What ever happened to PEMPro 3. I’m faithful user of 2. Looking forward to 3. Ned Smith N 34,53,38.13 W 85,28,17.10 Near Chattanooga, TN

As part of trying to understand the APCC model created by APPM, I followed Roland’s suggestion of trying PEMPRO with a star both to the East and to the West of the meridian (with the APCC tracking

Hi Kai, Drift is altered slightly by refraction. PEMPro estimates and removes the error introduced by refraction, which results in a more accurate result. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics

Hi Ray, Would you provide more info on the "compensation for refraction"? Thanks. -Kai

The revised and heavily tested v4.19.2 is ready for download. Remember to print the instructions follow them exactly! http://www.astro-physics.com/tech_support/mounts/keypad_update/419/419.htm

Good news. I took the RAPAS out of the mount and clamped it to a table so it wouldn't move and was able focus it on Polaris such that it didn't move when I moved my eyes. It took some trial and

One important thing that I think PEMPro's Polar alignment has over PHD2 is compensation for refraction. As far as I know no other application has this feature. (Disclaimer: I am the author of PEMPro

I forgot about PHD. Free is good. Dave

Andrew, PHD2 has a really nice polar alignment tool and it's free. Peter ---In ap-gto@..., <dsidote@...> wrote : Andrew, Pempro would allow you to easily polar align your mount when you only have a

Andrew, Pempro would allow you to easily polar align your mount when you only have a view of the southern sky. Dave

I am currently on the waiting list for a GTO Mach1 mount. Thinking ahead I want to know if there will be any issues aligning this mount if my viewing location does not have a clear view of Polaris. My

Rolando, Thank you for the info. I will try this the next clear night I get. Tom

Hmm... no workaround needed for me. Did the v4.19.0 install by the book and it worked fine from "Resume Last Position". Made sure Auto Connect =No and the date was correct. Used it last night and

Your mount is most likely working correctly. You may have a severe orthogonal misalignment in your telescope. It is best to start with the finderscope because it is relatively easy to adjust the

I am still struggling with aligning my new 1600. So, I purchased a RAPAS and installed. I aligned the mount using the instructions included and spent the first night just verifying Polaris' path.

Thanks for the suggestion to try Bootcamp so that there isn't any virtualization layers slowing things down. I'll try that. Rich

what i mean is that what the camera manufacturer told you is wrong - drivers on the OS X side are not necessary to make hardware work in the virtualized windows environment. you're probably looking at
