Re: APCC v1.9 and one-year renewal subscriptions #APCC

Hi Ray, I got my AP1100 at the start of April. I initially updated without uninstalling the previous version and everything looked good until I checked the ELTIMA driver which indicated an older

Re: APCC v1.9 and one-year renewal subscriptions #APCC

Hello everyone, Okay, it’s time for me to wade into this topic. First, let me say that I have been a member of both AP user groups for at least ten years, and yet have not posted in nearly that

Re: APCC v1.9 and one-year renewal subscriptions #APCC

Hello Dominique, Let me rephrase: The APCC version you have now will continue to operate, forever, for free. If your license is more than one year old and you choose to renew now, you will

Re: Dec-Arc Tracking in APCC Pro v1.9 - an explainer please?

Hi, Seeking to know if the option of the 4 new functionalities is worth it for me and more particularly this one, the question that you ask Dean interests me too. I have a little trouble understanding

Re: Dec-Arc Tracking in APCC Pro v1.9 - an explainer please?

Yes, it appears that that is all it takes. Couldn't be any simpler. I was initially wondering if there was another set or type of APPM data that needed to be acquired to implement the feature. --

Re: Dec-Arc Tracking in APCC Pro v1.9 - an explainer please?

Dean just to answer your question here: >>>How do I implement this new feature other than setting the check box? After making your model you just check the box. you don't need to do anything else --

Re: Dec-Arc Tracking in APCC Pro v1.9 - an explainer please?

Thanks Ray. So, there needs to be a APPM data acquisition and then APCC applies the data as is usual for a tracking rate model. The Dec-Arc Tracking is another layer of precision on top of the APCC

Re: APCC Pro 1.9.0.1 installation bug.

Hi Ray, Thank you very much by removing the protection I was able to install. I had never had this type of problem with this dll., Probably an evolution of the protection on my antivirus. I put the

Re: APCC v1.9 and one-year renewal subscriptions #APCC

Hi Karen, You say things about your 2 answers which are slightly contradictory. On the one hand, that for APCC it does not work like a Saas. "We have not charged any fees whatsoever, in the last 5

Re: #APCC Pro 1.9 w/ASTAP platesolve test always fails #APCC

Yep, that did it. BTW, is there a place (other than through this forum) to report issues re APPC/APPM (or even enhancement requests) that we could come across or is this the correct place to ask

Re: Dec-Arc Tracking in APCC Pro v1.9 - an explainer please?

Hi Dean, In a nutshell: The all-sky models produce a tracking rate derived from the best-fit pointing terms across all its data points. However, it is possible that the equipment has some

Looks good Mike! You have the latest version, so it looks like there might not be a need to uninstall the old APCC version after all. -Ray

Re: Ugghhh cross threaded CW shaft into CW shaft adapter with metal threaded sleeve

Hi Chris That sounds really interesting about CLP being a good cutting oil. I will definitely have to try it. I learned from the experienced machinists who ran the Bridgeport milling machines to use

Re: #APCC Pro 1.9 w/ASTAP platesolve test always fails #APCC

You found a subtle bug. :-) Try renaming the filename's extension from ".fits" to ".fit". APPM expects the filename to have a three character extension, "fit", so it incorrectly constructed the name

Re: APCC Pro 1.9.0.1 installation bug.

Hi Dominique, The installation of ApUtils.DLL has not changed in a long time, so that implies something local to your computer is causing it. In particular, the error message indicates there was an
