I'm confused. I have an ASI6200MM. I have the latest ASCOM drivers installed. I realize APPM is 32 bit and so struggles, so I have it set to bin 2, subframe 1/2x1/2 center. If I don't use a

I've been using the CP5 Wi-Fi successfully for several months now. My primary method of connectivity to my PC is serial over USB, but I always connect the CP5 to my home Wi-Fi network so I can simply

I've had my 1100 for a few months and it has performed well. However I noticed from day 1 a small amount of free movement in the RA axis while the Dec axis has none. The amount of play in the RA

@Bill Long: Should add that it is time for a new CDK14. Gotta test the maximum out! Yeah, there is a performance limitation involved that is far more difficult to fix: the human that has to

Hi Peter, > I entered them in the ASCOM driver. Finally I rechecked that driver and they were there. If you are using APCC with the ASCOM driver, then APCC will initialize the mount. So, the

Los Osos 35° 18' 36.54'' N 120° 49' 31.5804'' W I entered them in the ASCOM driver. Finally I rechecked that driver and they were there.

Where did you enter your lat/lon numbers? -Christopher Erickson Observatory engineer Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.summitkinetics.com

I did manually enter the lat and longitude, and also powered the mount off several times and restarted APCC. The problem persisted. It mostly affected the DEC axis, but once the RA also did not

The 'HOME' button does not exist on a mount without AE. It is on the AE tab of APCC pro.

Hi Bill, >> Home would work even with the mount lost. does this also apply to a mount without absolute encoders? Kind Regards, Horia Von: main@ap-gto.groups.io

Looks like its performing nicely and is only limited by the seeing conditions you have there. A 540mm FL scope is small and light so I doubt the 1100 even knew it was on the mount at all.

I’m still not sure I understand the fine points here, but thought I would share this. It was unexpectedly clear all night (hazy but image-able), so the new mount got its first light (if that can

Bill is correct. Not only that, both Latitude and Longitude are incorrectly set to 0 at one point: 0000050 2021-08-01 00:40:54.250: Debug, Command Thread, TX = ':Gt#' 0000051 2021-08-01

Not sure this is causing your problem, but this warning entry is all over the place in the log: Is your site information correct? If not, update it and reboot the mount and try again.

Plate solve corrections generated by SGP are not being made by my 1200. The plate solve may work as a blind solve or direct solve by PS2, the error is shown, but on the next try there is no change in

@Wade: > I hope that this makes sense, Very helpful. Thank you. Linwood

My suggestion is to regard “find home” as a recovery tool. In about 10 years of using Astro-Physics mounts, I’ve never actually used the “find home” feature. In my normal workflow, I

Thanks. @Roland said: You actually do not ever need to park the mount. You can turn the power off any place in the sky. When you resume the next session, the mount will know exactly where it

I believe that the “known parking positions” are all based on how the mount thinks it’s oriented with respect to the sky. I believe that the “find home” will position the mount relative to
