Fernando, I fid find this on AP website: The Astro-Physics Command Center (APCC) requires either the CP4 control box or the CP3 control box with the V2 chip installed. So it would seem I'm looking

I’ve been enjoying all your submissions of what GTO stands for. The truth is, it’s a shortening of GoTo, and a nod to some very cool cars. We have a bunch of car geeks among the Astro-Folk and

My understanding is that using any CP3 with APCC standard or pro, a V2 chip is required, regardless of mount model. "My advice is always free and worth every penny!" -Christopher Erickson Observatory

Very kind of you to offer though Steve!

Hmmm... I though the V2 chip was needed for APCCPro Modeling. Maybe I'm wrong, and if thats the case I guess any of the "V" chips would work.

Ooops..never mind, I was thinking handbox!!!! Sorry. Steve

Chris, I could send you mine as a loaner. I don't want to sell it, although I almost never use it. Steve

The V chip is required for APCC I believe.

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
