Hi Tom, No, the Mount doesn’t need to be initialized. I was out with my 1100 with CP4 last night. I hadn’t used it for a while and had the same problem as you, SkySafari wouldn’t connect with

Hi Mark in my experience, that slight offset is normal and results from the more accurate axis positioning from the plate solving that happens with NINA (I use SGP and it's the same). Assuming the

A couple of weeks ago I received my new AP1100, and I am familiarizing myself with it. The only other mount I have had is a G11, which has a simple, straight-forward operation, with integrated levels

Hi David, I'm sure it's a false alarm by Kaspersky. All of the other utilities show it's

Thanks for checking Howard. That .101 is the address the CP4 gave to my Mac/iPad, indeed the .1 is for the CP4 itself. At one time I had both the iPad and the Mac connected, and the first one got .100

My Kaspersky Internet security is detecting malware in the latest download of Apccstandardlatest.exe and requiring a disinfect/restart of WIN10 Pro. UDS:trojan.win32.generic Questioning if this is an

Hi Bruce, Dale Ghent did a great writeup on using NINA with A-P mounts. If you haven't read this yet, please take a look: https://daleghent.com/nina-and-astro-physics-mounts If you do not desire to

Hi Marty, Since you mention TPoint, does that mean you have SkyX? If so, have you tried plate-solving any of your images with SkyX's image link? If needed, there is a much deeper stellar database

Hi Geoff, That part of the documentation could be better worded. "Slew" was meant to be a move either by button presses or setting the move rate to a fast speed in APCC or the ASCOM driver and just

Hi Brian, APPM can also use NINA, SGPro, SkyX, CCDSoftV5, and MaximDL to take images through their automation interfaces. -Ray

Hi Aygen, I'm glad that the new driver works in your setup! Thanks for letting us know! Best regards, -Ray

I've been using NINA to image with my AP1100 (no encoders) in my observatory. I connect NINA to the AP driver and everything is working fine. The only thing I have not done is to set up safety

I've tried four cameras, all coupled to a focal reducer. I've tried binning from 1x1 to 3x3. Sensor data (microns and arcminutes): Sensor 1: Pixel = 5.9 and FOV = 1.4x0.9; unbinned image scale = 0.40

You’re right, and I’m seeing that there’s a conversion factor I hadn’t take into account. Thanks for being persistent. Cheers

I'm sorry, somewhere in here I have gotten lost. Which number is 20+ degrees off. In all cases it looked to me like you did a conversion from decimal degrees to degrees/minutes/seconds when you

In the APCC documentation the following warning appears frequently: "The Meridian Limits, are primarily tracking limits in the west, and counterweight-up slewing guides for APCC's advanced slew logic

So I don’t have a way to grab an exact coordinate reading from three processes that run serial. So I don’t expect ASCOM, APCC, NINA Equipment->Telescope RA/DEC values to be all exact. Obviously
