Hi, In days past, I thought of myself as a smart guy. I am aging, and finding opportunities to question the continuing truth of that assessment. I'm sure you ship new 1100GTO each month, yet this

What about dec balance? The manual says to balance camera heavy. I used to achieve counterweight heavy and camera heavy by balancing with the lens cap on. But after a while I figured that the lens cap

Use 64 bit unless you have a driver that is only 32 bits. APCC vs ASCOM V2, TSX 32 bit, Pegasus power drivers, ASI cameras, EFW, optec focusers, Celestron Focusers all work fine for me, and absolve

AP400 GTO: The GTO Keypad: (GTO-1) has a 15' cable which connects to the GTO control panel. While the cable is working it is shedding bits of black plastic snow from the sheathing. Is this field

I set up and take down my 1100 mount every night that I use it. In doing so I found that running the Y-cable outside the mount instead of through it saves several minutes of setup and takedown time.

No one can tell you that because every setup is different. However, you can try using the model afterwards to see how it performs. If you can reproduce the position of everything, especially polar

I have aborted many image acquisitions by clicking on the abort button in the on the fly section. Granted a plate solve may continue but I highly doubt that the plate solve is the process that does

This was running as a dragscript. I did contact Leo to ask how this would be handled and he stated the camera driver does not accept an abort request when it is taking an image. But I wonder why it
