Check your keypad time setting. It has to be the same as your computer time if you are going to switch back and forth between the two. Roland

Nope. Makes no difference how you park it. Mach 2 ALWAYS parks the scope at the correct gear angle determined internally via the two absolute encoders. Doesn't matter where the park command comes

Last night from Voyager, I did a move to the zenith and stopped tracking so I could do flats. When they were finished I attempted to park the scope. It reported it was parked. My usual location is

Correction: the mount is at *park3* right now (moved it with the keypad to do my flats this morning). Re-attached screenshot, so you can see in decent resolution. Maybe that is the issue (re-parking

Hi Roland, Thanks for your reply. My computer is permanently connected to Internet and time is correct. One important thing I omitted in my previous message is that, at the time I park the mount, the

The Mach2 mount always parks the actual telescope at the same gear angle - that is controlled by the internal encoders. The parks are independent of time or hour angle. Same with Home. APCC

Hi, When I use the 3D viewer in APPC (which is a great feature), it seems to get de-synchronized from the mount position sometimes. Like in the example below where the mount was parked at park 2 at

Hi Howard, I use the MGBOX2 and I do not shut it down, cause I use the temperature humidity and pressure information in APCC! Konstantin Konstantin v. Poschinger Hammerichstr. 5 22605

Neither the MGBox app, nor APCC, update the computer clock. I'm not sure what you mean by "they are both timed exactly". APCC does (by default) update the mount's time from the computer

Yes, COM port access is exclusive to one application at a time. There are systems such as the free com0com and commercial Eltima (which is what APCC uses) that can sit on top of a COM port and

MGBOX is a cool little piece of hardware. The only issue for me is a tendency to "steal" USB ports (COM ports). I need to remember to add it at the end otherwise I run into issues with APCC. Probably

Besides GPS coords., MGBOX also provides T, P, and RH. APPC Pro uses this data for adjusting the APPM generated model Bryan

I also have the MGBOX2 and APPC Pro does show the UTC time from the box. What I don't know for sure if APPC uses that time to update the computer system clock. It looks to me like it does because

MGBox V2 has ascom drivers for connecting to the device, including GPS the OP was talking about a need for getting PC time accurate, and while i love my MGBox v2, it's a lot more than a $18 GPS for

Thank you, Howard, I’ll talk to you soon. Kind regards, Glenn

I forgot to mention, that you should use the MGbox V2 ASCOM Local Server! https://www.astromi.ch/downloads/ Konstantin Konstantin v. Poschinger Hammerichstr. 5 22605 Hamburg 040/8805747 0171 1983476

FYI I have an MGBOX2. APCC Pro accesses it directly, not through the MGBOX2 app, AND automatically. See GPS Tab, Connection section. Bryan

I'm sure this can be fixed quickly. Give me a call at AP and we'll get it figured out.

Greetings A-P family, I am trying to use APCC pro with my automated imaging system after using the V2 driver successfully for a few years. I get the Warning: RA limit reached error when connecting to
