Hi Joe, Can you post a link to a zip file created via the APCC Log zipper utility that includes the APPM PNT file(s) as well as APCC, APPM, and AP V2 logs from last night? It sounds like the west

I am mostly an imaging person and now wanting to go visual; I just received a Mach2 and was wondering if I can load up my TEC 180 for visual. Any insights? Shailesh

Hi Andrew I appreciate the struggle! There are a lot of things to know and learn and understand how they relate to each other. You may also get a lot of conflicting advice on how to go about

I've still got a problem with NINA and APCC. Last night I created a relatively simple a sequence in the advanced sequencer (one filter, 5 minute subs for 3.5 hours then park the scope) and all went

Answering my own question. According to the mfg. the canvas is supposed to be on the outside, silver liner on the inside. go figure.

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

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

I will try again. Thanks
