Hi Eric, APCC will always slew the RA axis first, but the counterweight should be down before the declination slew. Are you saying that it is possible for your scope to hit the pier in some

I tried creating a new meridian limit twice and both times had problems with my Mach 1 mount trying to slew into the pier. I'm running the v11 CP4 firmware and APCC v1.6.0.3. Here are the steps I

Dan, A google check of the time now in Longmont, Co the time is 2:10 PM but GMT is 8:10 PM. That's -6 hours difference, right? I think -7 is correct for your location *without* Daylight Saving Time

Dan, I have to think you have DST turned on in one software and off in the other. Is that possible? Stuart -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/featured.html

Ray, also I am not running APCC. dan

Hello Ray and thanks for responding. I have a new mach1gto mount and I've recently (last two months) downloaded all the software I'm using including skyx pro and ascom v2 driver v 5.10.02 the 1st

Hi Dan, Yes, this is the place you can ask AP V2 ASCOM driver questions. The driver's time zone information is read from your computer if you have the option selected to match the time to the

And, right after I send my comment that this wasn't explained in my documentation I of course now find exactly where it's explained in my documentation. Page 6 under "focusing Procedure". Maybe I

Rolando, thank you. Ok, I understand now that the focus on the RAPAS is only for the reticle. Makes sense. Aha, ok so the RAPAS barrel is what moves for the focus! I just played with it following

With every RAPAS we send out detailed instruction sheet that shows how to set the infinity focus for your eyes. Please refer to the instruction sheet if my previous post is not clear. Rolando

Joe, I know you're trying to be helpful, but he is focusing the wrong thing. Rolando

Yes, you are focusing the wrong thing. See my previous post. Rolando

Since you have RAPAS problems with your MACH-1,depending on the serial number/year – If yours is older than 2014, do you have the “special” RAPASADAPTER PLATE attached for it? The only mount

It may seem that the eyepiece focus is used to bring the stars into focus, but that's really not correct. The eyepiece focus is strictly to bring the reticle into sharp focus. Step1: Focus the

If this isn't the place to ask a question about ascom, my apologies. Otherwise, here's my question. When I downloaded the ascom driver I had at one point needed to input my location info. In there

I had a clear line of sight to polaris, and no wiring in the mach1gto polar axis. Without the scope I was able to do a rough alignment. With the RAPAS, I could see polaris, but it was way big. I

You should be able to get pinpoint focus on Polaris with the RAPAS. Is something blocking the hole, or blocking polaris? joel

Had my first chance to use the RAPAS last night and found that I can't focus in on polaris. So, I turned the focus to the right but that was causing polaris to blurr. Ok, great. So I need to turn

Hi Dale, Wow, that was some really nice detective work. I am impressed! Best regards, -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):
