Re: Doubt about upgrading from APCC Standard to Pro

Same path for me too. Mach1 + APCC-Srd to Mach2 + Std. I had the APCC-Pro key just before the delivery of the mach2, I installed APCC-Pro with APCC-Std still installed. So I have the 2 installed ...

Re: Mach1 and GTOCP4 Yellow Light
Just to be clear: are you saying that plugging the RA cable into the RA motor produced quick rotation and stall with yellow light? Then plugging this same RA cable into the Dec gearbox produced quick

Re: Mach1 and GTOCP4 Yellow Light
If both RA and Dec motors produce a yellow light then the mount is probably ok. It indicates that there's a loose connection between the controller and the mount gearboxes, most likely in the RA

Re: Suddenly stars are dashes with good guiding
Hi Mike,
That's a great idea, but doesn't work for me. I image on the concrete sidewalk outside my house. I think as the temperature falls, the sidewalk unbuckles. That's my theory anyway.

Re: Strange behaviour when parking
Are you using the keypad as well as the PC to control the mount? If so, please make sure the keypad is set to Auto-connect=EXT. For truly remote imaging, the keypad shouldn’t even be connected.

Re: how to clear APCC/APPM model
Moving the PNT file or renaming it is fine. It’s up to how you like things organized. However, do NOT move or rename the Settings.apcc file or you will lose all of your other settings as well.

Dear AP, your help needed, please.

Re: Suddenly stars are dashes with good guiding
I actually put it off waiting for the new keypad release. Planned to do both and compare the relative efforts and results. Problem is that no matter how I plan it, I seem to barely get everything set

Re: Suddenly stars are dashes with good guiding
It can be very practical if you do a reasonable polar alignment. Then use APPM to develop a quick model along the path that the object takes. Would not take long, and can be done during twilight.

It would not take anything. You could do it right now if you wished. APCC Pro has everything you need.
