Hi Wayne I think you may be better off posting this to the PHD group. https://openphdguiding.org/getting-help/ -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Had a really good night with the Mach2 under clear but moonlit skies. PHD2 ran reasonable well with default settings, but ran into a couple issues. First, it warned me I should disable Synchronous

I was trying to do some EAA on the moon over the weekend with my Mach1, and I found that anytime I clicked the Lunar Tracking button in the ASCOM driver, it would reset back to Sidereal after a few

No more problems last night, but I’m wondering how to correct an erroneous actual mount location like this? I thought by choosing a site that would fix it. Another data point / this is not new

Ray, The clutches are tight as I have manually rotated the axes to re-park it correctly. No changes there from the day 1 when I received the mount. I have never calibrated the mount to any start or

Okay, a couple other possibilities are: 1) The clutches slipped. Check the clutches to be sure they are tight. 2) The mount was recalibrated on a wrong star/object. One way to recover is to park to

Thanks Ray, this started before Saturday and I don't have a keypad. Just to confirm; what's the correct process to manually move the axes to correct park positions? - Mikko

Hi Mikko, The time changed this weekend in some areas. If you are mixing keypad and computer use, make sure both match time and time zone offset. If the time zone is different it will cause the mount

Top of the Morning to all, I have recently started to have an issue where the mount misses it's normal park-3 position and "over slews" it in both directions. Sometimes as much as an inch (mostly Ra)

Hi, Majr, Rolando, Thank you for this information. So I'm not going to hope for the long-awaited package this week. Far from my observatory with my 1st Mach1 (2011) I work with the Keypad and

Update - I rebooted both computer and CP5 my mount is back in Seattle. Terri, wonder if this was related to your mispointing? Do you remember if your site was correct?

My mount Actual Location is showing Latitude 0 and longitude 0 even when my site selected is Seattle? Refreshing doesn’t change it

Thanks, I have a keypad that I hope to be able to upgrade to the new version when the mount arrives.

Wayne, Thanks for the report. That’s way too funny! Woody

This has happened to me years ago on a different an AP1200. One other suggestion as I think about it, if the mount looks like it’s getting no power at all, check out the center pin on the power

I’m hoping to get some actual time under clear skies, but ‘I’ll say so far in the exploratory period it’s exceeded expectations. I really appreciate the ability to not get lost. Clutches are a

Wayne you really need to get onto that Mach 2 report sir. 🤣
