I’m not impressed with the image, particularly with an 80 mm scope. AP cautions against large moments of inertia. You are moving the center of gravity a long way from the RA axis. Even with good

AP has an extension for the counterweight shaft. Frank

Triple piggy back works! Shot taken with the SV80, weights are nearly maxed out.

If that's in the keypad, a -8 puts you somewhere in India or China. Rolando

Aloha Ray and Dominique, Oops, I'm using ver 1.8.8.3. I'll get the new version installed tonight. The site location coordinates look good and the time offset is -8.00 for the Pacific time

Aloha Steve, Thanks, I will look into that! Spent all day (about 7 hrs) looking at drift alignment theory and trying to get my bearings. I understand it better now. Seems like the drift align

Thanks Roland. Robert

How do get in touch with you about Atrack? Max Mirot

The AP portable pier has quite a bit of adjustment range using the turnbuckles for leveling the top plate. Don Anderson On Wednesday,

Jeff Could you try this: Leveling a Telescope Tripod by Shimming it (HOW TO) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjHrB34E0Rs This is my video. I use this technique all the time.

Good Afternoon, For those of you using the Asiair Pro, what method are are you using to connect to the Asiair Pro to your CP4? WiFi, USB cable, Ethernet cable..... Thanks Steve

The top surface of the motor box and the polar scope are machined to be square with respect to the bottom surface of the mount. Rolando

APCC has a flip feature. The latest keypad software also has a flip feature as well as the original meridian delay. Rolando

The 1100 mount would hardly know it was there. Rolando

What about a 12.75 inch f 4.75 Newtonian on an 1100? I also need to have it built as it is now a truss mount dob. It should have a 15 inch tube, about 52 inches long and about 35-40 pounds. The

Yes, the encoders do not have tilt sensors to compensate for an out of level setup. So for a 1 degree tilt E-W you will have a pointing error of 1 degree in RA when referencing any sky object to the

Fwiw... I use an AP portable pier which does not have level adjustment. I’m more concerned with weight imbalance but I also prefer a level pier when imagining. So... I level the pier with a

Serial numbers 89 and later have version P02-08 Rolando

To be clear, when I am talking about blinking images, I am not talking about evaluating a single 10 minute exposure. I am blinking the first exposure of the session with the last. They are separated
