Hi Glenn, Good to know that my earlier problem was also observed by you. Unfortunately, l am not completely convinced because my setup is torn down and reinstalled each evening. Although I always

I have been using the keypad for the entire 17 years that I have been using AP mounts... except for now while I am waiting for the new version. It is handy and it always works. If I am imaging an

cytan, I generally have poor local seeing, but I am amazed at the variation that is possible. On good nights, guiding with my Mach1 (last generation) is around 0.3-0.4 arc seconds and the resulting

Roland has just described my experience with my AP keypad vs previous out of box experience. AP keypad is fairly bulletproof Tom. Ps I look forward to next version -- TJF MOBILE

Well, I set up my scope tonight and all subframes were good. The rms error was a little bigger 0.6 to 0.7 arcsec rms compared to 0.5 arcsec rms, but I think this is because it was windier tonight than

Sleep well. Looks like this black lead is loose.

The two motor boxes are identical. I'll leave it to you to figure out how to check where the problem is. I have to go sleep now. Roland

Wiring is good to go. Spur gear moves fine by hand.

Check your wiring. Your motor might not be connected to the CP. Rolando

Hello all, Having an issue with a motor stall after re-greasing my 1100AE mount. The stall seems to be related to movements in DEC. When I press those buttons on the keypad, the light on the back

With an FSQ you can definitely get good unguided performance. 30 minutes is a bit long however. Rolando

Ok it's an old mount but it does a great job with my Tak fsq106 and stl11000. Pempro tells me that the RMS error is 1.7 arcsec. When guiding using TheSkyX and the guider chip in the stl11000 I am

What do the stars look likewhen you take the system out of focus like for a focus run? Are they niceconcentric circles or do they go from round to oval to any one of a number ofshapes? This can be a
