When i've seen this type of activeX error in the past, there was something about starting up the app (not apcc, but the companion app) as administrator one time so the activeX widget could be

Thank you, Keith! I'm running Windows 10 Pro 19044.1466. It seems unlikely that either the OS or the MGBox software would make that much difference. I'm having the exact same problem on my laptop

I have MGBox V2 and APPCC Pro which connects and works fine. The settings in the APCC Environment Settings and in the GPS tab are exactly as you have them. The only difference that I can see is my

My experience with some full moon limited testing with increasing moon separation distance using a 7nm Ha filter has shown.... that the background noise will become asymptomatic at about 60 deg

I was doing a three point polar alignment in NINA, as I do every night, and when it started slewing (usually a small movement to be just off the pole), the DEC axis spun clockwise (as viewed from

Hoping someone has had experience with the MGBox V2 and APCC Pro. I've installed the drivers and utility. Running MGBox V2.3.0 displays all data correctly, including GPS Lat, Long, and elevation.

Thanks Tom, That is good information with exhibits.

Thank you all very much, this is the information I need to plan for the future. Now I just hope that my name on the notification list will someday result in a message offering me the opportunity to

I have an ap600 and just bought the cp4 upgrade last year. Still supported!

Same with the S2 filter. No noticable gradients. They will probably show up when color combined. On the other hand, O3 shots can't be taken with a moon around in my experience.

This was taken 2 nights ago when the moon was 30 degrees away. 20 minute subs with an fsq106 and ap1100. Used with 12nm cheapo baadwr filter. You be the judge...no processing, just calibration. Taken

You know what this means? The Stowaway street value just went up 70% on the aftermarket. A better investment than crypto! J Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note9, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable

I think Roland should start racing motorcycles again -- now that I have my 130GTX, Stowaway, Mach2 and 1100. Oh wait, I'm still on the list for the Mak! Forget the motorcycle. :) Marty

Interesting comment on the OII. I will avoid that tonight for sure. I am happy with just Ha. I also run an X2 guider and have never had any problems with this with or without a full moon. I don't

Hi Ted I don't have any quantifiable details to offer, but anecdotally I've had good results imaging narrowband under full moon. I would probably not imagine as close to the moon as 30 degrees due

Marcelo, I’m using a non-encoded 1100GTO mount and guiding with a Lodestar x2 camera. Tonight’s forecast is for “mostly clear” skies so I’ll give it a go. Ted

Sounds like a good plan, I would just pick the farthest target from the moon that you can. And of course only Ha. And, does your mount have encoders, are you using guiding? I ask because if you are

Aaron, That is probably good advice, but would throw me into the category of not worth trying at this time of the year. As a result, if the weather permits tonight, I am going for the relaxed

Many have advised me that when full, the moon needs to be 60 angular degrees away from your target when capturing Ha or Sii, and 90 degrees away when capturing Oiii. But that's for a 100% illuminated

Ted, I think your plan is a good one. The problem with this time of year is that the targets get pretty slim as the full moons approach galaxy season. There are few targets available that meet your
