A good way forward would to be to develop a fully functional INDI driver, and provide those binaries (and no source code) to the INDI project for use with AP mounts. AP would not be the only company

Hi Bob, By default after power on the mount will have PEC disabled. If you initialize the mount with the AP V2 driver you have the option of automatically turning it on when you connect to the

You can turn PE correction on with keypad or the driver. Whatever the last one sent the command, that's the one that will function for the imaging session. If you are always starting with the AP

Hi Rodd, I’m surprised no one has yet mentioned this potentialcause, but I had the same problem as you have, a couple of years ago. Keptlosing a centered target from my STL-11000 FOV ... after

Thank you Roland, Last 2 questions: What PEC setting would I use in the AP V2 driver (on or off) since I'm using my keypad (set for external control) to record the PEC? I guess I need to know what

Best guide rate is always 1x sidereal. Roland

And how about suggestions pertaining to the following: I have a 2010 AP1200+GTO-CP3+Key Pad (Set for external control)+AP V2 driver. I used the keypad to do a PEC run but in the AP V2 setup you get a

I have been in this hobby for less than a year and agree with David. I tried Astro Photography Tool (APT) first but quickly switched to SGP because it was easier to get support for. It did take me a

To change to SGP and auto focus would require at least a night for me to learn--and probably more. I do not have internet at the scope (except on my cell phone) and getting advise at 2:00 am is not

It is client / server whether or not they run on the same machine. I believe the Client GUI/ KStars/Ekos can run on Windows/Macintosh/Linux. The server INDI drivers themselves run on Linux and

Rodd, If you use a computer, it should never take more than a couple minutes. You need to check out some program like Sequence Generator Pro. Its what I use when mobile imaging, and its so simple.

Sorry, it took a while for me to get back to this. The remote telescope network that my university has joined has chosen the INDI platform for their remote telescope operation. For a number of

Thanks Rolando. No--I use a computer. Right now I use CdC as a planetarium platform--seems to work ok. I haven't learned how to plate solve. I frame manually--kind of a pain but it works. I don't

Actually, I'm going to say the Windows INDI branch is "under development". The INDI website says it's in progress, but the windows branch on github hasn't been updated in ages.

A lot of people use a plate solve which gets you to the exact spot you want very quickly. One other way is to do a quick model with APCC Pro and that will allow you to find and center objects very

Ekos is available for Windows. INDI Windows support is under development.

Thanks for your input. It appears that Kstars is also available for Windows. Is the rest of the suite also Windows compatible? Roland

Marj, Thank you for your words of reassurance and offer of future cooperation. Although my last post was long winded, and spirited, I honestly tried to keep it civil. I absolutely love my mount and

EZ and others, This is a passionate topic for sure, almost as much as politics or religion. As I mentioned previously, we will review the command list to see what more recent commands would be
