Re: APCC Questions
Hi Darrell,
AP mounts don't have a built-in flip. I've imaged for 8 hours straight without one if the object was far enough north or south to not cause an accident with the pier. You have to set it in

Re: APCC Questions
Thanks. Thats what I suspected, but wanted to make sure before I started changing things.
So just to be sure, Page 132 of the APCC-ST manual - 5.14 Meridian Tab. I start from here and work forward.

It will not do a flip by itself unless you set it up to do one. There is no automatic flip with any of our mounts.

Re: APCC Questions
It seems that there is a big delay in my previous post turning up. I hope it will eventually. In summary, I will try again tonight and see what I can do. Thanks.
But onto my next issue. Meridian

Re: First light with Mach1 - a query
Had the same thing happen at our remote observatory in Chile. The fans on the back of the CCD camera were not low vibration type and the stars were fairly large ovals even in a 1 sec exposure. As soon

Hi Darrell,
That should bring up the AP Jog program, if you installed it by enabling the proper option in the AP V2 ASCOM driver installer. I can't think of any reason why launching AP Jog would

Let me preface my response with: I'm only a six-month user of APCC and a Mach1, and there are those who know far more that will correct any errors in my response.
1. I've never seen APCC or the V2

Hi Dhaval,
First, I'm sorry to hear that your PC died.
Unless the hard disk died you didn't lose your settings information, as APCC creates a backup of settings every time you start it.
