Hi Alex, By "Mini PC", do you mean an Intel NUC? While they often use 19V input, they will work with 12V provided the power source can provide enough current. -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author

Hi Peter, Thanks for the pictures and information. Your setup definitely adds another potential option to the mix and it does eliminate any issues with adding weight to the scope. Also, I noticed you

Hi Terri, Thanks for the pic! How long have you had your Mach2? Do you like it? I'm also an EE and I like to tinker too. The Pegasus is very interesting but not within my budget this month as I need

Eric, BTW, you could instead use APPM's NASA Sky View camera, which allows you to test your plate-solving software. And, only one window is opened at a time using this camera type. -Ray

ok, the battery is big enough for everything and has a self built protection. the only "issue" is the notebook , that need an inverter.

I’ve been running AP mounts off 12v batteries directly since 2004. I used optima yellow tops for quite a while - one for the mount, another for the camera , another with inverter for the computer,

Batteries are ALWAYS safer and cleaner than mixing in inverters and converters and power bricks along with batts. One 12 or 24v batt setup for the mount and a separate 12 batt setup for everything

Hello, I'd be grateful if someone can show me the best way to power my nomad set up (Mach 2, Pc, CCD, FLI atlas, HUB Usb, fa, kendrick, etc) Basically I am thinking to use the brick power unit that

Eric, It has always worked this way for a *long* time. I believe someone asked if each image could be in a separate window. I will put it on my todo list to make a change for the next version. -Ray

Personally, I am not fond of putting anything on the OTA. I think it's messier this way especially with a through-the-mount cabling mount. See pictures of my setup with TEC 160FL and A-P1100GTOAE

Just downloaded APPC 1.8.8.1 and am running APPM using a camera simulator and not plate solving. Each image returned by the simulator (of M42) is in a separate "APPM -- Camera View" window. Shouldn't

Hi Marcelo, I understand completely. You can find the list of the changes in each public build of APCC at this link (you can also find them in APCC's help

Dale, thank you again, I think I’ll give it a try. terri

Hi Ray, yep new version fixed the comm error. Thank you, I like having things neat and with the errors. the 1200x / 600x problem I was having has been fixed too. I was doing as you suggested before

Hi, Any other reason for the upgrade? I am using the version 1.8.4.1 (APCC Pro) which has worked perfectly well and I am a bit reluctant to upgrade critical components just for fun.

Hello all, I am announcing the availability of a new release build of APCCPro and APCC Standard. These builds fix the timeout error caused by sending the ":m#" command. APCC Standard

Hi Matt, The logs you attached only contain ASCOM logs, not any APCC logs. However, I can tell from your screenshot what is happening. APCC 1.8.7.x is mistakenly sending a ":m#" command that is meant

Hi everyone, All of a sudden I am getting COMM ERRORS when I start up APCC Pro. The mount won’t move. I can park and I park however. I was running ASCOM 6.4 and then updated to 6.5 SP1. Getting

Hello Richar I use the 50mm Borg and an SX LodestarX2. I image and guide with MaximDL 6.11 and use the default settings (Min .0 /Max 2.0 on X & Y, Aggressiveness 8 both axis). Works flawlessly. I

The auto-dew feature on the UPBv2 is a bit ham-fisted at the moment, but it will get some improvements according to Evan of Pegasus. I was also contemplating a Dew Buster as well before getting this,
