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

Do we have a difference in format. Let's start with your first case, where for RA you had almost identical values except the fits header. You showed a conversion of 23.461914 to 23:27:42.89 but

And since I’m shooting M74 tonight APCC. 01:37:53.04. 15:47:03.44 Image fits header 24:10:26.76. 15:47:14.64 PI image solver 01:36 : 41.067. 15: 47:

Thanks, Ray! You said "Regarding the 70 Mpix image not loading, I assume you are using the camera’s ASCOM Camera driver? There are some VERY inefficient ASCOM drivers that require over 1 GB of ram

Thanks Linwood So I reset park position 3 then used NINA Framing to sleep and center on M 33. I then RA/Dec values from ASCOM, APCC, NINA->Equipment->Telescope RA/Dec, NINA plate-solve routine, the

This can happen when messages are getting queued up and cannot be sent out to the mount. Does this not happen when you disconnect from the ASCOM conditions hub? -Ray

Nice. Thanks for the comments Mark. Let me/us know when you put a longer package on the 1100. Myself I'm working with a new Stowaway on an old G11 Digital mount and waiting until I can swing an

I have no idea what this error means. I just changed my weather monitoring from using ASCOM Conditions Hub using a combination of Pegasus Sensors and API's to using a Lunatico Rain Sensor which has

Hi Howard, The button rates for directional buttons are minor and not terribly an issue for me. I have a bit of OCD and I always like to install the latest and greatest software/firmware. :-) I cannot

Please disregard my previous message. After trying it out, It seems your IP configuration is correct. Sorry for any confusion. That said, once you have joined the GTOCP4_NET_XXX, can you ping the
