Thanks for your suggestions, Mike. As for leaving electronics out in the observatory in all weather, I wasn’t planning to do that. However, what I didn’t mention is that my “observatory” is

Hi Howard My two cents worth on your concrete pillar: I would go 2 ft deep with the 24-inch diameter hole. Try to get as much rebar in the pillar as possible, and I would not isolate the 24-inch

I’ll do that, thanks. Howard

Leaving the mount powered on 24/7 or almost continuously means you need to consider surge protection such as in case of nearby lightning strikes. Fernando

Greetings from a new member of the group. I’m a longtime AP user, having owned a 155EDF on a 600E GEM since new probably 25 years ago. I apologize for the length of the post, but I need a couple of

It's not anything big to worry about. -Ray

Thanks Ray! That is a little worrisome.

"Slew warning" messages mean the mount did not reach the target coordinates within a tolerance. You could give A-P a call tomorrow, and they should be able to suggest some commands to tune your

Actually, as it continues it seems to be having the Slew Warning delay randomly occuring when positive Dec's as well.

I just installed the Beta version of APCC Pro, since I have had some issues with SGP Pier flips. Tonight I am running an APPM model. I was watching the progress and noticed something that I have not

Rick, I don't think this would cause the mount to be off by 90 degrees. Most likely the site location or time zone were different between the computers. That might happen if you loaded the settings

Hi Ray, I think I did that, but I will check. I was working initially on both computers and then, one day, it was off by 90 degrees on startup. But your comment that a model for each is best makes

Gee I will have to check that. Can't remember if I did.

Hi Rick, If there are two different telescopes involved, then you normally wouldn't want to use the same model for both. That said, just copying the model is insufficient to configure your second

Hi Rick When you load your model onto the new computer do you solve and recal? -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Hi All, I run 2 imaging systems on my AP1000AE and use 2 independent computers to run each system. I do this because I have had driver issues running both on the same computer. I built a pointing

Yep, pop-up no more. Sébastien

Voyager does not require 64 bits. Currently it's 32 bits but easily handles my QHY600M camera with a monster Sony IMX-455 sensor without issues. It's far more stable than SGP but can't say for

You should be able to test it indoors, no need to wait for clear sky. Peter

I'm not banned from the Voyager forun but will never ask for support again. Effectively I was banned from talking to him again because I sent clear logs with the problem I was facing and he started
