Wow, that looks great! Rich colors and a nice sense of depth.

I got a lot of data for this M31 shot. I took 4 hours of OSC, 20 min of OSC 30 second for the core, 3 hours of RGB, 5.5 hours of Luminosity and 2 hours of Ha. I used my ASI2600MC for OSC and

I had/have the same issue with my Mach2. Roland sent me some APCC commands to help dampen the encoders. It affected both axes for me. I thought it was totally solved but have since seen some

Here’s the video of the oscillation in RA. It’s kinda short. I’d like to acquire more data/info for troubleshooting. https://vimeo.com/643273134 Btw… this Mach2 is unguided. In this case

I have the same issue. I found if I slightly imbalance the RA (move counterweights down) the problem is mitigated. Also fwiw I’m using a 12” SCT which I think is just at the limit of the

The latest beta version of APCC allows to set a time window for the flip so that SGP can run it without conflict between the two. Personally I have not tested it, I am waiting for the final version

Last night while setting up my telescope for Astro photography I noticed, while trying to calibrate PhD 2, I noticed the stars were short dashes in the east west axis. I had started the telescope up

That is an interesting addition to the NINA Plugin. The Ground Control plugin with PushOver support is great too. Thanks Dale! If I have a "single target night", I might use that instead of generating

I have struggled with this a great deal as well. This may not the best configuration for your circumstance, but the following screenshots of APCC and SGPro settings work reliably for me now. I could

Thanks for the report of your experience, Clif. It certainly supports Nick Iversen’s suggestion of a wooden pier, and would greatly simplify things as well as drastically lower the cost. A wooden

Thanks

I have a pier in my observatory that was installed in 2001. It consists of four 6 ft long 4x4’s of pressure treated yellow pine posts fastened together with timber-lock screws and liquid nails to

Hi Tom, The exact same thing happened to me this morning. My mount is in a remote observatory, so I can't just step outside and reset Park 3 using the clutches. I followed the procedure Ray outlined

I don't have any experience with pole piers. But for a Mach1 and 130mm refractor I can't image them flexing much. I should go and observe some telephone poles in the wind. But vibration - why do you

I have yet to program a successful auto meridian flip with SGP. Should APCC meridian be set to execute a flip? What should the telescope settings in SGP be? An ancillary problem is that if PHD2

I was imaging until 3 am this morning and if course the time changed back to Eastern standard Time. I then did a Park 3 and the mount is clearly one hour off. So how does one correct for this? Do I

Ack! I didn't realize that imgur reduced the video resolution to potato mode. Here's a better view: https://youtu.be/OoJCp6sZhuo

I meant to get this rolling sooner, but life threw me a curveball last month. Thanks to Ray's additions to the upcoming APCC Pro 1.9.1.x, there's now an easy way to programmatically feed model
