I downloaded and installed the latest version of APCC PRO on my observatory computer and also installed ASTAP and the H18 database. Since it is raining and not predicted to clear for almost a week, I

Okay, is there anything that could interfere with LAN traffic on your network? Also, to what value do you have the network timeout configured in APCC? -Ray

Ray, I'm connected to the mount by ethernet cable. I've had the computer disconnect from the mount a couple times when I've moved it without holding the cables but it's a simple fix of restarting.

Hi Joe, Losing a connection to the mount sounds like a possible cable issue. How are you connecting to the mount? Via network, serial port, or USB port? I may have some time today to look at the

It looks like the episode I had with the meridian flip a couple nights ago possibly corrupted something in either APCC or the V2 driver. Last night I was trying to get the mount pointing in the

Ok, I finally got it working. In the telescope setup in the driver I had to deselect all the boxes and then select the com port that I wanted and hit ok, it would then save the com port. Thanks

I can connect to the mount by ethernet at 192.168.1.36 but the driver has 192.168.1.13 and it will not let me change it in the driver. Somehow I need to clear that ip address from the driver. Mike

Tom, Did the ascom driver act the same way that I have described , not letting you go back to a com port. Mike

Michael, I literally just had this problem…today. Try this: Go to command prompt Type: arp -a There is a space in there. Hit enter The list that comes up are all the IP addresses that your computer

Hello friends, It was finally time to bring the mount and telescope inside. The weather has been very poor. Rainy and very high humidity as of late. I finally pulled in the gear. It sat outside from

I have Ascom platform 6.1 SP1 in fact I just reinstalled, .Net 3.5 is enabled and .Net Framework 4.8 is installed. It seems that Ip address is latched and it will not let me get out. Can the CP5 be
