I just use a USB cable. No need for Ethernet unless you are 1/2 mile away from your mount. Rolando

Another option is the USB port on the CP5 box. I started out using the RS-232 with the same USB to serial converter that I had always been using but then I just eliminated the converter and am now

Ah, OK. I'll make these changes soon, but of course I may have to wait for the weather to clear. Might have a couple of clear spots tonight before I take in the OTA - storm 'Delta' is heading our way

I have no experience using ethernet. On page 41 of the Mach2 manual, in the paragraph Use AP V2 Driver for Your Autoguiding Moves, it recommends using ethernet instead of the autoguider port. If I

Hi, Yes, I called first and had a discussion but there was no follow up after the emails as well. However, this mail train has resulted in Howard contacting me and resolving my questions. All is

Just to follow up on Roland, and clarify for people, the difference between cat5 and cat6 is the amount of crosstalk and noise allowed, in addition to an increased bandwidth. Cat5 is guaranteed to

Cat5 will work fine. Rolando

The literature mentions using a CAT 6 ethernet cable for installing upgrades to the CP4/5 control boxs. Does it need to be CAT 6? I already have CAT 5 and would need to purchase CAT 6. Larry

The standard readhead is rated at 0C to +80C Extended temperature readhead is rated at -40C to +80C We have standard readheads in a number of mounts that have worked for years in temperatures well

FWIW.... I have a 900 CP3 that I can go about 5min reliably unguided. But since that's too short for my preferred subs, the bigger challenge for me has been taming differential flexure and getting

What is the temperature range spec of the non-L encoder version?

Yes and move a cp4 to a Mach 1 that already had it's personality changed.

Eric I tried using a laser pointer. The problem is that the high point on the scope changes as APPM goes through the various measurements points. So, what clears the horizon at one point will be

Bill, Just so I am clear, you are going to put the CP4 on an 1100AE? Liam AP

Bill, you forgot to mention that we need a baby Mach2 mount! Best, Eckhard

A couple of additional changes that you should make: 1. If you want to ensure a counterweight-up position to the east of the meridian, you will need to update your meridian limits, so that the East

Nevermind, I see your screenshot in your earlier posts shows that the "Override ASCOM" checkbox is not enabled. If it is not enabled, the ASCOM driver's meridian delay can override the meridian

So, are you saying if you do nothing else but slew twice to Jupiter using Stellarium, the first slew results in a counterweight-up position, and the second slew causes a pier flip? The mount's "flip

My telescope is remotely controlled from my house to the outside property via a 100ft LAN cable. So I use Stellarium/Stellarium Scope for my pointing/slewing. The safe zone was created using APCC.
