Re: APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3
Hi guys! Tried that several times and no go, but my subconscious evidently worked on the problem in my sleep. First thing when I got up I checked the hand controller and it was as set to Auto Connect

Re: Counter weight up slew vs. continuing past the meridian, any real differences?
Hi,
IMHO there is no difference. I don't use APCC/APMM, but just use SGP and set any required meridian delay in the V2 driver. For me the decision is determined by what the starting position of my

I've seen many comments about the ability of AP mounts to slew to a counterweight up position with the scope on the east side, so that you can avoid the flip and continue west. Assuming I want to

Re: Slide Rules and Slipsticks - in the 1960's B.C. - i.e. (Before Computers)
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).

Meridian Limits in APCC
#APCC
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

Problem with MGBoxV2

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

Fun with the Mach 2...
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.

Re: APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3
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

Re: APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3
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

Re: APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3
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!

That might happen if there happened to be a communications issue getting the latitude. Try restarting APCC.

APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3
Altitude at park 3 should be 47 degrees. Site is correct. This happened before, not sure what the problem is.
