Wow. Extremely cool. Thank you.

The number at the bottom of the chart is in seconds, so for approx. 900 second run the Dec had one correction, the RA had 4. Correction pulse was sent only when the error exceeded 0.3 arc seconds. So,

Christopher, You both need more counterweights to improve performance. See: https://www.astro-physics.info/tech_support/accessories/mounting_acc/balance-to-optimize-guiding.pdf Regards,

Thank you Mr Christen. That helps me understand the benefits and differences of each of your Mach 2 and 1100 non-AE mounts which are similarly priced. If I may summarise my understanding: A Mach 2

I'm not familiar with Maxim, so cant decipher the charts... but about how often do you find you are sending a guide pulse? I.e.- With the encoder are you requiring a guidecorrection every few

APPM solving using ASTAP has been great. I did nothing to the settings either. Built a model at 0.87"/px and 0.6"/px and both times it worked like a champ.

Here are the zipped files. I copied all the logs just to be safe but the ones that matter are the one with time stamp around 8:11pm on 8/31/21 I had to use google drive because the APCC file is too

Geoff, APPM just starts ASTAP with the settings you have configured on APPM's tab. Either way, ASTAP is doing the plate solving, not APPM. In my testing, ASTAP seemed to be a very finicky plate

Ray, I did review the images from the failed solves. The images from the failed solves will solve if I use ASTAP directly. The 30+ model run finished fine with only a failed couple of solves due to

Yep I am sure but I will redo it later and post. Sorry about not using the APCC log zipper, I wasn't aware that it existed.

Andy, Are you sure you have the correct log file? I don’t see any of the tracking rate debug output. In fact, the log indicates there is no tracking rate correction. And can you please use the

Here are my most recent logs. I tried move axis with NINA and tracking corrections enabled in APCC. I pushed each direction button for about 15 seconds. The move axis speed was set to 3 degrees per

Certainly a good data point. Thanks Brent. NINA's polar alignment plugin uses MoveAxis() because it's the only way to move a specific axis of the mount without another axis also moving by some

If this is helpful to the conversation, I have done extensive testing with APCC 1.9 with my Mach2 using the Moveaxis command with software I am working on. My software is satellite tracking at

Hi All, Per our recent discussions, I had a chance to image last night under fair to good seeing (3 out of 5 to 4 out of 5 on Clear Sky Chart). I'm doing 20 minute exposures, in this case M13, to test

The APCC log you provided does not include any moves with tracking correction enabled. So, please redo the test with tracking correction enabled and provide logs for both APCC and ASCOM. You do not

Interesting and thanks Roland. Jeff
