Re: USB (or Serial) vs Ethernet: Which is better or more reliable?
If one is using a laptop can the mount connect to the laptop's ethernet port and a 2nd network for internet access be used with a USB-ethernet adapter?
Of course the mount ethernet would have no

Re: 1) Starting with CW up; 2) Slewing to a target, landing CW up
If you do a meridian delay the mount will go to the object with counterweight up and any other object nearby.

Rotating pier adapter
#Polar_Alignment
I'm thinking of placing an AP1600/1100 in my portable observatory trailer. Since it moves around field to field; it can't be parked precisely so that the pier is facing North for Polar Alignment.

Re: Mach2 Shipping?
Bob,
Yes, it will be able to be run by using just the V2 driver and third party software. We will release the required V2 update at that time.

GTOCP4
Hi,
I am looking to purchase the GTOCP4 but before buying it I wanted to check if that would improve the auto guiding for imaging. My AP1100Gto is performing superbly so I am in 2 mind bout

Re: 1) Starting with CW up; 2) Slewing to a target, landing CW up
Hi Richard,
I do this all the time with my 12 year old AP1200GTO CP3, by setting the meridian delay in the V2 driver - note I do not have APCC. A positive number moves the 'meridian' east (earlier)

Re: 1) Starting with CW up; 2) Slewing to a target, landing CW up
Sure, you can set a meridian delay value in the driver. APCC allows you to configure a dynamic meridian delay value that changes with declination and pier side.

Re: 1) Starting with CW up; 2) Slewing to a target, landing CW up
Rick:
Do you have APCC...either Standard or Pro? You can change the meridian limits in either to move the point of flip east or west as needed. Typically, we want to start CW up with the scope

Backlash correction during calibration
Backlash correction seems to take a long time on my Mach 1 of late and for several steps ( star remains still ) , I don’t find any sloppiness in my mount when I physically try to wiggle it . Would

1) Starting with CW up; 2) Slewing to a target, landing CW up
All,
AP 1100 mount:
It's often useful to start an imaging run with CW up to avoid an eventual meridian flip. Currently, to do that, I slew to the target with the usual default of landing there with
