Hi Don. I read your post with interest. What set me down the path to finally get a definitive answer to how to calculate the Back Focus with Filters is that I just acquired an TV NP101is OTA, the

The AP hand controller sends NO signals. It is totally silent unless you, the user, pushes any of the buttons. Roland

Hi Tony There was something else I noticed in your video that got my attention. Your counterweights have the bronze inserts in them. Are these older counterweights, or did you get them with your Mach

Hi Roland 359 MB per image !? Wow ! I guess that the image size must go up exponentially with the number of pixels. The images from my old 2.7 megapixel camera are something like 1.9 MB. From my 16

Just FYI, I used TSX with my 1100 (no encoders) for years. When I added my Mach2 (with AE of course) and set up for remote imaging I quickly learned that TSX was (1) unnecessary and (2) created a

Thx

AAP guiding is frustrating ..I find that I literally must unplug my AP hand controller from the CP4 - as BOTH AAP and the hand controller are send tracking signals ... no kidding. I also have set my

Hello Andrew I have been following your thread on this with interest since I went through this exercise some years ago when setting up my imaging train on my Tele Vue NP127is refractor. The concepts

Hi Liam, Oops, got it figured out. I read where TheSky X had drivers for the 1100GTO, so I didn’t select TeleAPI selection, selected com port 5 (virtual), and corrected the time on my computer to

I use Cartes du Ciel (CdC) for GoTo. CdC integrates well with ASCOM to A-P ASCOM Driver and APCC. With CdC, I use a similar process to Roland for centering elsewhere from the desired object.

Go with George's recommendation. The TSX ascom driver can be found on the bisque site, if you choose TSX. Use this link to download it https://www.bisque.com/wp-content/x2standard/

I can connect with APCC to the mount with the 15 ft serial cable which came with the mount, using Serial Port 3. I think this part is working because I am able to control the mount with APCC, driving

I have been using TSX on my AP1100 regularly. What is the TeleAPI v5.04 driver? I have used the Ascom driver for TSX which you can download from the bisque site. You first have to fire up APCC (if you

Do you get any kinds of errors when trying to connect with to the CP4? Are you sure you are connecting with the correct com port? Liam AP

A new chat has been created: New I recently received an 1100GTO with AE, and I am a new user. I’m trying to figure out the best way to configure it for remote imaging, and would appreciate your

I point and click on the same position each session. Rolando

Just want to remind those who use MaximDL. They have an easy centering routine that I use when framing an image. Instead of doing a plate solve and centering an object, sometimes I want to frame the
