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

Re: Mach2 Shipping?
First batch is in testing, we will update as soon as they are packed and ready for shipping. We see the light at the end of the rainbow.

Re: Mach2 Shipping?
The web site was changed several weeks ago to say that shipments will begin this month. However, I haven't seen any of the necessary software updates [keypad, APCC-Pro, ASCOM driver] publicly

Re: Plate solving with SGP, AP900 Mount and APCC
Well as an update to this - seems that with SGP it's best to assign the plate solved image to the Sequence.
Then ask it to center that way by right clicking on the Sequence target or ask SGP to

Hi Brian,
I tend to take a series of images slowly shifting the scope and rotating the camera. When I am happy with this, I take a short exposure, plate solve this, and ask SGP to centre there.

John - How are you creating your target? If you are using SGP’s framing and mosaic wizard, I’ve noticed problems like this in the past few releases. I’ve seen when the image is brought up in

Re: Plate solving with SGP, AP900 Mount and APCC
Thanks Ray,
I have posted in SGP forumns but have not had a response.
I should better explain the issue - I normally take a reference image once I have framed the object correctly, plate solve (this
