The only problem with the decimal point adjustment is that I will not longer be able to use my automation software properly ! I will keep you posted as soon as I perform some test with a former

Good point. I did check and the last update was around August - so two month ago. I change lots of settings to minimize windows update... but as you mentioned, there are always some coming in.... and

Aygen, Your setup is behaving unexpectedly, so it is up to do what you need to get running. The problem seems to be with the ASCOM driver, not APCC. However, it is puzzling because this should be

Not to the best of my knowledge. I remember having upgraded about 3 weeks ago... I can try to install a former version just for sanity check... who knows ! The thing is I am also getting the same

I guess I should have used the word "tinker-wise" lol... I actually have the special grease kit and plan to do a re-grease at some point here after I've finished tinkering with scopes and cameras.

Good evening Ray, Honestly, I don't know why all of this is happening all of a sudden. I didn't change anything software / drivers wise. So, tomorrow I will install a former version (5.21.09 ?) and

Hi Aygen, You could go back to the old driver, but it's not clear to me why this version of the driver is not working, especially since you said it was working a few days back. Can you tell me what

Dear Ray, Dear All, I did apply thoroughly Ray's recommendation to adjust Windows regional setting to use "." as a decimal point rather than the "," that we have in Switzerland / Europe. Here are my

As for maintenance of an old legacy 900 GTO mount- no plans to re-grease the gears using the AP special grease kit 🤔 ??? Fernando

Responding to Scott, here are some photos of the tandem setup on my 900. The main saddle is a DOVELM162. The tandem plate is an SBD18SS, the C14 is on another DOVELM162, with a Losmandy C14 dovetail

I have a legacy mount, 900GTO and perhaps I've never pushed the equipment enough but I'm not sure how much more precision I could get that would even translate into better images. I purchased the

One thing I do is to set all of my astro-devices that have timing to UT with no DST. Observatory PC's, imaging PC's, hand controllers, etc. In observatories I like to have clocks showing LT, UT and

Very impressive photo. I think Roland made a great scope for him....but his processing skills are spectacular so lets give him the credit he deserves. 90 hours of imaging time over 3 years.....90

I don't usually use the hand controller, but it should be obvious how to set the time if you can get into the hand controller's settings menu. However, if APCC initialized the mount then the hand

Yes the hand controller is plugged in. The initialize window opens when APCC connects. How do I correct the time in the hand controller? Seems like it was ok before switching computers.
