Hi Brett - I bought RASA 11 V2 in Oct and it mounts just fine on AP1100. No need to replace. Best Anant

You guys have too much energy! I'm going for the patina of age. Steve -- PLEASE NOTE MY NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!!! Due to Google eliminating cheap domain serving, Virginia and I are changing to regular

I am another Flitz user. Get the kit with buffing ball for electric drill: Amazon.com: Flitz PB 101-50 Buff Ball Car Buffer Drill Attachment with Self-Cooling Design That Never Scorches or Burns

Ethernet cables will not fit inside the hollow shaft of the mach2. The mount would have to grow bigger in size in order to fit another cable. This would make it as large as the 1100 mount. Roland

I've owned an AP600E GTO mount upgraded to CP3 for around 10 years and used it exclusively for close to 4 years as one of my first mounts. I still have this mount. I have used this mount to carry an

I’m the one who picked up the 600E QMD that I think was the source of this thread. (My third AP mount.) It will be carrying a 6”f9 scope (not my AP) that weighs about 35 lbs. It looks like new,

FWIW, I too would have liked the flexibility and reliability of an Ethernet connectivity on top of the Mach2 (in addition to the usb3) No to mention the advantages of connector reliability in cold

I will have a NUC, UPBv2, and a mini router up top, and remote in to the NUC via my pc inside. Sounds like the wifi is more than capable.

You can use the USB or WiFi to connect to the CP5 from the top of the mount. Roland

What is the CP5 communicating with on top of the mount? Normally the CP5 communicates with a laptop that sends GoTo coordinates from a planetarium program. It also communicates with APCC/APPM for

I just use a mini PC on the tripod leg. CP4/5 connects via Ethernet to the mini PC, and the usb3 connection runs to the mini PC. On top of the scope is my UPBV2 which distributes USB, power, and dew
