If you plate solved the coordinates that would result in an absolute RA/Dec sky position. If you were off by one hour then you could plate solve and sync (probably all-sky). Rememeber to temporarily

Using APCC Go To After plate solving I moved the mount via APCC back an hour and found the Crab and centered it by imaging, then incremental movements. All mount control is done via APCC pro. At this

Yes. Hint: There is very good information in the help file. Clicking the "?" button in many of the control group boxes in APCC will bring you to the relevant section of the help file. -Ray

I have my hand controller plugged in but it is ALWAYS initialize from APCC. No changes were made SITE information. I am using APCC pro 1.7.1.1 Right now I am imaging the Crab Nebula at RA

I keep getting an error when I try to connect to the scope in APPM. I can connect to my mount through MaximDL. I can connect to the camera fine. When I click on Driver to set it up I get this error:

You did not provide enough information to say what caused your issue. However, you should not need to do anything to APCC's time settings because APCC automatically changes the time and time zone to

This is driving me (more) crazy. My time setting are correct in site tab. -local time is correct Time offset is -5:00:00 please help me, this is so frustrating.

i was told that there is a video on encoder installation. I would like to see it before tackling the installation. I can’t find it on the Astro Physics site. Can anyone help me find it? I found a

I think subgroups are a great feature, as well. Ray and I discussed setting up an APCC subgroup, but have not made a decision. Sometimes there is overlap with other discussions. We’ll be giving

Great idea Robert! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/ -- Stuart http://www.astrofoto.ca/stuartheggie/

One of the new features of groups.io is that you can have sub groups within the main group. Currently there is one for hand controller BETA work. I always thought it would be great to have all the

For historical reasons, the keypad updates require the top RS232 port on the control box.

The updater is not working. I follow all the instructions and it gets to "AWAITING HOST" and it stalls there. The program says "Sending page" and nothing. Database loader tool is 4.12. Keypad is v

Very good work Geoff! Don Anderson

Well done, Geoff! I also wondered about the grouping of galaxies in the lower right. Thank you for the explanation. Stunning image. Karen, AP

Just wondering what the latest is on about when these mounts may start toship? Not pushing at all. Thanks Dean Virus-free. www.avast.com

Nice image and explanation Geoff! I agree that Burbidge's Chain really adds to the image. joel

Geoff, this is a beautiful image! I don't recall seeing it before and I agree, the explanation really helped us appreciate the result. Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/ --
