Maybe that's what's confusing me. If APPM will be able to platesolve using ASTAP directly, and I have an ASCOM camera (which APPM can also use) then no other intermediate software (SGP, NINA, etc.) is

ASTAP support comes in V1.9 of APCC. Until then I use SkyX. SGP is another option.

I have not done any modeling yet, and I'm not sure I completely understand the software chain involved, but It seems it would have been nice to include Leonardo Orazi's "Voyager" during the new APPM

Voyager and NINA both have very active development. The older apps like Maxim, SGP, and SkyX have much longer cycles between updates.

How it compares with any given other app is a highly subjective assessment. NINA has some features that other apps don't have, and NINA does not have some features that some other apps have. What

Dale Thank you for your input. I'll investigate it further. Kent Kirkley

Dale I've just become aware of NINA. How does it compare with other systems like Maxim DL, APCC, The Sky, etc. Is it available or works with Mac OS? Thanks Kent Kirkley

Hi Luke, There's nothing in particular that you need to do in NINA regarding the fact that you're driving a 12000+CP3, so your questions are more of a general NINA usage kind. In this capacity, the

Hi Wayne, Previously you wrote: There was a reason I suggested you should use "just warn". If the mount is configured to auto-flip, then whatever control program you are using might have issued a

Night 5, still the same story. Excellent performance with a massive load on the Mach 2 mount. I have still done nothing at all in terms of the model, PA, or anything else. I should probably add in for

This was working great until tonight. The scope reach the meridian limit about an hour before transit and would do a CW up pier flip and resume from there. Now it starts the flip but stops halfway

Hi all, I am trying to work out how best to use my AP1200 with NINA. I have had a 10plus year break and have been trying to bring myself up to speed with the tech over the past 6months. I have

Brian Thanks for the clarification on using the baseline with AE! Bryan

Hi Joe for a mount with absolute encoders like yours, you are going to want a different approach than what's outline in the baseline guiding document. (My experience is with the 1600 ae and i also
