I have a Mach1 that I use the HC for initialization and other things. Lately, the only thing I've been using the HC for is inititialization, then I start SGP and connect the ASCOM driver and do my

Why not call the office and ask for tech help. They can run you thru some simple tests. Rolando

Hi Jinyoung, (I am sending a second time as the first has not come through yet) It's quite amazing that no one has run into this before. Thanks for reporting this! I will make sure that is fixed in

Hi Jinyoung, It's quite amazing that no one has run into this before. Thanks for reporting this! I will make sure that is fixed in the next APCC installer. If you install PEMPro V2 then that DLL

Thanks Rolando, You may be right – the CP4 problem is now permanent,with a solid AMBER LED. – Hope to hear from Howard soon, after a brief rest from his conferences. Sure seemed like a

Hi, When I click "Start Plate Solve" button on APPM's "Test Solve Images from directory" window, it ends with error message in subject. I set up SGPro as camera and plate solver. Is there any known

Hi, I was wondering if any user of a 1200 mount with the CP3 control box has used a skyfi unit and sky safari to control the mount. My particular question is can this system be used to start the mount
