Thanks for the info. My concern is what would happen outside the modeled area. As someone who has done models myself in a different area, I just want to make sure there are not extrapolation errors

Yes, I've had it a while! Yes, original gear box with the two allen head screws for adjustment of the gear mesh. Still a great mount though - a workhorse. Do you have instructions for greasing the

David There have been posts in the post showing that building a model along the declinaton of the single object works well. See lengthy thread at https://ap-gto.groups.io/g/main/topic/77675005 In

There are no nylon clutch plugs in the Mach1. There is nothing to stick. However, the grease in the top rotating bearing may be drying out and could use some new grease. It sounds like your Mach1 is

I read about the grease kit, but couldn't find it on the website. So you have to phone to order then. Only issue is that I'm in Canada and, no offense Astro-Physics, but ordering from Canada is very

Just received my Mach2 and very happy with it. Until I get a permanent setup, I set up and break down my system just about every time I use it. I have APPM working, but I was thinking last night that

I got my mach1 about 8 weeks ago and the dec was sticking and sounded like metal rubbing against metal so I stripped it down and there wasnt any signs of grease left I have used lubriplate 105 on

Call Astro-Physics and ask for the grease kit. It comes with two types of grease. One for the gear box and one for the worm and worm wheel. It also comes with instructions. The grease is great,

PS the other issue is ASTAP is vastly superior to platesolve2. I no longer have the later configured. I would recommend supporting NINA and ASTAP instead since both are free. Unlike SGP. (buy

Following. I read the thread and have experienced much the same as Shane. APPM, scope and dome do not play together on my setup either. timing is off and it's quite a chore to revert back to SGP

Ah, then maybe it just needs a re-greasing. thanks, Keith

Hi Keith, The documentation page for legacy AP product might help if you haven't looked up : https://www.astro-physics.info/tech_support/tech_support_legacy.htm Clear skies, Sébastien De :

The RA axis on my Mach1GTO (104xx series) is getting quite sticky in RA. I've searched and found reference to the nylon clutch plugs sticking (not sure it applies to this mount) and reference to

Hi Marty, The first thing I ran into that flipped me out a bit is what happens when the clutches are loose. I could not reliably hand tighten enough and need to use an allen wrench to snug them up

I checked out the Rainbow Astro 135. Its pretty sweet, considering the load capacity and the weight of the mount. Its definitely portable and affordable.

And I’ve got it. Thanks!

We have the first clear night that we've had in a while. I noticed that APCC had been updated, so I installed it. When I started the latest version, it flagged my CP4 firmware as out of date. I

Tried to send you my email address. Maybe this third try will go through. Speed doesn't affect it. I'm hearing the grinding noise at all speeds: 64x to 1200x. Running v1.8.8.17 of APCC Pro.
