Todd and Charles, I've posted about this same problem before too. One thing I've done which certainly has made a difference and it really makes no sense unless I've got some faulty connections in my

Contact A/P on this one Todd, hmm seems wierd it should reset so often. Please call Marj. I am sure something can be looked into. - charles sinsofsky

Okay, I switched cables, but did not do any of that fancy hard-wiring some were suggesting. My A/P 600 GTO RESET three times in one hour this morning. The battery was at 13volts when I measured it.

Are you a stand-up or sit-down astronomer? I'm 6 ft 2 in and have a 155 EDF on a 900 GTO with a 54" pier. It's a little too tall for viewing near the horizon, but is OK when viewing near the zenith.

Hello All, I was fortunate to be able to order an AP 1200 mount this year. It should arrive in the Fall sometime. The folks at Astro-Physics indicated I should order the appropriate accessories

Chris, The RA and Dec backlash settings are retained in the memory and are the same for each session. The amount of backlash can vary depending on load and orientation of the telescope. RA backlash

Anyone used TPoint from Software Bisque to improve their AP Goto accuracy? If so what were your results? Worth the money? Effort?

I've been using the Anderson Single Powerpole Series PP15 ever since I received my mount (Nov. 98). The only problem is that the Silver in the Anderson connectors will tarnish and will have to be

At that focal length I get 2 min. unguided about 50% of the time with the AP600, so your performance sounds consistent with my experience. However, if I use the autoguider to train the PEC, I can get

Just out of curiousity I'm wondering how long others have managed a typical unguided CCD exposure. I've managed 4 minutes once at F/5.0 but most of the time despite good "drift aligning" I can only

See: http://www.andersonpower.com/products/multipoles/sbmain.html It has pictures, heat rise curves, specs, etc. A high-tech little connector. Gus

I would check the cigarette "plugin" end as the AP power cord is a bit weak in this point. The spring-loaded "button" on this end on two of my Ap400 cords went in and wouldn't come back out. I lost

These folks are at www.andersonpower.com - searching for "6319" will lead you to the right catalog page. 6319G1s come in gray or red. The gray ones are for 10/12 AWG wire, and the red ones are for

Hi Paul, Nice pix. Do the connectors have a tradename? Best, John
