You can use anywhere from 12.5 to 18 volts on the 1100 mount. So if you have a variable voltage supply, dial it in to about 14.5 volts. It will work at up to 24 volts but will get quite hot, so it's

what a dream ... fantastic you don't need much equipment , I wish I'll have the chance to get there one time. Andrea

Beautiful images Roland. tony

Forgot to include: The images were shot this evening on our driveway and lanai with my little Sony NEX7 and an inexpensive 12mm wide angle Rokinon lens. Single exposure of 30 seconds at F2.8 for the

Hi Astronuts, I haven't been as active on the groups because Marj and I took a short vacation to Hawaii Island just over a week ago. I will be back in the office early next week. For those who have

Many people have a slow eye-hand response time, so slewing around with the buttons can cause a crash at high rates. Rolando

You are quite right Jerome. This is a potential issue for any mount. It’s all physics. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics 11250 Forest Hills Road Machesney Park, IL 61115 Phone:

I sent you a private response on this. Thanks.

Hi Curtis, You should use the Log Zipper utility, which is available from PEMPro's Wizard's menu. Please include the debug logs, which is an option in the Log Zipper utility. BTW, please make sure

Since they generate heat internally, I would think you could place or wrap them in some kind of insulating material when it gets really cold. Woody

I like to keep my configuration as similar as possible between running at home and running in the field. What I didn’t mention earlier is that the only things that change between the two methods

I'm just trying to find a log for PEMPro. But -- you're right -- I don't use MaxPoint, so I had a mistaken idea about the publisher.

Eric, For the Mach 2, the max slew rate is 1800x, and the max button rate is 1200x. The 1800x button rate is not available on any mount, probably for safety reasons. -Ray

I use Deoxit D5 for electrical contacts https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-D5S-6-DeoxIT-Contact-Cleaner/dp/B00006LVEU -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

And when I initialized from the hand controller just now (no power cycle because I didn’t initialize from APCC for those photos) I got the option for 1800 Slew but only 1200 button on the hand

In that case I’ve got a problem. 30 min ago when I initialized I had the option to select slew 1800 and button 1200 on the the controller and using APCC-Pro. This has been the case since I received

This is so familiar. Years ago, I wasn't able to balance a new heavier load on my Celestron CGEM with the stock counterweight bar and weights. I had the facilities, so the "obvious" solution was to

Tidbit for those whom are interested – I asked one of our most avid users of the NUC here are his comments and I have no inclination of promoting, just sharing knowledge😊: Yes I actually

There is a lot of great information in the GTOCP4 Servo Motor Drive System manual that is posted on the AP1100 product page. Appendix B is titled Power Considerations and has a lot of useful
