Jerome It would be unusual for an automated focuser to move the primary mirror; hence the primary is typically locked down without issue. What scope and focuser do you have? Bryan Bill, your comments

I have not had good luck with SCTs because of mirror shift. The 10" SCT that I've used, I cannot even focus it without the image going clear off the chip. It also has some latency when focusing

Hi Jerome, It's not just potential mirror flop during tracking, but also during the APPM mapping run. If the collected data has random errors during collection then the accuracy of the resulting

Looking forward to your images. Rolando

I just have not used them is all. I am sure Ray or Roland could offer some perspective though.

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification on the new feature. Sounds like some great stuff continues to get developed by A-P. The latest builds of APCC have been excellent. I have been doing some testing

Hi Bill, APPM is just a data point mapper, collecting where the telescope thinks it is pointed and where it actually pointed, as well as time, temp, pressure, and humidity. The data is all stored in

Bill, your comments are very encouraging, but the caveat about SCTs has me wondering! (Well, I was wondering before. ;-) I have a C-8 and a C-11, neither of which I've used for imaging yet, so I

I was going to ask the same thing were is the DEC arc modeling in APCC pro ? Max

Hello Dominoque, here is the answer from our software engineer: I cannot say what is happening. There is no logical interaction between the USB and the WiFi. It makes no sense, not something we’ve

That makes perfect sense. I was asking about this comment Ray made: I'm interested because APCC has a built-in declination-arc modeling feature. That is, it plate solves along the same declination at

All objects will move across the sky in an arc from east to west along a constant Declination value. It's not a feature of a mount, rather it's a feature of the way objects move across the sky. The

Does this DEC Arc feature just happen naturally in the process of generating a model?

I will find out for you. Rolando

Yes, it is possible to have both active at the same time. Rolando

At this time, no. Rolando

20 seconds isn't really long enough to capture drift unless the seeing is perfect. It takes at least 3 minutes to get a good handle of the drift at any one spot in the sky. Rolando
