Linton below is a link to a good UTube video on regreasing an AP mount. (2) AP1200GTO Regrease Project - YouTube AP1200GTO Regrease Project Don Anderson

Eric, Thank you for your opinion, but I don't see things the way you do. All APCC needs to do is send the mount's current flip point through SGPro's API. That is literally APCC's only involvement

Ok... If I didn't know better I would think this was double talk, but I'm sure this must be a miscommunication. Here is the problem I'm having Ray: 1. A few weeks ago you and I had a discussion in

Agree. Way over my head. Jim Get Outlook for iOS

Eric --- I was referring to this part of your comment. It just means I don't know because I don't regularly use SGPro, so you should ask the developers questions about SGPro settings (or look in the

@Bryan thanks for the confirmation with the AP130GTX @Rolando, I acknowledge both your email notes, thanks, will not do anything which gets me, my scope or mount in trouble @Joe - your real question

And the sycophants out there (Dean) who troll and "like" replies are not only rude and unhelpful, but frankly disruptive. Unbelievable. God forbid a person who forks out $14k for a mount and

Ray, This is such a bizarre conversation. Perhaps you guys are too close to the problem, perhaps I don't understand how A-P meridian delay works, or both. Here is what you had to say on the matter in

Eric, I am not sure what there is to explain unless you don't understand how A-P's meridian delay works. APCC simply tells SGPro your mount's meridian flip point. -Ray

I'm sure that is possible, but A-P must first approve new features and functionality. -Ray

Shailesh, What is your scope’s Latitude? As you get closer to the equator, attaching the scope to the dovetail plate with its opened rings, begins to get dicey. It only becomes ideal at higher

You are really asking for trouble doing it this way. Rolando

Park2 is usually recommended for easy loading. Open the rings, lift the scope up into the rings and close them. Trying to load a scope that has the dovetail already attached to the scope is a

Shailesh as long as the clamps are on the underside of the OTA, as shown in the Park 2 position at https://astro-physics.info/tech_support/mounts/park-positions-defined.pdf there should be enough

George, You are on to an idea, I had not thought about removing the scope from the rings before attaching it to the mount. Park2 will now enable me to remove and place the scope on the open rings as

Shailesh, The advantage of Park 2 is that all you have to do is to set the scope into the rings and then you can let go…the scope will not fall out. Regards, George George

George, Thanks for your reply. Park2 and Park3 have similar height challenges for me (CWs down, RA vertical, only DEC changes), is there anyway to load the CWs later and have someone hold the CW shaft

Shaillesh, It is safest and easiest to load a scope by yourself in the Park 2 position. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone: 815-222-6538 (direct line) Phone:

I have an AP1100 on a pier sitting about 59 inches above ground/concrete floor. To load a TEC 180FL at that height in the recommended Park 3 position (CWs down) is a stretch. Is it possible to load

I just re-greased my 1200GTO Mount following the instructions and it was a piece of cake. I highly recommend using the greases that AP sells as it comes with great instructions and some
