Very oval stars with excellent guiding - how?

I have a TEC 140 refractor on a 1100GTO with encoders on a permanent pier. I ran a 378 point model, and am getting excellent guiding with SGP and PHD2; mostly +/- 0.25 pixels, but getting very oval

DOVELM162 on Mach2

I’ve been swapping saddles around and installing a DOVELM162 on the Mach2 today. Of course, finding the correct bolts is a bit of a challenge.

Re: Windows 11

Everything has worked fine for me so far. I did the upgrade from from 10 to 11 using the Software Update in Windows.

Re: Setting a Fixed DHCP Lease to a Mach1

Hi Jerry, APCC does not control the IP address settings of your mount. The best way is to log back into your router and make sure it is assigning a *static* IP address to the mount. -Ray

Re: Setting a Fixed DHCP Lease to a Mach1

The CP4 has wired and wireless Internet ports and each has its own unique MAC address and each will get it's own DHCP IP assignment. I hope that helps. "Always take the high road. There's less

Setting a Fixed DHCP Lease to a Mach1

Hi, Am using APCC latest version and for the life of me cannot get the system to accept a fixed DHCP lease for its TCP connection. I set it on my router with the right MAC address but almost at

Re: Windows 11

I bought a mini pc which came preinstalled with Win 11. I had no intention of trying it prior to that, but absolutely everything astro related works with no issues whatsoever. I can see no advantage

Re: Forgot to Park last night

Loosen the clutches, send it to Park3, let it go where it wants. Then move it manually to Park3. That's it. Rolando

Linwood, Thanks. The video I found was made by Dale Ghent. That is why I was interested in using NINA to do the APPM . Yours truly, Jack Jack Huerkamp Jack's Astro Accessories,

Re: APCC - APPM and NINA

For those of us who do not have a permanent observatory (or in my case a semipermanent) the ability to have NINA automate the Dec arc model is fabulous.

Re: APCC - APPM and NINA

The NINA plugin is meant to simplify setting the parameters to build an APPM model. It is really handy for building an Arc Dec model based on the target programmed in the sequence. The Arc Dec model
