Hi Ron, I use the V2 driver’s option to set a user defined RA/Dec park position. I too have a wall mounted flat panel, but as my observatory is not built square to NS/EW cardinal points pointing the

Software is often programmed to protect the end user from doing something incorrectly. However, the beauty of ASCOM, which A-P mounts support, is that you could create a short script to slew your

Hi Stephane, You can't at this time with APPM, but you will be able to do that in a future version (of APPM/APCC). The only formatting information available is already in the PNT file, but it is

Hi Stephane, You can't at this time, but you will be able to do that in a future version. The only formatting information available is already in the PNT file, but it is subject to change. Best

Could we be allowed to set out own user park position? I can't close my snap-cap because the dome is to close when pointing up. The position I want is objective down so I have space for it to

Hello Ray, Always in order to have a pointing model better and better : For example, I take "only" 20 points with APPM : I make a first pointing model with APCC and use it. So, at this moment with my

Hi Dhaval, When my AP-900 clutch (nylon) plugs “MUSHROOMED” outinto the channel space between the axle and the head/knobs – because I didn’tfully appreciate the warning in the manual,

If you don't need to change the telescope setup, then don't do anything. The mount will work just fine. Rolando

Thanks George Don

Don, Please see the Quick Start Guide for connection settings: http://www.astro-physics.com/tech_support/mounts/Quick_Start_&_Workflow_Guide.pdf Regards, George George

That oil leak has nothing to do with the light machine oil that you would use on the clutch plugs....that is only a couple of drops on each plug. I doubt if any oil leaking from the gear box would

Thanks! It does look like there was some form of leak of oil from the Dec gear box. I will do that when I am out the next time. It is good to know that this will work under power. Thanks, Dhaval

The clutch plugs probably dried out. It won't make any difference when moving the DEC axis under power....but you can't loosen to balance the mount by loosening the clutches because the plugs are

The guide rate options are limitedon the GTO Keypad Controller (assuming that you have one), but it is worthchecking to see it it has changed. I am dating myself here, but I foughta similar problem

There is a similar box in TSX in case he’s using that. Stuart -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/featured.html

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
