Hi Ray, Thanks for your feedback, however I don't want my mount to flip at any particular hour angle. This is not a seamless or user friendly process for someone that just needs to flip to the other

That’s a great image, Joel! Luca

Aloha Ray, Yes sir, that FIXED IT!! Thank you and sorry about all the confusion and trouble! I was logged onto this forum earlier, but missed the '2nd page' Via apcc, after connecting, manual

Very nice indeed. -Steve

beautiful, wow. well done-- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Hello friends, I thought I'd share my latest image of van den Bergh 14 and 15 in Camelopardalis. This image was taken with a tandem refractor setup mounted on an AP1100GTO CP4. I was a little

Thank you very much for the diameter and thread pitch! I was hoping to find a tap of the same size; Roland, Howard, or George are invited to comment about this not being an ANSI size? Mark

That’s a beautiful setup and I love the detail and color in the image. Thanks for sharing. Clear skies, Richard — Richard G. Hennig Professor and Alumni Professor of Materials Science and

thank you!

thank you Roland

Thank you for the quick response. Ray, I am using an SW Esprit 100.

No, I'm afraid not. Roland

will the new keypad software work on GOTO CP3 V chip? Don Anderson

Hi Marcelo, Yes, the temperature can affect both the refraction calculation and the Young modulus (flexure) of an instrument. APCC does account for refraction, but since flexure can also change with

Beautiful image Andrea! Don Anderson

Yes, temperature has a large effect on the modeling. Ray can comment on that, but I have seen this many times myself. Rolando

It's summer here in the Southern Hemisphere and I'm learning how the modeling works in my Mach2. Two nights ago the temperature at night was high, around 20ºC and in almost all the frames of that

Aloha Steven and Deonb, Yes, I have been using the Sharpcap polar align tool and really like it. And I understand what all is going on now with the az and alt (ie 2 star) drift alignment. I'm

Is there an atmospheric refraction calculation happening? If so, then the difference would be about +- 1/2 degree from one side to the other. Rolando

The RA axis actually visually move. Not by a lot, but much more than can be explained by sidereal. I don't rely on the camera for anything yet since I can't rationalize the mount movement yet. I've
