

Hi, Just wondering why – with the fully updated current V2driver and APCC PRO on my AP-1200 & CP4, , its status bar still shows... UNPARKED (AP) and “TRACKING = SIDEREAL” even though the

George will be at a campsite in an undisclosed location :^). We are hoping to join him for the eclipse the night before, however we are not sure if that will actually work out. We anticipate that the

We will be in Casper also. Any particular place outside of the city? Fred

You do not need a keypad to use PEMPro. Rolando

The Park positions, especially Park1 and Park4, will never be exactly parallel to the earth. There are a number of reasons for that, including the time it takes for the Dec axis to stop moving after

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

Menan, Idaho, for me.

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
