Hi, I was wondering what software AP users are using to control their mount through Windows. I'm using point to point wifi on a Mach1 with CP4 through my laptop. Suggestions and experiences

That makes sense. Thanks, Peter ---In ap-gto@..., <chris1011@...> wrote : As long as location is always the same, it's irrelevant for unparking. Only the local time comes into play

As long as location is always the same, it's irrelevant for unparking. Only the local time comes into play because that is the only way for the mount to know what the hour angle is. Rolando

Hi Rolando, I thought location (as well as clock) was used for the first slew to a known object or star after unparking from one of four park positions. So, I normally set the mount to Park 4, power

Thanks Rolando, Perfect, I'll just carry on observing and imaging 😊. I really appreciate you clarifying for me. Regards, Geof ________________________________ Sent: 16 April 2018 20:21 To:

It has absolutely no significance. GoTos are not regulated by observer location. Never has been. You can tell it that you're in Bangalore and as long as you tell it that it's 8pm daylight savings (if

Hi Rolando, That is one of the first things I checked, but only locations 1 and 2 are set and both have the identical correct settings. Locations 3-9 are all 0000's. So far I have not found anywhere

You may have set the bogus setting in another location (Location2 perhaps?) When you set your keypad to YES, it used the last location that you had set, the bogus one. You might want to check your

If you plan to use either computer or HC or both, then I suggest to set the Keypad to EXT. If you don't use the computer and HC is set to EXT, simply press HC's MENU button to use HC to initialize the

There are three startup modes in the keypad: Autoconnect NO, Autoconnect YES and EXT. When you are in EXT mode, it is assumed that you want to control the mount via your computer. So the mount will

Thanks Rolando, OK so I'll change it to EXT. Will I still be able to use the HC for visual without connecting the laptop? BTW I wish all AP team and users a great time atNEAIC and NEAF - it's a bit

Thanks Rolando, As per the images that I uploaded to my Dropbox folder the site settings in the V2 driver and the HC are the same, but when I have the HC connected as well as the V2 driver the V2

If you want to control the mount with just the keypad, set it to YES. If you want the mount to start up with your computer driver, set the keypad to EXT. Rolando

Thanks Peter, As I just replied to Rolando, I've just been checking the Keypad settings - mine was set to "YES", so I'm wondering if I should change that to "EXT". Regards, Geof

Thanks Rolando, As suggested by Peter (pnagy), I just checked the Keypad start up setting which is set to "YES", so should I change that to "EXT"? I use the mount both via the Keypad for visual

We are leaving tomorrow, so today we are still here. Will work on this issue. Rolando

I will ask our software engineer about the reason the keypad sets the longitude differently. It may have something to do with your setting of local time. Rolando
