Hello all,
I recently purchase a second hand Mach1 from a member here who assured me was in perfect condition….well let me tell you, that was an understatement!
I’ve been waiting patiently for

Re: Mach1 gears
It definitely needs to be tight, BUT first call George here at AP so he can advise you on how to adjust it.

Re: Mach2 with CP five jiggling while tracking
I will send you some instructions to eliminate the oscillations.
By the way, has nothing to do with PHS2 or any other outside programs attached to the mount.

Re: Guider Settings
Your setting of .01 seconds of time = 0.15 arc seconds at 1x sidereal. That's pretty small unless your star scintillation is close to zero.

I have attached a image taken of the Veil nebula taken while the mount was jiggling in the RA axis. The length of exposure was 75 seconds and, the focal length of the telescope is 674 mm.

Re: Error in APCC pro reading RA encoder on Mach2

Terri you can't make it come to the front in the way you are doing (believe me, i have tried)
you have to hover your mouse over that window preview and click the "X" to dismiss it
Then you can go back

The hidden error window has happened to me numerous times, and I mentioned it in a previous thread. I use the same workaround, but it’s annoying.
