Yes, it requires windows. And virtually all capture software options (SGP, NINA, Voyager, etc) as well. Your best option as a Mac user is to get a cheap laptop pc or a NUC for capture and then

Am I correct that APCC requires Windows? —howard

Well, since the big announcement wasnt a newly designed 400GTO... I decided to try and find an old one! It's on its way and will arrive early next week. I also picked up a CP3v2 so I can use APPC with

Hi Brian I am not sure what to think. As near as I can tell, the total drift that I measured over the 5 hour continuously guided session was constant. If I assume this to be the case, then I think I

Hi Roland, I get what you are saying, but your demonstration is not like the user’s setup. For instance, the original poster used two telescopes. To approximate the poster’s setup, you

I usually let it drift 10 minutes for each point, then center the star and press Enter. Focal length was 870mm, pixel size 3.76 microns, plate scale 0.89 arc sec/pixel. Seeing was average, later on

It makes absolutely no difference if you guide or model. The drift rate of the star is exactly the same in either case. Roland

Roland that is very illuminating Just to clarify, it sounds like you did not use guiding but did use the modeling for accurate tracking, correct? -- Brian Brian Valente astro portfolio

Below shows a short session where I used a simple Keypad Dec arc model to keep the star (Arcturus) on the crosshairs of my imaging camera. The keypad reads out the RA and Dec trim rate that is applied

Hi everyone, since yesterday I am a happy owner of an AP900 with CP4 upgrade. What a beautiful an impressive mount! Coming from a Skywatcher AZ-EQ6 driven by an ASIAIR using EQMOD, I tried to use

Roland, I sent you a private email, but when auto-guiding, the guide star is usually not far from the area being imaged, so the guide star is *also* refracted. Thus the only refraction effect is the

Mike are your stars not round? I was under the impression you just had some shift in your images-- Brian Brian Valente astro portfolio
