Rolando, Thanks to George and Liam, I was able to program the personality #120 into the CP4, VIa APCC now I see encoders enabled. Does one blue and one gree light mean the signals are solid? Besides

M Hambrick, That is an excellent solution for storing the counterweights and CW bar. Your photos really help to visualize the possibilities. Now, I need to hunt down a supplier for the high density

Try this: 1. Turn on the mount and plug the USB-serial dongle for it. 2. Open Control Panel->Device Manager->Ports COM and LPT (see attached screen shot). 3. You should see COM5 listed. 4. Now plug

Thanks Mike for the reply, When I go the solar guider settings, it only has a single Port listed which is the same one the mount uses. I plugged the solar guider into another USB port on my laptop but

Hello, I like the structure of this Galaxy and the field of view. You know its too saturated in colors for my personal taste 😉. Maybe a little too noisy. Is it cropped ? Thanks for sharing Didier

That depends on the type of USB-serial adapter. My Edgeport USB-serial box lets me specify what port to use, but Control panel -> Device Manager on my Windows 8.1 machine doesn't. That sounds like an

Hello, Maybe this isn't an AP question but hoping someone here would know... My CP4 connects to my laptop via a usb-serial adapter and shows up as COM Port 5. Is there a way to change the COM Port

Very interesting spiral arm structure in this galaxy. Great job with processing this image, Geoff. Colors and faint structures like those jets are skillfully done! Luca

Lee Here is an excerpt from the APPC Pro manual on pressure. The highlight below is mine. MGPV2 Box will send local pressure to APPC via the astromi.ch ASCOM driver. Pressure: Here you can enter the

Nice job Geoff! the jet with the right-angled bend always threw me, i always think it is some sort of reflection Brian -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

You did a mighty fine job on that one! The jets are definitely there. Rolando

I had some trouble processing this one. There are faint jets emanating from the galaxy and getting these to show up without blowing out the galaxy was tricky. Taken over the last new moon

Hi Andrea In my experience APPM does not work that way at all, but it's much easier. You define a set of points in the sky, run the model, sit back and it finishes. You only get one shot at the model

Some years ago, I decided that I wanted to set up a home wifi network. It's standard stuff now, but at the time I thought it was pretty special, and I thought *I* was special for doing it. I thought

Hello, I am going to use APPM, and I have experience with tpoint. In Tpoint you can define a set of points close together to quickly start with the corrections and then continue on more distant

Jim, on this forum asked me what I used to protect my RAPAS & CP's. Well I did two videos. tony Case used for protection of the Astro-Physics CP's and Cables

M Hambrick WOW, you did a spectacular job on that! I did not put my CW's in a case but I will be now. THANKS for the pictures and materials required! Like you I setup and take

Slightly off-topic, but I’m looking for storage/transport boxes for my AP900GTO. The Ridgid boxes are not on sale here, but I’m looking into the similar MAXIMUM wheeled box set. It’s a tight and

I've always thought that the CP4/5's ethernet/wifi connectivity would be a prime candidate for running a multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS-SD (DNS-base service discovery) service, as that would greatly

Very nice Andrea. BTW, I am actually from Italy. Was born their and adopted to the USA. Clear skies. tony
