Thanks, I'll try the re-install. I have manually created virtual ports. That works the first time, but then on the next start of the program, it moves to higher numbered ports because these are

That's an exceptional result to a herculean task. Well done, Terry. dan kowall photonhunter.com --------------------------------------------

APCC always closes the ports when it exits. If it is not doing that then reinstall the virtual ports using the *latest* version of APCC. There is a step in the installation process that asks if you

Ray, thanks. I think the issue is that somehow the previously used virtual ports stay "open" when APCC closes. I can see them when I look at the hardware setup. If I delete them then APCC will start

That is not the usual behavior. Unless you manually set the virtual port, or the previously set virtual port is used, APCC scans ports starting with COM3 going up and selects the first one that is

Apologies if this has been asked/answered before. I've noticed that every time APCC starts it seems to go to a next higher number virtual port. If I delete all the virtual ports, it will start over

I think I have pushed this 10" as far as I can go. Need a larger mount and scope :)

Thanks Stuart

Thanks Rolando. It's very dim as well. I looked around for SH2-313 and there are very few images. How it was formed is very interesting.

VERY nice image Terry!!! Stuart -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/featured.html

Excellent image! Great colors, very sharp. Rolando

That should read 630 to 430nm. Sorry for the typo. Rolando

Hello Astronuts, I have uploaded an image comparing an uncoated polished lens element versus a finished multi-coated lens and the witness graph that goes with it. Multi-coated lenses generally have

Thanks! I have it all working now.

Yes, enable the "IP Addr" checkbox and enter the mount's IP address. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

I do have the latest driver And I do not see the port there. Unless you are meaning the IP ADR check box where an IP address is needed?

The option to connect via Ethernet to the driver is there. Make sure you have the latest version installed (v5.20.08) and have set the mount type in the driver's setup to "GTOCP4". You can get the

I was working on getting things going tonight for some practice. I am out of USB ports so I have to use the ethernet. On the ASCOM driver this port is not in there for options. And it will not

Hello All, Well, the power supply won't be completed exposed to the elements. I will place it, along with another one which I use to power up all my other accessories, inside of a fishing box. When
