Yep, I was doing that test when the clouds attacked.

Re: Power supply question - Powerwerx SPS-30DM
I am a retired electrical engineer that worked for a power company. Some things to look as culprits:
-Too long DC runs or small gauge wire size. DC drops voltage off very quickly as either long runs

Re: #ASI_AIR_PLUS What should my expectations be with AP?

When AAP would start guiding it would nudge the mount, then nudge the mount, and nudge mount until it lost the guide star. I learned that in the hand controller to set;
Button rate 1x

I'm not an ASIAir user... however when I first got my Mach2 i would image without guiding. It seemed to work fine with the AP130GT.
I don't have an observatory, so I need to setup (nearly) nightly,

Last night I was able to do some tests, but the clouds interrupted the process.
As preliminary results this happens on the Ra axis. Also when testing with modeling off the stars are slightly less

Thanks, Im a long time fan of Maurice’s imaging.
So you had issues on cp3, Im wondering if all cp versions are dependent on an hc now.

Thanks Arvind, good to know that cp4 is working. The mount modeling is mainly beneficial if you want to avoid guiding correct?
Also Im wondering, do hou need the astrophysics hc at all to automate

Wes,
I can also confirm AAP works while not the greatest marriage. Took me a little fussing to get the guiding correct as those have to be set in the hand controller, but once set it works just fine

Re: Anyone using 13035FF Field Flattener with TEC140FL?
Wow that would be fantastic! I already have the QTCC and connection pieces to the focuser and would love to stay with AP Field Flattener if it would give good results. I'm using a QHY268M (APS-C)

Re: Anyone using 13035FF Field Flattener with TEC140FL?
I know people that used it with the ED version of the TEC140. I believe they used the same spacing called out for the Quad TCC and the TEC140 with good results.

Hi Wes, I've used ASIAIR Pro with CP4.
Modeling is not supported but regular mount use including parking (default park position), GoTo, sync etc were working reliably.
