only 2 points failing is quite good
FYI i was redoing a 100+ point model and took the time to watch some of the solver images being captured

Hi Tony,
Maybe in a future version, but it really isn't needed in your case. Just correctly configuring APPM should do the trick.
As mentioned in the link I provided, you should configure APPM to

Re: APPM Questions
Is it possible that a feature such as redoing a failed point in a new model - on the same night - can be put into APPM? Usually a failed point for me is that APPM decides to start taking an image even

Re: APPM Questions
You missed the point I made about searching first. :-)
No you cannot redo a point.
And nor do you need to redo the point provided there are lots of other successful points (say 80% or more

Re: APPM Questions
No, haven't asked the question about redoing a point that has failed - can it be redone for that model or not?
I'm trying to use SGP (forgot about POTH) :). SGP does not seem to be the best wrt moving

Re: APPM Questions
If a point fails during the mapping run - is there a way to redo it at that time or do you need to redo a complete new run?
Also, sometimes it seems that the dome is still slewing when the camera

Re: AAPC and SkyX Not Fully Communicating with Each Other

Hi Robert,
I use SkyX with APCC Pro on my 1200 and 1100AE mounts. SkyX does not have any problems slewing to targets, so it's something in your setup that is misconfigured.
1. Are you connecting

Re: Weather station to complement APPC Pro/APPM modeling?

For those that use a FocusLynx focuser, Jeff informed me the temperature gathered by the hub for focus compensation is available through ASCOM and can be used by APCC-APPM.

Great, glad it works for you. If you didn't have an internet connection, I have a small and easy Arduino-based electronics project and ASCOM driver that can add an air pressure sensor to any

Re: APPM Questions
In my opinion you should model as low as you can. It will improve the higher points, especially if you are going to do unguided imaging.

APPM Questions
I find that its a waste of time in my area to image anything below 45 degrees due to pollution/refraction. Is it okay to limit APPM to above 45 degrees or will the model be improved by modelling below

Re: Mach2 Worm Period
That is correct! It does not need to know the worm period.
Just use PEMPro's Mount Wizard to create an instance of an Astro-Physics mount.
There is a mount type for the "AP GTOCP5 Controller". That

I just got a Planewave 12.5 (to eliminate the possible mirror shift with the C11 Edge I had :)). Haven't had a chance to do a pointing model yet as I am still trying to get the collimation

That is correct.
The worm gears are the same as the Mach1 by the way. Same time for 1 revolution.

Re: Mach2 Worm Period
It has been a while since I used PemPro and I only intended to use it right now for polar alignment. The polar alignment wizard does not need to know the worm cycle, correct?
