Hello all, I am in the process of setting up a new 1100. I have tried to connect to the CP4 with APCC pro with no luck. This is with a direct Ethernet connection between computer and CP4. I have tried

Here is what I put together for my counterweights using the short Ridgid toolboxes originally suggested by Tony (a.k.a. Harley Davidson). I need two cases to hold the counterweights for my 1100 Mount;

For my TEC 140 + imaging train (a pretty long imaging setup), I had to add the 8" extension to prevent the camera colliding with the pier legs, so whether you need the extension really depends on your

Thanks for the reply Dale. Using data from https://www.mide.com/air-pressure-at-altitude-calculator, I come up with a correlation at my altitude of P(mbar) = BARO (inHg) x 3.5599 x (T(C)

I think it's pretty obvious and well-understood that the local air pressure is what goes there. How one gets that number is up to their discretion and judgement. For some, the reports given by a

I am at a loss to understand the details of the pressure required for the APPM model, and how some folks are getting that from the local weather report. The APPM model asks for "pressure" in mbar.

If you use it for imaging, then no extension is needed. If you want to use it visually then you will want to raise it up with an extension piece. Rolando

I am using the Eagle pier, very happy with it. I use an 8" extension as well. I have numerous scopes I use with it, the heaviest being either a TEC140 or Edge 11" scope, not sure which is

Hello Everyone, Anyone using the 6" Eagle adjustable folding pier? What scope do you have? and whether you have a 4" or 8" extension? I'm expecting my Mach2GTO to arrive soon next month. and I need

I use a Maxcase 540. It is a Peli like case produced in Italy, very high quality and right price. I have changed the original foam with the same material used by AP for shipping, very easy to cut. I

That is an interesting piece of kit. I would need to think a bit about where I would put it. On the other hand, I was successful in getting my run going with SGP as I have a license for that. I had

Hi Dale, The reason for using ActiveX is that it allows the same interface code in APPM to be used for CCDSoft V5 and TSX Camera Add-On. :-) As for why TSX does not register its ActiveX components

For what it's worth, Evan@Pegasus just announced a more comprehensive sensor that plugs into the existing PowerBox ecosystem: https://pegasusastro.com/uranus-meteo-sensor/ Available Q1/2021. Pretty

Thanks Marcelo, I had the API key from years ago, but I set it wrong in APCC. I had to choose ASCOM.OCH.ObservingConditions as the driver so I could select my PowerBox for temp and humidity, but use

HI Harley, I use the Ridgid tool box set to store my AP900. Really works great, nice sturdy rugged box set. FYI, Home Depot is running a sale of the 3 piece set till Christmas. Wes WA5TKU

Even though I have the Pegasus Powerbox Advance, I haven't installed it yet (waiting for the appropriate cables to arrive) so the details are missing, but look at the image 1 of the link, the pressure

tony, Thanks for posting the helpful video, especially the detailed Rubbermaid product information to facilitate ordering them. Out of curiosity, what do you recommend for storing the GTOCP5 unit and

Thanks Marcelo, I have OpenWeatherMap API key stored in my ASCOM settings, but the pressure still appears editable in APCC pro, so I do. Not sure if I am missing something somewhere.

You don't need to enter the pressure manually, follow these steps and you can get it (along with temperature and humidity as well) from the
