Hi Mike, Well that’s a good question! I checked with our master mount maker Dave and he had to look at the one 800 mount we have here. Like you, he could not find a serial number. I checked

Hi Ray. Thanks for the feedback. Good info on SGPro v4 allowing negative values. Also, your point about allow CW UP Slews is a good one. I think Luca made the same suggestion above. I am always

Really nice! I live in a suburban neighborhood not far from open space on the San Francisco peninsula and we've got a variety of critters around including lots of deer. The other night I was pulling

Wow! Very nice!! Get Outlook for iOS

You have basically a permanent setup and I believe you are missing a fundamental fact about the mount CP4 controller. The fact is that the controller always knows where the mount is pointed, even

Hello, Seeing the emails about critters prompted me to send the photo of the critter that strolled by last night . The image was captured on my game camera. The mountain lion is approximately 100 feet

You know….I thought about being more accurate with my description….hahaha Tom -- CN: HasAnyoneSeenMyNeblua

The mount and pier are on a motorized dolly. The dolly moves about 20-30 ft. I have not taken the setup apart yet but in the future, yes, it will be disassembled and substantially moved. I think

Do the old 800 mounts have serial numbers ? If so where do I find it ? I have an old 800 mount that I bought in 1992 that I am thinking about selling to help pay for absolute encoders when they become

Hi Andrew, Negative values will work if you are using SGPro V4, or an up-to-date SGPro V3. BTW, I noticed your screenshot has meridian limits off and counterweight up slews to West unchecked. You

Let me ask you a more fundamental question. Do you have a fixed setup where you do not remove the scope from the mount after each session? Roland

Update: I just realize that my SGP screeenshot show Minutes Past Meridian to Flip is set to 5, which conflict with the Homing Limit of 2.0 Mins from Meridian. SGP use to be set to 0 Mins Past Meridian

Hi. I am following this topic with great interest. I have also had issues with consistent Pier Flips when using SGP with APCC with my Mach1 and a TEC140. In my previous setup, I had very narrow

Of course you can't "achieve" all the Park positions (1-4) simultaneously. You can only put a mount in one park position at a time. Otherwise the mount would need to be in 4 places at once, which

Thanks Luca. I have tried the #1 and #2 approach and still have had issues. But I think the key difference is using the Telescope Sync Behavior setting Sync. I have been using Target Offset and I

Here is a picture of the alignment marks on the 1100 mount. This mount was purchased in February, 2017. FYI, those "setting circle" marks were done by hand. The mount did not come with them. As for

I set Telescope Sync behavior to Sync, which is translated to Recal by APCC. Ray can comment further but I believe this should be ok also when running an APPM model. It just tells the mount where it
