Thanks Ray, Sounds like a good thing to play with on a full moon night before a little narrow band imaging. Right now it looks like it might be clear again. Two days in a row after getting a

Thanks Ray for your great support !!! Regards, Yves

Thanks Joe, I'll look at it. I guess I'm not clear on how long it takes to create a model. I thought this a long process. If it's just a few points, then that sounds just like I do already with

Terri, I set up each time I image with my Mach1 and recently started using APCC-Pro/APPM. I use Backyard Nikon, CdC and PHD2 to control the mount and camera and behind these APCC is completely

Hi Ray I’m in Illinois. FYI, I was able to see the update for the ASCOM driver. cytan Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

Cytan, I just checked and both Standard and Pro updates are visible. Are you located in the U.S.? There are a few countries blocked from getting to the website. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC

Hi Ray I've tested 1.8.0.4 this morning and it works. AE tab values all filled in correctly. FYI, when I clicked on the update button on 1.8.0.2, it said there were no updates. Instead, I just

You can always start APPM after twilight before it gets dark enough to image. Depending on your camera download time and plate solve time you should be able to get 2-3 points per minute. Thus, 50

Ok, thanks Ray. I understand the APPM benefit but didn't think it was for those of us using the mount in a portable fashion. So I have some questions into George on results. Terri

No, ASCOM clients always call the AP V2 driver, which can start APCC if it is not already started, then the driver connects to APCC. Just running APCC Pro initially won't make a difference in

Hi Ray, thank you for your very fast responses. So if I might ask another follow-on: If I install APCC, and call the telescope from either CDC or SGPro, does it call APCC then versus the V2

Reading the recent posts about new Mach2 owners and the APCC software has me wondering how things are going with the hand paddle software upgrade. My plan is to use the new Mach2 like I have been

You use the threaded adapter that is made for the AP900 mount. Terri

There is no need to uninstall first. You can install over the top either going to a newer or older version of the driver. The same is true for APCC. You don't need to uninstall first when installing

Terri, Yes, that is correct. APCC directly connects to the mount via serial port, USB, or a network. All "traffic" from the driver is routed back and forth through APCC's virtual ports. APCC by

Hi Wayne, thanks You will enjoy the polemaster. I used mine last night. You can use it as soon as the lowest gain settings allow you to see polaris and at least one of the surrounding stars that

Wayne, how are you attaching your pole master to the Mach2 TJF 📱

Ray, do you suggest I try re-installing the 5.30.8 driver and give it another try. Should I do an uninstall first, or just install over the top? best, Terri

Hi Ray, I did find this.. and have read some of the setup information. It wasn't a poke, it was just me articulating (maybe poorly) that I need to educate myself and figure out what I can make use of

Hi Terri, I'm absolutely sure whatever issue you saw with had nothing to do with the 5.30.08 driver. The only change was to add the missing custom slew rate option. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC
