Hi Ajay, looking at the ASCOM driver version history its seems that V5.40.00 "- Add King rate for CP4/5 versions VCP4-P02.08 and VCP5-P02.08 and later.". So despite King Rate being supported by the

All latest versions of NINA, APCC,

There's a thread about this from a while back; I'm not sure if there's anything more recent. tl;dr Asynchronous is preferable, but the warning can still appear. Apparently it's a PHD2 problem that

By the way another clear night here in New Mexico, we will see if I can do better tonight ;-). -- Kirby Collins astrobin: https://www.astrobin.com/users/kirbycollins80

I actually took three different sets of subs that night (I wasn't quite sure how this was going to work)...first 30x60 seconds with normal sidereal tracking, then started comet tracking with Horizons,

I think you can still process it even if you captured the filters sequentially, give it a shot with the new process!-- Brian Brian Valente astro portfolio

Brian, I really appreciate the link and correcting me on my process. I messed up and did not cycle between the filters. I will try to capture it again tomorrow.

For visual, I like to hunt down small galaxies and other small, faint objects with my C14, which has a small field of view. A mount that points precisely makes that much easier. The AP hand controller

Kanwar PS - I may be repeating myself but PixInsight released a complete rewrite of the comet alignment process which will work much better for mono+filters It has great documentation to go with

Kirby, You are correct. I meant LRGB subs using my mono setup and then generate final color image. I have similar concerns as you mentioned. My hope is CometAlignment in Pixinsight would do its magic

HI Kanwar for a mono camera, it is pretty much the same approach, but most mono imagers rotate the filters: expose red, switch and 1 exposure green, switch and 1 exposure blue, repeat Building the

Do you mean take RGB subs and combine with your mono camera and combine them for a color image? I’ve always used an OSC for things that move fast like comets so I didn’t have to deal with the

Hello, I am trying to capture comet using mono camera. I followed the steps Kirby mentioned and able to track the comet and take images to verify. All good but not sure how to proceed with mono setup

I filled out the survey. Happy to do so. One thought as I did... My responses reflect the fact that the Mach2 was NOT my first AP mount. I found the Mach2 very easy to set up. I had a far more

Quick question should the synchronous pulse guide box in ASCOM driver be checked or not checked to minimize the chance of this warning coming up? As this has been happening almost every session. Best

The documentation for driver version 5.40.01 in this document [https://www.gralak.com/apdriver/APV2_ASCOM_Driver_5.40.xx.pdf] says under Tracking Rate Controls: "Clicking this button sets Sidereal

Figure out what the problem was. A club member took the gear box cover off today to do some further inspecting and he figured out that the bolt through the center spur gear had worked itself loose,

Mike Thank you. I think you may well be right. What is strange about this issue is that it seems to affect both RA and DEC. Also, another confounding factor is that this same tandem setup - with one
