So like a buffoon I didn't have full charge on my battery but I let it run it's course as much as it could. Thankfully it made it through the imaging for the evening with no problems. Hours later when

Sorry I was just being funny with that comment.

Woody, When I started this thread, I was hoping someone from AP would chime in about if or when a retrofit for the quick release gearboxes would be made available for my AP1600. I assume that that

Woody, I installed the PowerWerx meter in line with the power supply yesterday and tested balance. Al was fine in RA with equal current draw while moving the mount slowly. However, when I set the

Hi Bill - Impressive stats on Mach 2. You are concerned about your 1100, what is its performance like with a similar setup? Ed

When the quality of your focus frames (admittedly on a very large 16803 chip) are the exact same, at 5 mins as they are at 5 seconds.... you know you have something great on your hands. My 1100 cannot

Dude there is something wrong with your config. I literally cannot get the mount to NOT produce perfect stars. Call me if you are up and need a hand. :)

I clearly need to send my 1100 in for repair or something. This Mach 2 is killing it. Keep in mind, my 1100 has AE as well, and the Mach 2 is shredding it like lettuce.

Model running now and imaging unguided and frames are just as good as the guided ones. No change, because there really isnt anything to correct reactively. The 16803 chip is at home on this GTX with

Duncan I am not a user of SGP but have been using APCC CW up limits consistently for imaging for years. Firstly with MaxIM through MaxPilote’s automation and over the last 3 years exclusively with

Bill Long has shared a OneDrive file with you. To view it, click the link below. TestShot_20210310_220951.fit I have more work to do, but here is a PHD2 graph in its entirety from the Mach 2, 5 min

Ray, I am able to run "AP Log Zipper", there are 2 files shown in the app: ap.ini and Setting.apdb, however both were dated 12/29/2018. Maybe I did not enable ASCOM log. Yanzhe

>>>They have not figured out yet that sending the mount via a relative time move, such as is used in every autoguiding program i am fairly sure most (all?) imaging applications that use platesolving

That is because SGP sends a new co-ordinate, a co-ordinate slew, to the mount. It is basically sending the mount to a new position each time, so that always triggers a safety slew when the scope is

Duncan, I have used it and you don't have to do anything special in SGP. APCC has to be setup with East and West meridian limits and the checkbox to allow CW up slews within East limits needs to be

Has anybody been able to make counterweight up slews work in APCC Pro when using Sequence Generator Pro Framing and Mozaic wizard to initiate the slew?

Jack I use the PowerWerx for balance on the 1100. I slew at 255 or even 600 rate. You can use either amps or watts. For each axis, if I can get up versus down plus/minus 1 W (roughly plus/minus

Jack, Yes on the Nylon-tipped clutch bolts, but that’s not I greased. At least on my Mach1, I believe there’s a sleeve bearing involved and a big flat greased surface between the two parts

Woody, As far as re-greasing the clutches, I do not see a way to do that. I removed the clutch bolts before and, if memory serves me, they had nylon tips that pressed against the internal metal disc.

Thanks Rolando. tony
