There is no waiting for slew commands. You can send a slew command during a slew. The mount will go to where you sent the last slew. Rolando

Hi Bob, All of my comments were based on not using PEMPro. It doesn't matter if you turn PEC "on" in the driver or the hand controller. Both can tell the control box to enable PEC. The last command

Hi, I ma setting up the dome parameters, I am in the stage where I haven't yet polar aligned the mount (1100gto) thus difficult to measure the following: 1. Update Frequency - number of seconds to

Hi Ray, Just to be sure I understand. I do not use PemPro on this mount. I used the keypad to record a PEC but I control my AP1200 with AP V2 driver. So do I leave the PEC in the driver on or off? I

Adding a shim under either front or rear ring will not change your polar alignment. You say you have a good polar alignment. That's close enough for the following orthogonality check. Roland has

Thanks for writing that blog post Dale. My vote for INDI was less altruistic than yours and simply that I wanted a native INDI driver for my 1100 so I can safely and without crippled functionality

With my diving time cut short due to a grade 2 barotrauma in my left ear, I had some more time than expected on my hands this week. Of course this meant I had to write about something, as well as get

Roddy, For some reason I just assumed you used Ray’s “PemPro’s PA Wizard” option to at least do the PA - even if you skip thesomewhat more complicated, PEC Curve Creation wizard.

I checked--everything is tight. No rocking at all in Park 3. I really think its PA. If the mount has a defect, it would be pretty amazing if the only time it showed up was meridian flip accuracy.

Rodd, Have you checked the attachment of the dovetail to yourmount’s head? Maybe one of the screws isn’t tightened squarely, ortightly enough, so the entire scope, whichever one you have

That sounds like a Zebra. I use 4 scopes-each with there own rings and mount plates--and each has the same issue. I think its related to PA to tell the truth. I can routinely take 30 min subs and

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
