Thanks Roland. A power glitch might be possible as I have just switched to everything tied to a single power supply instead of having the mount on its own supply. It's a Powerwerx 30 amp supply

Tom, You are not alone in stumbling over that issue in selecting "Astro-Physics mount" instead of "Ascom mount" with TheSkyX. One of many not-so-obvious quirks in astrophotography. Lee

There are no installation logs and I never heard of anyone having the Eltima product ask for a license. I wonder if the installer has been corrupted. Try this: 1. Uninstall APCC from the

Yes, you can torque them down. Lock them actually. Roland

Thanks for the help, Ray and Roland. I have the clutches tightened as tight as I can get them with my fingers, but I will try to put an allen wrench on them and really torque them down, as I think

Hello Ray, Thank you so much for your reply. I checked the add-remove-programs and did not find any software installed by Eltima Software. The APCC comes up once I go past the registration, but

Kalpesh, Also, please make sure you are installing the latest released APCC Pro version (1.9.0.11). Here is the direct

Hi Kalpesh, There is no such code you should need to enter with APCC. If you manually downloaded and installed any Eltima software product, you must uninstall it from your computer. -Ray

Hello, I have been using the APCC to control the AP1100 for a while, my laptop had some issues. I am trying to install the APPC Pro again, but it is asking me for the registration code for Virtual

I just finished my next trial where I went back to the standard APCC - AP-V2 Driver - MaxIm configuration where I experienced the problem in the first place. The only difference is that I have not yet

Without digging thru logs, no way to deduce anything. i doubt that the mount would stop on its own unless there was a power glitch or low battery. Rolando

I agree that the mount stopping could explain what I saw. The only commands being sent to the mount were from PHD2.

If you move the 1100 manually with clutches loose, then you have lost the alignment. The encoders do not respond to clutch movements, neither do they respond to you setting the scopes at right angles

Hi Lee, Assuming the bump caused a clutch slip, homing won't help. Except for the Mach2, the encoder doesn't know the mount position if you move the scope via the clutches. But to answer your

OK, a variation on the same theme for my AP1100 with absolute encoders. I was happily imaging on Arp273, even using the pointing and tracking model that I had made just for that declination (I used

Yes, that is what I have been using. Maxim won't update after a slew. The only difference is that i always have a camera and guider connected. So, maybe I will try using Maxim as you did, without

Hi Roland Yes I did. I did two separate slews to objects that I selected from the Catalog tab in the MaxIm DL Observatory Control window. I also parked and then un-parked the mount from MaxIm and in

If the mount stopped tracking the stars will run across your chip at 15 arc sec per second. Maybe the mount didn't run away, just stopped tracking due to any number of external commands. Roland

Thanks Ray. Will give it a try tonight.

No model being used. Encoders on.
