George, Two questions concerning the new v5.xx firmware update: 1. Anticipated release timeline 2. What specific features will it incorporate? I’ve read some discussions that it will correct for

The models that we are working on (not the APCC APPM model) will be stored in the CP4/5. The keypad is simply a way to do the modeling routine. It stores nothing but gives you the GUI or instruction

Be careful how far you rotate the mount in azimuth! The “north” leg should always be under the counterweight shaft or your mount/scope setup will become very unstable. Regards,

Thanks Karen! I will now go find a pry-bar to open up the frozen clamshell and check. LOL! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/ -- Stuart http://www.astrofoto.ca/stuartheggie/

Hi Stuart, Not yet. Keypads have their own, unique serial number. It’s not related to the mount. (Not everyone orders a keypad.) Look on the back of the keypad for the serial number. Karen

George, sorry to drag this out but is that 1565GTO the same as my mount's serial number? My AP900GTO is 501. Am I scuppered? Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/ --

Are the models stored in the keypad or the GTOCPx?

Seems you could just drill extra holes in the pier tube to allow more position options. You could also machine slots in place of the holes on the tube and use washers and bolts to clamp once rotated.

Robert, You are correct. If the keypad is updated to v5.xx, it will no longer work with the CP3 control box. It may be a better decision to update the CP3 to a CP4. You would then have all

I should add that the earliest keypads…approximately 1565GTO and earlier…will not accept the v5.xx firmware, as they do not have the available memory. Regards, George George

Peter, All Keypads can accept firmware version up to v4.19.3. Version v5.xx will require a CP4 or CP5. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone:

Best way to always have the scope point correctly when you first get a mount is to send the mount to Park3. Then place the telescope into the rings, loosen the clutches, manually move the axes until

Yes, you can create a tracking model with counterweight up. Rolando

As mentioned in above post....I have both a CP 3 with a 900 mount and a CP4 with new 1100 mount. It sounds like once the hand controller is updated it will no longer work with old CP3 box....or will

Beautiful images. Great job processing. Robert

Hi friends , I own a Mach 1 and on my good day buy a AP 1100 . I have a gtocp3 controller that works super fine , pls tell me if I should buy a new controller and why ? Thanks for your

Simply stunning, Jose. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image of NGC 1398 before. Thanks to your work, it’s now one of my favorites. Karen

I may have a pier adapter for an AP 900GTO that rotates 360. Finding it is the problem… It is machined for an ATS pier. Mark

I am a new owner of a 1100AE. Off course, my first RCal/sync put the counter weight up rather than down. Otherwise, the scope was pointing correcting. Eventually, I was able to fix this but it
