Jim & Todd, Thanks for taking a look. Hopefully this won’t turn out to be my only opportunity this new moon cycle, but the forecast for next week isn’t promising. -- Dean Jacobsen Astrobin Image

So that means that binning 2x2 means that image downloads will be slower than 1x1. Unintuitive. probably not noticeable in practice because downloads are saved to disk and that's going to be faster

Hi everyone, I just updated my CP4 and keypad so that technically I can now use the Point+Track model. Since it is recommended that an external planetarium program be used to create the model, I'm

I just noticed in the P02-13 release notes[1] that the mDNS responder feature of the embedded OS is now put into use. This is great. Kudos to Mike Hanson, I would guess? mDNS refers to multicast DNS

Thanks for sharing that information it will be invaluable TJF Mobile

Hi I talked to Mike. Since this is a non encoder mount he doesn't have any ideas. Tom

Nice work, Dean. This looks great. Todd

What an amazing view. Look at all the stars!! JimP Get Outlook for iOS

Hi All, Was able to get out for a nice night under the stars. I captured a wide field shot (image radius of 3.67 degrees) using the Mach2 unguided with 120 second

Ça fait plaisir, Carl! 🙂 If you ever happen to design ones that would fit the back of the RA axis and the top Dec plate of the Mach2, please let me know (contact me privately), I'd buy them right

>>>In making an all sky model you presumably slew to lots of points, so the plate solves would presumably be blind. Or maybe I am wrong about that..... That's not exactly how it works ;) Very

Tom, I don't think this will solve the problem but you should upgrade to APCC Pro 1.9.4.3. Even if you do not have a subscription renewal there are bug fixes in that build. Unless Mike H from A-P

The conversion isn't done on the electrical signal level; it's done on the protocol level. Ethernet frames are encapsulated in USB packets on one end and decapsulated on the far end, back into

Hi Here you are. Hope its the right one. Tom

If you don’t have physical port constraints on the NUC, USB from the CP5 is going to work fine. It is 2.0 so the length limit is not a problem. As for your initial question about going Ethernet

Ok, but what I really want to know is: how do you use PinPoint to make APCC models? In making an all sky model you presumably slew to lots of points, so the plate solves would presumably be blind.
