Quite the setup. The Mach 2 is an amazingly good performer even under significant load. I personally think it's the best encoder mount on the market in it's price range and it's not even close. Would

Mike, It is always best to tie off the cables to support them. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics 11250 Forest Hills Road Machesney Park, IL 61115 Phone:

Yes, 10 F6.3 Mak-Cass, QSI-WSG8, 130GTX, QuadTT, and ZWO 2600 Cmos. Along with several dovetail plates, etc. Rolando

Hi Roland I don't have any ringing with my setup but I was wondering if having those cable bundles just hanging off the back of the cameras in your setup can cause guiding issues with non-AE mounts.

That's awesome. I have not had any problems with my 12.5" iDK and PL16803 on the Mach 2. I did not try adding a GTX on top though. I would not have enough counterweights to safely do that though. Is

It worked!! Yahoo! Thank you so very much. Now, if I can just remember what I did! Jim Get Outlook for iOS

In Photoshop, open the “Help” Menu at the top all the way to the right. Type in “Channel”, press Enter and click on “Channel.” You will have all kinds of options on how to set up your

First question; Yes it works even with horrible orthogonality. This question is quite easy: The parks are governed by the time you have set in the keypad (or your laptop). If you are off by 1 hour,

Hi, Again. I see a typo in my first post. The mount is a Mach2, of course, rather than a Mack2 -- although it seems as a stable and robust as a Mack truck. I have a related question about

Hi Just got my ap1100 and am wondering where the instructions for the junction box are? I still am missing two boxes which will be delivered tomorrow. Is it in there? Thanks, Tom

Hi John, Here’s a photo of the setup. Just need to reach focus with one of the long AP extensions and the camera fully inserted into the 1.25 in eyepiece holder. Please show us your results.

Hi, I have a question about Roland's Quick Star Drift Alignment Method as documented in the Mack2 User manual. (Appendix C on Page 41.) I tried it out the other night and all seemed to go pretty

Hi Jim, I just got this camera and looking for the spacing (extenders etc) for my 130 EDF with the 5x Powermate or the 4x Powermate. Thanks John

Shailesh it sounds to me like you may have a permissions problem? i was able to open the program data folder and change a file name without issue -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio

Brian and Bryan, Thank you for your response. Oddly enough in Win10 the C:\Program Data folder is hidden. Plus you have to rename or copy it to the file name of your choice, and interestingly you can
