I have both the original SkyFi and also the latest version 3. The difference is the original used AdHoc wireless which wasn't supported with most Android devices but Iphone/Ipad worked. The latest

Hi Peter, have you tried take an image with your setup and then to solve it in the Pinpoint setup in APPM? Konstantin Konstantin v. Poschinger Hammerichstr. 5 22605 Hamburg 040/8805747 0171 1983476

The dark frame issue is a possibility...I will try unchecking.

It's not recommended because it's a safety feature, but you can do that by disabling Safety Park. BTW, the mount does not stop tracking immediately, but will stop within the Safety Park time

Hi All, When I exit APCC the mount tracking stops. How can that be prevented? Thanks, Gert

Here is a link with the theory behind directional drift due polar misalignment. May help. https://astrocamera.net/equipmnt/p-align/drift.htm Steve

Not to beat this horse but you have been told several times that it needs to be FIT so why do you continue to try RAW as well? It also sounds like the image path is either incorrect or not set. Have

Hi, I know nothing of APPM/APPC, but I notice that you have the dark subtract checkbox checked, so do you have a dark frame to be applied to your light frame when performing plate solves. I may be way

Peter, this might have been addressed in the barrage of posts on this but I had a problem for a while that is similar to this and it turned out that the target folder had its privileges changed in a

Thanks very much, Robin. This helps a lot. I will give all your settings a try sometime. Thanks again!

I'm using an older SkyFi unit (the one without the rechargeable battery built-in). I've not had any problems getting it to work with my 1600 CP4 and my iPad Pro. My configuration settings in SkySafari

Conditions were excellent last night and I was still getting "failed" and the "image path not found" error message. I tried both FIT (which was the default) and RAW outputs. Here are screenshots.

As I said before there is a problem here. When the mount flips and Dec moves are reversed because the guiding software won't know about the mount flip. Not to mention during the slew the guiding

1. The slew is started asynchronously so it was successful. 2. The pulseguide during a slew was also successful even if it stopped the slew. Seems like the mount software could delay guide-pulses

For those using the SkyFi, is it the old one or the new SkyFi 3? I have the old one. I briefly and unsuccessfully tried to get it to work but will have to try harder if I know others are successful

Hi Horia, Neither, it is in the mount's firmware. I don't think it is defined. Besides no exception needs to be thrown because: 1. The slew is started asynchronously so it was successful. 2. The

Hi Cytan, No, it is not expected behavior. I'll take a look. That said, the automatic pier flip option should be used with caution. You probably do not want to be autoguiding when APCC forces a pier
