The telegizmos cover is inside out is it not? Silver on the outside to reflect sunlight.

Yes, SQM meters will not determine seeing. They determine the combination of transparency and light pollution levels. Has nothing to do with seeing.

Attaching the 175 refractor with dovetail is doing it the hard way. Unless you're a wrestler. I first attach the dovetail and rings to the mount and open the rings. Then I simply lift the tube into

Hi Roland.
Thank you for your feedback. I will get the screen shots with no guiding corrections after I let it run for 5 - 10 mins. Unfortunately, clouds have rolled in again and not expected to clear

Re: Two videos about the AP 175 F/8 refractor
Tony,
If I got it, when you leave the OTA it doesn’t flip because the center of mass is inside the dovetail base. If the OTA is bigger or the latitude higher is this something to check to avoid

Hi Andrew
In general it looks good, but I think the main limiter for you is your min move is set too high.
You are achieving about 0.5" RMS with DEC and RA nearly identical, and it turns out your min

AP 1100 part
I've lost the motor cable plug adapter retaining nut that holds it tight in the casing. When I plug in the cable in it moves inwards and wiggles. I was wondering how I would go about getting another

Re: Dec Arc APPM mode: any l best practices for field set up
Hi Max,
My guess is that there weren't enough points in each dec arc row near where you were trying to image. There should be at least 5 points, but more is better. A good rule of thumb is to use a

I am getting poor results so far with the Dec arc tracking model on my AP1100 and AP Honders 305 combo.
First I made an all sky tracking model using 250 points.
I checked the Dec arc box and did 10

I would like to see a screen shot of the RA and Dec with no guide corrections. That will tell what the baseline seeing is in your area. This is the minimum that you can expect and cannot be bettered
