We made two of them. One is in Chile at our remote observatory. The other is here in our AP observatory. Rolando

Hi, My Mach2 failed to meridian flip last night.. I've looked at the logs and nothing jumps out at me. I was using SGP as well, and normally meridian flips are done with little drama but best I can

👍

He made it I would imagine... :)

Hi Rolando Who makes a 12” fiber Maksutov. I don’t see many over 8” listed. Cheers

Thanks George, that worked out well. Pete

Good to know! 🙂

If the price difference is not large, one may as well go for the 1500# column. As they say, how big is big enough! Don Anderson On

Yeah balancing the Mach 2 has been a breeze. I will get the 12.5 ready and test it out and see how it does. It is a truss design, I can leave the shroud off if you think that will help out.

I don't believe USNO B1.0 is even available for download from USNO anymore. One may be able to get it somewhere else. In any case, if one is looking for super accurate plate solves, the latest and

Bill, I had that combo along with a FLI4040 and big FLI filter wheel with MMOAG and it was fine.

Well, I've never tried that scope, but I have loaded my Mach2 to the limit and imaged/guided just fine. Balance is critical and is easy to do. Weight makes for larger moment, which makes the mount

Hi Karen, Now I see ... in the KIT, those are actually all, in fact, desert “Dust Caps”, but I like to use them to keep any contaminants, wet or dry, off the pins. Makes sense now. I mistook

What say ye? 12.5″ Imaging Dall Kirkham | AG Optical 46lbs, but would need to add focuser (8lbs), TCS System (1lb), and camera/accessories (call these 5 lbs). The OTA is about 18" tall (maybe 17.5"

Hi Pete, I’m kind of new to the forum, so take my thoughts with a grain of sand. I’m building a pier to which I will attach the 119FSA for an 1100GTO I hope to have soon. I plan on using all 8

Pete, Four are enough for the 1100 mount. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone: 815-222-6538 (direct line) Phone: 815-282-1513 (office) Email: george@...

Just wondering as I prepping to mount my 1100GTO. I have removed the old CGE-Pro from the pier and getting ready to mount the 119FSA adapter and wondered if everyone used all 8 1/4-20 bolt positions

Hi Mike, If anyone still has the original CP4 released WHITE case – consider drilling the two bottom corner holes, as Tony (a.k.a. Harley-Davidson) shows in his CP4 video. My original,

Sounds like it is more measuring the accuracy of the mount and closed loop slew than the plate solving. I would think you want to take a FITS image and plate solve with ASTAP and compare the

189 points. Can I do dec-arc modeling with the current APPM version? Is it as simple as making a model with just a bunch of points on my target's declination? Or do I need to wait for the next CP4
