On the 1100AE the read head connection to the motor box will prevent you from installing the Polemaster camera onto the adapter.

No, not the Sun’s gravitation. That would affect all parts of the comet equally, at least to a first approximation. Tails and anti-tails obey the laws of celestial mechanics, after the particles

Here is a picture of the adapter attached to my 1100.

Reporting back. I am not sure which program threw me off the park 3. I think it happened right after I used Horizons, but it could be The SkyX. Nonetheless, I used the ASCOM driver's NSEW buttons to

Kirby, Intriguing but looks like the anti tail is perhaps due to the gravitational pull of the sun. How did you use Horizons and SGP for this capture? Shailesh

Hi Chris No dew control, remember Chile is one of the driest places, although apparently not. Also fwiw I do have a flip flat on that refractor. I don't think there's a easy one-size-fits-all answer.

>>> If I go to settings on top of APCC and go down to edit Ascom. I do not see the same menu settings as you see. Is there somewhere else to edit Ascom driver? Best Peter you are in the edit ascom

I would add that my flip flap always has a gap, so Chris is correct in being concerned about that. However, I do think that it is very easy to control this by the application of some sort of weather

Chris, I use the Flip Flat on my FSQ based in Australia. Operation has been flawless for years, and it keeps the dust out when stowed. Bias and flats are taken on cloudy nights as it is not 100%

Geof, It would be a shame to miss use of your mount until May for want of a battery. The process of transferring the pigtail is really quite easy and ideal for international customers. I suggest

Andrew The PM-AP900 does fit the 1100 I have one on my mount. It screws into the polar alignment hole. There is a picture of a Mach 2 on the AP website that shows it installed on the mach2 of

hmmm... I also see the edge of this guiding graph that seems to indicate guiding went off the rails. Can you post a guidelog for this? i'm wondering if the calibration did not work correctly, or

The photo with the actual error in it unfortunately has the full text of the error cut off, but it seems like you ran into a dither settle time exceeded warning? This indicates that PHD2 was not able

The ASTAP plate solve is then failing because the RA and Dec that it is being hinted with, which is taken from what the ASCOM driver reports, is outside the search radius of ASTAP when it compares

Does anyone know if this adapter QH-PM-AP900A fits the 1100GTO-AEL? I am currently using the dovetail adapter that Bruce Donzanti showed in his photo. If here was an adapter that fit 1100 without any

Please post updates on this, as my mount also guides like an ekg on arritmia close to zenith . Not to mention once it get close to 30°

Timely Brian, as I am in the process of putting together a setup to deploy to NM. Thank you for putting your thoughts together on this. I found it to be an informative read! One question I have

Thanks Brian. I noticed that your screen shot that you have GTOCP4. I have GTOCP5. I can not find where you would go. If I go to settings on top of APCC and go down to edit Ascom. I do not see the

I hadn't heard of anti-tails before. Thanks! -- Kirby Collins astrobin: https://www.astrobin.com/users/kirbycollins80
