Hi Suresh, I am using USB cable from USB port of CP4 to PC's USB port via powered USB hub . Device Manager says this port was assigned to COM 3 port. Peter

Peter , I did that two years ago had hell , I’m trying to recall how I finally did it. If im not mistaken it was a cable issue . How do u connect to the pc ? Suresh

Hello, I've been trying to upload Keypad version 4.19.5 firmware to my Keypad that was previously version 4.19.3 but no success yet. The first two times I tried to upload Keypad version 4.19.5 to my

Mike, Thanks again. The method worked perfectly. I have been using this feature of the V5 Keypad since I set up anew each night for the most part and found that my cone error changed slightly night

John, I used to use Platesolve 2 all the time as well, but switched to ASTAP. It’s free, is WAY faster at solving, and just seems to work better. You should give it a look and try it. Plus, I

This should be mentioned in A-P manuals either in Mach2 or Keypad documentations. This is useful information. Peter

All, If anyone has a 900 or 1200 mount and perhaps other older GTO mounts, AP is offering an Electro-Static Discharge board to be installed in the motor-gearbox assemblies. The Dec motor on my 900

Last night, my new AP1100 (base) peformed great on very windy night. I got the AP1100 a couple of weeks ago, and I am very early on the learning curve. Per George's recommendation, I have yet to try

Hi Steve, It doesn't work that way. The mount's flip point is controlled by the meridian delay set in the mount. The cause of the flip failure is probably a time discrepancy between the mount's

Disabling the LAN-WLAN switching setting in BIOS did not fix the issue. Since this is a convenience issue only, I do not babysit outside in the cold, and having other things to do, I will leave this

Hi John, APPM steers its own instance of the platesolver you have configured, so its not using NINA as a "proxy" similarly to what it does with the "camera" function or even with the SGP platesolver

HI, I am attempting to learn NINA to try it out after using SGP for the past 8 years. I still like SGP but NINA (1.11) is looking more feature rich and I think I should at least try it out. I

I read in a recent discussion thread where Roland recommended that the minimum move in the guider settings should never be less than 0.3 seconds in either RA or DEC. I believe that the discussion was

Mike, Thanks! That makes perfect sense. It just never occurred to me to try that... John

Hi John, You don't need to capture a "good" ortho model to "erase" it. Just run the keypad procedure, but do NOT make any N-S-E-W centering corrections. This will produce an ortho model with zero

I learned there was a problem while I was learning PI PhotometricColorCalibration process and the tool kept failing on my M33 image. I resolved the coordinates and found my fits header’s RA and DEC

Hi AP folks, I have a follow up question related to a previous thread I started a few months back. (Interactions Between Keypad and APCC Orthogonality Models?) In that thread, Roland said "the

Hi Ray, >That's not going to work because you can't guarantee that SGPro won't issue a slew after the meridian. That's fine as this is exactly the expected and documented behavior for SGP: If the

Got a model built using ASTAP with Beta 1.9.1.3. Did not work at bin 2, but did work at bin 1 with min star at 1.0. Thanks Ray. BC
