Awesome, thanks George and Wade!

Yeah, it's some pretty nice gear. Apparently it had some sort of imaging setup back when it was originally installed, but everything imaging-related got destroyed by rain or is otherwise unusable, so

Dale, Yes, the RAPAS will fit into all 1600 mounts. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone:  815-222-6538 (direct line) Phone:  815-282-1513 (office) Email: 

I have a very early AP1600 and my RAPAS works great with it. I think that you will be fine. In the worst case scenario. if RAPAS doesn't fit (it will), 30 minutes with PEMPro would get

That's quite some gear for visual use! Just another option that comes to mind: drop a small camera (guide camera like asi290, asi174, or any camera with a 1.25" or 2" nosepiece) into the diagonal and

I was contacted by a local school asking for help in getting their 1600GTO balanced and PA'd. It's being put back into commission for visual use by faculty after sitting unused for quite a long time,

Todd, I traditionally use an inexpensive Dell laptop and a USB hub to acquire data for my pics. However, it is usually cold in my dome at 8500 ft. of elevation, and 100 ft. away I have a heated room

I truly appreciate a lot of advice. To be honest, I almost stop considering to use 1100, and was looking for another mount, but I am getting more confident to use 1100 with transportation. I also

I just discovered the S&T video of Dennis DiCicco interviewing Roland at the 2016 NEAF on the subject mainly of the 1600GTO mount, which I’m scheduled to receive in February. I never fully realized

Not identical, but similar – are you familiar with the Advanced Telescope Systems tripod/portable pier? https://www.advancedtelescope.com/portable.php

Hi folks: Everytime I see the Eagle tripod, I think: “I wish the folks at AP made a 8” version for the 1100”. I know I would pick one up. Any thoughts? i love the look and design of the Eagle :)

I keep my CP5 powered separately from my other gear. With the Mach2 it is obvious that it is intended to be powered separately, but even with other mounts Roland suggests a separate power source. I

Sorry for not responding earlier. I had great success. I copied the data when the ephemeris is generated in its entirety. Also, you can do the “download results” and Select All (cntrl A) and

Wade, You are right. My problem is connecting to an AP1100 CP3, and SBIG STL11000, a Feather Touch focuser hub, and possible one other. None of these have barrel connectors for dc input. Still, you

I don't know that it would make sense for Pegasus to do that. If they shipped the units with only open ended connectors, then 100% of users would need to make their own cables. By

Wade, Thank you so much for the detailed response. You have solved my immediate problem and one that I didn't even think of. The people at Pegasus Astro must know that one end of the power cables

This is really the most straightforward solution. With $100-150 USD from Powerwerx/Amazon you can get a bunch of pigtails in various configurations, a powerpole crimper and connectors (get the real

I make my own power cables. The first thing that I do with any device that comes with a "wall wart" or cigarette lighter plug, is to cut off the end that plugs into the wall or the

I see that you are using a Pegasus Astro Ultimate Power Box. I just received a Power Box Advance today and the four dc power cords are useless. They assume that the ends that connect to your

Hi, I'm seeing this happen more and more frequently (several times last night, for example): everything seems to be working, and then all of the applications that connect to the mount (NINA, PHD2,
