Hello everyone, I have made a small change on the transporter room to explainthe fix info for the setup3.exe to use the alt/az voice and display issuethe 'actual position voice command' and/or

I finally got a chance to get my 1200 goto up on my pier and now have a chance to pose some questions. The power supply cord is about 4' short of what I need to reach my 110v-12v convertor at the wall

Bob, Since you have in place below ground conduits, I would pull 3#12 wires (THHN type, +110, netural, ground) through the conduit to a new outlet above ground. I would also use GFI recepticles, for

Using an extension is no problem, the power line for the a/p mounts are mearly carrying DC voltage, simply go to a hardware store and get a 'DC' cable extension ie: cigrette lighter feamle in to

Hi Bobby; Glad to see you got your 1200 mount...you will be pleased. As to extension cords i can only tell you my experience. I had Roland make up for me the length of power cord I required from my

Hi Bobby, the power cord does seem to be very short for use in the field. I extended mine with a simple cigarette lighter extension cord which has a male on one end and a female on the other. You can

Hello everyone,What type of microphones and computer combinations have you found to work best with the DSV. My desktop is a Pentium II 350 with 128MB RAM, and my laptop is a Pentium 120 with 48MB

out. Thanks Charles and thanks for the other responses. That's "sort of" what I had in mind but I will really need a male and female of the other smaller end in order to be able to thread it through

I recommend the Radio Shack micorphone mentioned in the manual. And/or ifyou want to spend the money the microphone from Shure also mentioned in themanual available through Astro-Physics works very

Hi all, I'm posting this to both the GOTO group and the AP group. Here is data on tracking errors for my AP600 from the other night. Subject was M101. The data consist of six image sequences of ten

It has happened sporadically over the course of the past few months, but this morning, I just couldn't get the keypad to power up! Any ideas? thanks! -Todd Boston Meteorologist Todd

Hi Todd; This has happened to me several times. If you have the 600 which I think you do, this occurs due to how the computer box is placed on the tripod and the position of the power cord. You may

Howard.. this is very helpful, and exactly why we have this group. I have a feeling it is the in-box problem that is plaguing me. I'll play with it, and then I will call A/P if it doesn't help.

Yes, I have a 900 GOTO on order. However I don't like the idea of a telescope slewing to a target when I can move the scope myself. I know this can't be done with the GOTO or it will lose its place

Rich Why not use the hand controller to manually move the scope. That way you can still star hop without the GOTO function, and you won't lose the reference as you would manually moving the

Oh! Not a bad idea. Thanks! Rich

IIRC, you can use DSC's like the NGC-Max with the 900 GTO, but you have to buy AP's encoders for both axes, since the goto uses the motors, not encoders on the shaft, for position info. The motor info

Rich, Yes, if you move the scope/mount manually the mount wont know where youre pointing. What I do, when I manually use the scope/mount, is to first computer align the scope, then point it to a
