MGBox V2 mounting?
I recently picked up a MGBox V2 for use with APCC/APPM, and hopefully to automate setting the location using the MGBox GPS.
Considering the environmental data such as temp and humidity, should I mount

Re: Should I use my BARADV for the upcoming lunar eclipse?
Can't help you with the math, but AFAIK, the more pixels your target covers, the better it will be. It will indeed have higher resolution.
Take it to an extreme: Would you want a 1-degree-wide image

Re: Should I use my BARADV for the upcoming lunar eclipse?
Incorrect. The resolution is the number of pixels within the image, so if the image on the sensor grows by 2X, you have doubled the number of pixels in both directions.
Suppose Mare Imbrium covers a

I have a 130GTX and a camera with pixel size 3.76um. Is there any advantage to using a BARADV to double the size of the lunar image on the sensor? It won't increase the resolution (right?) because

Re: Did the design of the 900GTO or SPA change at some point, so the RPA is not essential?
For remote imaging I use a Meade Giant Field tripod. Originally with my 900 GTO I just drilled and taped holes to attach the mount directly on the flat top of the Meade. Used it that way for years. I

Re: Ethernet Control of AP1100 Mount
I've been using Ethernet connection ever since Ray introduced Ethernet connection in A-P V2 ASCOM diver a while ago and has been trouble free. I don't use APCC.

Thanks Christopher, Mike C, and Ray for your helpful replies:
* If Christopher can't make Eltima work, I am darned sure I have no hope.
* Mike, as I understand it, the StarTech ethernet to serial

As long as tracking rate correction is turned off, you can use APCC.
