Thx Bill. I was also considering the 1615… if anything I heard it is a good case for the AP130GT. I feel like the “9.4 inch” dimension is a bit short. But I just measured the mount with foam

Thanks for your advice.

Hi I brought my Mach1 from the US back to Brazil in a Pelican iM2720 Storm Trak Case with foam. It arrived safe and unharmed. Regards E. Oliveira Em qui., 18 de mar. de 2021 às 22:02, WMarton via

I have my Mach1GTO in a Pelican Air 1615. The interior dimensions are 29.6" x 15.5" x 9.4", so it is a somewhat tall and narrow Pelican case. However, I can't rotate the DOVEDV10 of the Mach1 under

(Apologies in advance for the mundane topic... but I just want to check my options before spending the $$...) What are you using to transport the Mach2? Caveat: I don't want to remove the saddle to

Don, Ray, thanks for your continuing advice. Soon as it stops raining I'll go at it again. I use a single monitor, but the warning window might have popped up under something else. I have seen it

Hello Ray,

Through most of middle and high school I used a circular slide rule. In senior year I used money from my grocery store job to buy an HP45. When I got to engineering school, one professor insisted that

Am I correct that this feature is the same functionality Roland used via the keypad on the Mach2 to build a model only along the path of the target to be imaged? If so that sounds like a big win for

Impressive side-by-side Mike. Thanks! Jeff

Bob The pop up warning window may be off your monitor. Do you have a dual monitor setup? Sometimes if you happen to be using only one of the screens in a dual monitor setup, some pop ups won’t show

In the "cleaning up" domain.... Back in October during the Mars opposition, a friend told me about Topaz Labs DeNoise AI that removes noise and sharpens images.

Quite the striking image you have there, Ron. Karen AP

Bob, Nothing should happen immediately because a popup window should show a warning that you should not use Park 1. Parking won't start unless you accept that window. If you didn't see that warning

Horizons continuously slews to new RA/Dec coordinates, so the A-P mount hand controller moves probably won't have much of an effect. The drift could be from changes in the orbit of ISS. In a future

It could be a typo in the units. Remember that one RA sec/sec is 15 arc-sec/sec. I'll fix that in the next build, but it should not affect the tracking. -Ray

REALLY NICE ROLAND I had APOD contact me out of the blue asking if they could post this image. I forgot to reply until I read this, https://www.astrobin.com/full/bzte5l/0/ -- Ron

I use my 1992 vintage A-P portable 8-inch pier with my 1100GTO mount. It is rock solid, even with a 180 EDT scope, 16 megapixel camera, and piggybacked guide scope attached. I set up and take down my

Just to be clear, the first image was during real-time using the regular tracking, the second was using Test Tracking.
