Re: GTOCP4 Firmware Question
This problem was totally self-inflicted. When Wi-Fi didn't initialize I tried to turn it on using Wi-Fi tab in USB Utility, and when it appeared the update was not installing I shut down the program.

Mach1 rotated on pier - good idea?
I'm building a pier and I'm thinking of rotating the Mach1 so that it's not vertical anymore and the altitude angle is set at 70 degrees. That should give me more imaging without meridian flips. If I

Re: GTOCP4 Firmware Question
If you haven't seen the revision history, it's at:
https://www.astro-physics.info/tech_support/mounts/cp4-update/cp4-cp5-ver-hist.pdf
Your firmware version is quite behind.

GTOCP4 Firmware Question
The GTOCP4 on my Mach1 is currently at firmware version VCP4-P01-14. I was wondering if any Mach1 users had upgraded to the latest firmware and what benefits they felt it provided. Thanks.

Leaving the mount exposed to the sun on a daily basis will get any black anodized parts turn to a weird brown or purple "patina"
Have no idea what it will do to the off white paint; it will probably

Just more praises for the Mach2 and how quick and easy it is to setup and use. Thanks to everyone that makes this possible as it makes me smile each time I use it.
A couple nights ago I took the Mach2

So I tested the flip again this evening. This time I set long exposures on my camera to make sure the flip time would be within the exposure time range. NINA did what I expected. Since the next 20
