We had a giant one up on the wall in the math lecture room at the Rochester Institute of Technology. It was used to teach incoming engineering students (like myself). Rolando

Hi David, Please make sure you have installed the latest drivers for the MGBoxV2 and that the Device DataSource is set to ASCOM as in this screenshot: -Ray

I set up the meridian limits using APCC last night, and I have to say that it’s a very useful and easy-to-do process. It’s one of those things that you can read about, but you really need to do

I’ve used my MGBoxV2 with APCC on my old computer with no problem, but I’m switching to a PrimaLuceLab Eagle 4, and I have a problem getting the MGBoxV2 connected. I’m pretty sure I’ve

Since I couldn’t find an original “wall-mount” slipstick, I just remembered an old Plan-B, of making my own. We now have the latest PC technology to do it very easily as a home DIY. The

What a great garage sale find. Would be a natural for American Pickers! I remember the huge one in college physics class. We had an "advanced course" in it and also circular slide rules that you

GTX + 16803 + Mach 2 should be illegal. 🙂 Excellent star HFD on focus, all the frames tonight are excellent in terms of star roundness. Not guiding at all.

Right. If Wayne issued a malformed RCAL at some point, homing the mount will clear that. As a rule of thumb with both of my encoder mounts, I use the APPM "RECAL At Zenith" option during the model

If the mount's site latitude and longitude are correct, just home the mount, as Bill suggested. If the mount's latitude is wrong, power cycle the mount and make sure APCC is initializing the mount

My high school days were spent on an IBM 1440 (first 2 years) and a UNIVAC 1106 my senior year. Mostly FORTRAN then COBOL, ALGOL and assembly on the UNIVAC. -- David F.

Did you HOME the Mach 2? From: main@ap-gto.groups.io <main@ap-gto.groups.io> on behalf of Wayne Hixson via groups.io <wayneh9026@...> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2021 10:01 PM To: main@ap-gto.groups.io

Hi Ray, I have tried that no luck. Trying reboot and restart the CP5 right now... nope. This did happen some time ago and you had a solution if I recall but can’t remember!

Hi Wayne, That might happen if there happened to be a communications issue getting the latitude. Try restarting APCC. -Ray

PS running a Mach2. Latest Driver, APCC and ASCOM

Altitude at park 3 should be 47 degrees. Site is correct. This happened before, not sure what the problem is. Wayne

Wow! Awesome Barry. How heavy is it? Mine is a Hughes-Owens Bamboo with glass window in the slide. It is in as good a shape as when I bought it in 1969. Don Anderson

Congrats Barry, ... on finding that huge Pickett. Years ago, I was looking for one as well, and finally gave up. Settled for finding the Electrical Engineering Pickett model instead. Now, seeing

Yes – that is a 6-foot slide rule on the wall. Couldn’t resist buying it years ago at a garage sale. These used to hang on the blackboard in my high school chemistry class so they could teach us
