Re: APPM Models
PS. I am using a Pegasus Astro Powerbox which has real-time temp and humidity monitoring. I enter the atmospheric pressure manually.

Re: Do NOT use ASCOM Platform v. 6.5 with APCC Pro
#APCC
#ASCOM_V2_Driver
Some clarification:
1) ASCOM Platform v6.4SP1 is okay to still use.
2) ASCOM Platform v6.5 had a serious bug in the Transform class that would cause APPM to produce bad models.
3) You can now

Ray had noted that we should use v6.5SP1 but Karen’s email references v6.4SP1.
Should we not use any version of 6.5 at this time?

Re: APPM Models
Thanks for the response Ray!
I am using a fairly well sorted and tied down set-up. I have a 120 mm refractor, so no mirror issues as of now. As for the rest of the randomness, who knows. I am not

Fix the personality, did you contact AP to do that or did they reach out to you? They did that for me without even having to ask, so I assume they did the same?

Re: APPM Models
Hi Kevin,
If you don't change anything, the model will likely work pretty well indefinitely, but some things will hinder the model's accuracy.
First, to properly account for refraction, you should

Today I installed the Renishaw AEs on my AP1100GTO.
I am a newbie, what do I need to do to initialize them and turn them on?

Re: APPM Models
Good tip Brian. I will do a 100 or so point model in the mean-time, before I can do the 'whole hog'

Re: APPM Models
It sounds like a good idea... but you will get a handful of fails
around the bright moon
if you are going to go through the effort of building a large model to
keep for a while, my experience

I ran my first successful model tonight of 30 points. Obviously I am going to want to try a much larger model, but I am wondering how long can I use it. I was thinking about a hundred or so. If I go

Re: 140/155 4” Field Flatteners
Hi Rolando,
Does the Quad TCC require the same back distance to focal plane in AP 155 f/7 as in 130 f/6.3 GTX/GT.
Thanks,

Re: 900 mount spurious RA motor slewing and stall
Trying the Dec cable on the RA motor will cause a motor stall because the RA cable is trying to run the motor at sidereal, but cannot because it is not plugged in.

Re: 140/155 4” Field Flatteners
End-game for me is a 155/7, so this is good to know!
That's why the silicon gods granted us ThreadRipper! TRs help immensely even with the 60mp images of the IMX455 cameras. I'm waiting
