Re: Carrying case for Mach2
Michael,
If you mean sign up for notification, to this week it is about 3 years. But recall 2020 was pretty much washed out, so technically 2.something years

Re: My brand new AP1100 - play in both RA and DEC axis
Hello,You did not get this mount directly from us at Astro-Physics. We shipped this mount in February, and we never ship things loosely in the box, so whoever shipped it to you did not pack it

Hi Horia,
Please contact me at the AP office number: 815.282.1513 or via email at howard at astro-physics dot com.
That is not the way things ship from our factory. Were the packages damaged? Was

My brand new AP1100 - play in both RA and DEC axis
Today I got the chance to take my AP1100 mount out of the wrappings and set it up on the pier.
The altitude bar was completely loose inside the RA-axis box and managed to produce some deep scars

Re: Does your Mach2 setup look like this?
Always have to be able to change mounts and setups for testing issues that come up.

Re: Question: ROLAND’S GTO QUICK STAR DRIFT METHOD - 2020 VERSION
The 1100/1600 encoder mounts use the original park positions based on time. That's because the encoders are attached to the worm wheel, not the output shaft. There was no way to attach any encoders to

I was notified yesterday that my Mach2 is shipping this week. I am excited.

Re: Does your Mach2 setup look like this?
Here’s the Mach2 with the Meade12-ACF (this is an early version with the smooth glossy tube and the “RC” label). Also attached is a Clement focuser (kinda heavy) , Lumicon GEG with reducer

Re: Does your Mach2 setup look like this?
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
