Hello all, I am not sure if this is a problem or not - but I was at the observatory this weekend and noticed that the Dec axis won't even budge after I loosened the clutches. It works just fine with

I guide my AP1200 CP3 with SkyX with no problems using the ASCOM interface and a separate ST-402 guide camera. Some questions: 1. Is your mount tracking across the sky without guiding? I.e., after

Hi Rolando, thanks for responding!!! I use theSky X with the Camera Add On but there is a "Reverse X" box in the guider window. It was checked, i unchecked it and now everything runs like it

Hello Wolfgang, If you are using MaximDL you may have the little "Pier Flip" box in the guider window checked, that causes the guider to invert the correction signal. This will cause the guide star to

Hi everybody, i use a AP1200 with CP3 system. A few nights ago , i got troubles with the guiding in the RA axis. The guider detects the star and even the calibration works perfect. But when i start

Hi Don, If you *have* to run TheSky as administrator, then just run your other apps (e.g. MaximDL) as administrator as well. Some people do this even though the preferred way is to run under normal

Ray You were absolutely right! I had run the Sky 6 as admin in order to get TeleAPI to register properly. I right clicked on The Sky desktop icon went to properties/compatibility but found the run as

Hi Don, The AP V2 ASCOM driver is a hub, but I think you were trying to run one of the applications as a regular user and another "as Administrator". This will cause *two* instances of the ASCOM

Hello Bob I did as you suggested and reinstalled the TeliAPI plugin. Afterwards, I was able to connect to the mount through the APV2 driver and operate it with the Sky6 fine just like I do with my Win

Refunded SkyX - lacked the rotator support I was looking for. I found SGP framing and mosaic wizard allows me to do what I want. I wasn't impressed with theSkyX enough to keep it. (lots of free

Hi Dale, Thanks for your post. This is the way my laptop is set up. I simply open up SkyX and connect telescope and unpark. Everything else flows automatically. The driver pops up to show that the

Thanks Ray, I’ll perhaps just wait until it’s passed the Beta. Cheers. Matt On 7 Sep 2018, at 22:16, 'Ray Gralak (Groups)' groups3@... [ap-gto] <ap-gto@...> wrote:

Hi Matt, The new driver is a beta and it's optional. Its biggest new feature is Ethernet/WiFi connectivity, which APCC already has, so you wouldn't be gaining much by trying it besides a couple of

EXCELLENT explanation, Dale! It concisely covers the details, and presents a compelling case for using ASCOM. Nicely done. -- Mike Mike Dodd http://astronomy.mdodd.com Louisa County, Virginia USA

You're obviously using a serial/usb connection to your Mach1's CP4. TSX has two methods of connecting to an Astro-Physics mount: 1. There as a native Astro-Physics driver within TSX. This is

Hi Roland, Always nice to hear from AP J Unfortunately you may have emailed the wrong Tony, I am Tony Benjamin with an AP 1100GTO. Cheers Tony

Hi Ray, I have APCC Pro. I'm computer illiterate so are unsure of the relationship between the driver and APCC. I don't really have much interest because everything from AP just works therefore I

Hello all, I would like to announce that we have a new version of the AP V2 ASCOM driver which supports Ethernet/WiFi connections (with GTOCP4 only) and has a few other improvements and bug fixes.

Hello Tony, Basically George did not understand your description of the looseness, when he suggested adjusting the backstop. What you have has nothing to do with the backstop of the RA motor box.
