Aygen, If you are using a desktop computer, I suggest you get a good serial-port add-in card and use that instead of USB as the backup port (and maybe consider it as the primary connection).

Peter, It sounds like the clock time on one of the devices (computers, hand controller, etc.) you are using may be off by 1 hour, which translates to 15 degrees in movement. You should double-check

The revision log for the GTOCP3 states that for V2: I have a CP3 with a V chip. Do I need to upgrade to the latest V2 chip to be able to track at increased speeds or will my V chip be able to cope if

Thank you, Ray, for your great support. I am currently reviewing my network in detail to see whether there is something to improve from my side. As of now, my mount is connected via TCP LAN + a

Dear Peter, Did you finally manage to find a solution to your Park problem ? Just asking since I had exactly the same "strange" behavior yesterday. Cheers, Aygen

Apparently, there are galaxies in the centre part of the Helix. Can someone point them out to me?

The mount has been going to Park 5 with CWs about 15° up after a session is finished. I had to install software on a different control computer. Formerly it returned to the perfectly horizontal park

Yes, probably. Try parking to Park 3 which should place the counterweight shaft pointing to the ground. If it is not, then manually adjust the mount so that it is in the Park 3 position. Also, I

Very well done! Gives the rest of us city imagers with severe light pollution something to strive for! Don

Hi Ray, Mmmh, seems are getting a bit complicated I must admit. And now, when parking to position 5, the CW are getting quite high !!!! What's happening ? Is is related to the "decimal" point that I

Hi Aygen, I'm going to assume that all of your astronomy applications are now using "." instead of a comma as a decimal point. If that is not the case, then you may need to change settings in

Good evening Ray, Thank you so much for your kind support, much appreciated. I did change the setting and it seems to be working now. However, another message occurred :( VPort 3 : Recal failed

Hi Peter, Park 5 should have the shaft relatively horizontal. So when you say that the "CW's up", do you mean that the CW shaft just slightly off from being horizontal, or do you mean the mount tries

Hi Aygen , I just got a chance to review your logs. The problem is the AP V2 ASCOM driver is trying to use a comma as a decimal point, which is producing invalid coordinates in some cases. I am not

Here is a look from the bottom:

A couple days ago I received my AP1100 mount with a LT2APM and 119FSA to mount on my Losmandy FHD tripod. Today, I am assembling the AP1100 on the FHD tripod and I noticed some problems, as the holes

I can't stop laughing along with having MORON written on my forehead. I just responded to you in Discord- that fixed the problem. Nepal did look interesting in Raiders of the Lost Ark :-).

My 1200 keeps returning to Park 5 with the CWs up. I reset the location time, which appears to be
