The internal wiring is a simple pass-thru. It is totally isolated from the chassis. The wire is AWG 16 which will carry 15 amps conservatively, and up to 22 amps

Ray, the script would work if you connect TheSkyX to your mount through the AP V2 ASCOM driver. If you are connecting directly to the mount's COM port in TheSkyX, then I don't think it is possible

Ray Gralak says - Hey Ray - you may want to reread what I wrote. I offered to create a simple script for you for free. :-) Ray Palmer says - Thank you for that offer, I did notice that offer and is

Yeah, and distance is also a factor when it comes to sizing DC wiring. I just use the following tool to keep myself straight: https://powerwerx.com/help/recommended-wire-gauge-calculator /dale

Under Gemini Telescope.net under Function menu there is meridian flip >>> I used to have the original Gemini GOTO system. Absolutely HATED it. It was about as user-hostile as any GOTO system I have

Erm. I have to ask, based on your questions, just what is it that you have in mind? Any typical single- or dual-imager setup riding on top of the mount should not pull anything near 15A @ 12V DC

My G11 + Gemini-II happens to be set up inside my house right now and I don't see a manual meridian flip button or command in the menu tree. I guess it's time to triple-check it and find what I have

It is a straight-through run that is fully isolated from the mount frame, as it should be. It has no internal fusing. That wouldn't be a bad thing to add. My memory is a bit faded but IIRC, it is 14

>>>Losmandy G11 + Gemini-II actually losmandy does have meridian flip >>> I don't consider AP's approach to meridian management to be a "gaping hole" agree completely - at least for my use -- Brian

Good grief. I have all of the following non-AP GOTO GEM mounts and NOT ONE of them has a "pier flip" button or menu command in the hand controller. Rainbow Astro RST-135 + Hubo-i SE Losmandy G11 +

Hi Ray, While I was troubleshooting the declination axis motor issue with my Mach2, I noticed something that looks like a bug in APCC Pro 1.8.8.11 on the AE tab. If I start the homing process by

If you are connecting SkyX through the AP V2 ASCOM driver on Windows then you would not need to disconnect/reconnect anything. -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command

The meridian's position doesn't change. It is the reference line across the sky from due North to due South. Maybe you meant "meridian delay"? Let me ask you this -- what if you could eliminate the

Hey Ray - you may want to reread what I wrote. I offered to create a simple script for you for free. :-) Or, you could upgrade to the GTOCP4. -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC

Hi Ray, Let's use your "other manufacturer" pier flip button as an example: 1. Say the mount is at (RA_1, Dec_1) - whatever coordinates those happen to be. 2. You click the "Pier Flip" and the mount

Ray Palmer says - Ray Gralak and Rolando, I appreciate all your feedback so far, but it has become evident that many AP owners do NOT have access to a simple pier flip feature like so many

How much current can I draw through the Anderson Powerpole passthrough on the Mach2GTO? Or alternatively, what is the AWG & length of the internal wiring, and are the Powerpole connectors 15, 30 or

10 min. unguided at 2800mm FL is pretty darn good! Before I used SharpCap's method, I tried various manual drift techniques and only occasionally got it that good. (C11??) Now I understand that

I would convert it to run on the iPad. All I need is the commands and the logic.

The script I would write would only run on Windows. It would probably be in VbScript. (BTW, Telnet is not a scripting language, so it would not work by itself). -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author
