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

Todd, My description isn't very clear. I don't have a web page (yet) so I loaded a few pictures of it into Photopoint. Go to http://www.photopoint.com/ Visit albums, use my e-mail address (

connection. Every made and to a price, they snap-lock power way to audible "snap." prompted my Paul.. this may be my problem, I'm not sure, but I have now had too many glitches using this stupid

Another possible problem is the cigarette lighter adapter connection. Every alligator clip-to-female-cig-adapter I have seen was very cheaply made and doesn't give a positive connection. I took my 32

My mount is still resetting (A/P 600 GTO) Out of nowhere it just resets and keeps running, but loses it's whereabouts. I am now using a different battery (suspecting fluctuating voltage in the old)

The only consumer software product that does what Chris is talking about is The Sky, as far as I know. The software models the mount/scope combination, in a way, and compensates for the differences

On AP GTO, does the declination axis position on powerup matter? I know the RA axis should be visually aligned to Polaris and the mount should be fairly horizontal. Is there an optimal position for

no, it remembers only the last..

Suppose I set the scope on M3 and hit the "Recal" button and then move on to the next object and "tweak" that position with another "Recal". Does the keypad "remember" each correction and thus

If you "train" the PEM at 1x or .5x what speed should you set the keypad at when playing back the PEM? I usually have my speed set at 12x and leave it there for the observing once set. Does this

I've had the same thing happen. On some nights, it seems that backlash compensation needs to be adjusted depending on what side of the meridian I'm on. Ron W

I've noticed that when I "train" my RA backlash that the number I chose one night isn't good the next. I thought that once calibrated the RA backlash number would be retained for each session. Now I
