I’ve always used a star that is within +/- 5º declination and within 30-60 minutes of the meridian, but I don’t know what the recommendations are for AP mounts. As of right now I would use the

Thank for sharing this Jeff! I’m planning on calling George tomorrow and get the updated chip for my CP3. I was wondering if the extraction tool come with the kit and you answered my question with

After doing a polar alignement with Polemaster and finalize the precision with NINA (three polar alignement) With SkySafari app, I never have the target that i point into my field Concerning alls

It seems to be working.... here's a pempro run after loading the new curve....

I'm going through this process at the moment. (As I type this, I'm waiting on PemPro to acquire PE data.) I haven't used PemPro in a while.. It turns out I had a PemPro v2 license some time ago, so

It's been a while since I've posted an image (weather, covid, other). This is one I took way back in 2018. It had a bad flare from a star just out of the field and after many on and off attempts

Perhaps someone on the group got their info hijacked or their account spoofed... Fernando

In regards to having an auto guider turned on so an AP mount can track a star for 7 to 8 minutes, for creating a new PE curve for loading- it does matter what part of the sky you choose to do this

How far off is it? Are you using the hand controller or something else to do the pointing? Are the time and daylight savings settings correct? Chip

Thanks Roland, you know maybe thats what I remember about the PEC part. I’ll give George a call on Monday and see about ordering the new V3 chip for my mount. Thanks! Dale

The keypad has a PE measuring method which will record one cycle and store it in the CP3 memory. You will need to have an autoguider running. First start the mount tracking a star and turn on your

Ok thanks Dale, much appreciated for that info! Boy I thought the AAPC software come with it but maybe I misunderstood when reading the information between the 2 version. I’ll have to do some more

APCC doesn’t do PEM, so you’ll have to get PEMPro for creating a new curve in any case. As for instructions, I have not seen them online but you can always try asking for them.

Sorry about the goof on the last reply, Thank you so much Dale, I don’t really need the CP4 so the chip seems to be the logical choice especially for $80. I would need to purchase APCC in order to

You could upgrade to a CP4, but you don't have to just for 999x slew speeds. The firmware of the CP3 is implemented as a ROM chip that you can pluck out and replace with a newer chip. The versions of

Hello, I have a new email address. Please make a note of the change from skywatchers@... to rbradperry@... Thank you, Brad Perry

Thanks for this information Ray. So I have to upgrade from CP3 to the CP4 chip in order for SC to follow thru to the AP Ascom driver settings then? Dale

Shane/Mike, The SlewSettleTime does not apply to MoveAxis() commands. It only applies to slews. MoveAxis uses the mounts RD and RR commands to set the move rate. Shane, if you want to be sure the

Thanks Roland.  I think I understand.  I was guess I didn't realize that I had a desired location using MoveAxis(); I just wanted the motor to run for 6 seconds and stop--didn't really matter where
