For your 900 GTO mount the V2 chip is not required. You could do with the V chip. Even the V1 is not needed either. Both the V1 & V2 are for encoder mounts. Your 900 GTO is not capable of having

Michael send those monsoons over this way to deep southern Texas; only 1 day of rain since the end of July & no break from the endless heat blast 😳 Fernando

I've been dead in the water for a few weeks after my 900GTO and scope was rained on. I thought that the mount was ok, but it turns out I am having issues with the CP4. I have to send it in to AP for

Ok, I’ll run it through it’s paces. I won’t know about good stars until,( which I normally don’t have to say being in the SW but those monsoons have been relentless lately, it’s good for the

......but..... First things first....I approve of being an Astronut! What a difference a letter makes but its close proximity so I wont complain! I will be receiving my second hand Mach1 shortly and

I would not do anything at first. Set it up and run it to see how it operates. Find out if it slews and tracks properly. After that you might re-grease the gears and in the process adjust the worm

Hi Before I get fully configured on my new “used” mount. What maintenance should I do? It’s 5 years old housed in a ROR that probably was in year round temperatures extremes seen at 4000 ft

I had the save problem a year or so ago. A-P said to make sure you accept the cookies or that function won’t work. I just checked and the notification field is visible on my browser. Eric

The Mach2 order and notification to place an order buttons are not showing for this item at the A-P website. Is the Mach2 not available to order or to get a notification to order at this time?

Given the information you've provided I dug a bit further into APCC-Pro. I know there have been a lot of discussion about smart meridian flips with SGP and several more with NINA but I haven't seen a

Mike, I got it to work on my mount and there are a couple differences between your setup and mine mainly I unchecked the boxes for Counterweight Up Slews within East and West Limit boxes. I also have

Hi Mikey, It sounds like NINA should have initiated a pier flip, but there may be a good reason it didn't. I don't know if Dale always reads this forum, so maybe you could post this information to

Hi Geoff, If you are not using APCC Pro with a pointing model, then you can recalibrate from the keypad, APCC, a planetarium program, and most astronomy imaging software. If you are using APCC Pro

Thanks, Roland! Glenn

I think that the standard protocol has always been to charge whatever the price is when you receive your notification and not when you put your name on the notification list. Having said that, are

The new price applies for all orders dated 9/24/21 and after. Karen AP

Hi Geoff You and I are essentially at the same point with APCC. I told myself that I was going to force myself to start using it. I read somewhere that commands through the keypad will override APCC

What price applies if you were already on the list? Frank

Just today I was using Horizons and went to JPL Website to download Ephemeris. I did both the text file download and the data and the format looks a bit different. Note, the website looks different
