AP1100GTO + Pole Master
A year ago a buddy in my dark sky site operation bought a Pole Master and matching adapter for his AP900GTO mount. He was impressed with its ability to improve his polar alignment and he asked me if

Re: Saving SYNC/Rcal information
Hi Joe,
The next release of APCC, which has been completed and is in internal testing at A-P, can use any ASCOM ObservingConditions driver.
That said, APCC has always had the ability to calculate

Re: Saving SYNC/Rcal information
Hi Eduardo,
Accuracy is improved only in the area where the recal/sync was performed.
APCC Standard does not include a pointing model, so an RCAL/SYNC only would only potentially improve pointing

Re: Mach 1 Milestone – GearBox
Agreed.
And I must also add that polar alignment is a delight with the smooth and precise knobs.
My old EQ6 was clunky and the two axes seemed to interfere with each other a bit too. This is buttery

Re: Articles on periodic error and PEC
Thanks much for the link and tips. I realize nothing is as good as doing it and I will get my hands dirty and have fun with it ;)). I'll download the program and start playing with it.

Re: Mach 1 Milestone – GearBox
I agree with you Darrell, it is a brilliant system. Makes precise balancing a piece of cake!
Just remember to hold on to your counterweight shaft when disengaging the worm in case you are way out of

Re: Another APCC question
Hi Dale,
No, I don't think any verification is needed. I am sure I found it.
If you like to hear the technical details on how I found this using the SQLite database and logs I could email you

You could start here by scanning the help contents for subjects within that interest you.

But nothing will substitute for actually using it.

By the way, this is not a political position I'm taking as far as tariffs etc., something obviously has to be done about trade imbalance. It turns out that raw materials are being hit, but finished
