>>Thanks Ray. Do I need to point it to a target while doing Plate Solve and Recal? yes - and (my personal advice) it's better near the zenith. Avoid plate solve near the poles -- Brian Brian

Thanks Ray. Do I need to point it to a target while doing Plate Solve and Recal? Shailesh

Hi Tom, I have a 294 pt model and had SGP slew to Veil Nebula but it missed by a few degrees, and I have a FSQ106 with a FL of 530mm, pretty wide. I am disappointed. Shailesh

Or set the computer to set its clock automatically from a network time server. Recent versions of Windows do this automatically, or you can use a third-party application like Dimension 4

Nick, the AP mount (at least my Mach 2) does not get the time from a GPS. APCC initializes the mount with the computer time. So we would need a GPS connected to the computer to set the computer time

No. Try clicking the "Plate Solve and Recal" button in APPM. This should resync your mount to the model. -Ray

Hi Nick, You can see the mount's time on APCC's Site tab. Is this what you are requesting? -Ray

Something is off. I just finished my model tonight, and I do not have encoders. I skewed all over the sky using Voyager and the worse case deviation from perfect was 3 arc seconds. Yes 3!

This would be interesting, as would the ability to set the computer time from a GPS connected to APCC. I think that the problem is that you need admin rights to set the computer time.

Nice shot Carl. I'm going to try that! Steve

I use 1/4" hardware cloth and also finer mesh where the hardware cloth is impractical. It seals my house sills and trim against the foundation. My observatory (on posts) has mesh covering the

Q1: If after creating a model, if I configure HOME (I have AP1100 with AE), does it nullify the model? Q2: With a large APPM model, is the RA/DEC as entered in Sequence Generator Pro expected to be

APCC feature request - Get time from mount. We can get latitude and longitude from the mount, time is useful too. This is for people who run PCs that are not connected to a network but are connected

Steve, Yup. I agree with everything you said. The super thin copper “Mouse-Mesh” is the only way I’ve found to keep them out of things. And then I set electronic mouse traps – the ones

Beautiful shot Glenn. The bicolor works. Steve

Myth. Mice really don't care about perfumy odors, or any other as far as I can tell. They also don't mind living in close proximity to rotting fellow dead mice. I have a blueberry farm and with

Thanks, all. Very helpful. I believe my outdoor outlet is already GFCI protected but will perform a test to confirm before plugging anything in. Best, Aaron

Go to optics?

That was my thought with a missing "o". Maybe it sounds cool and a reference to many automobiles called "GTO". Peter
