Re: Separate power for mount - why?
Joseph,
And the non-adjustable Powerwerx is actually slightly variable inside the case. I believe they ship set to 14.1v. But I followed their instructions and went inside mine and lowered it to

Re: Problem with PHD2 when also connected to Mach1 mount using Stellarium's Telescope Control plugin
Ah – very interesting. Yes – that sounds like a good idea!

Yep – that is very good advice. I think I shall probably follow that!

Hi Joel,
Yes I do agree that the preponderance of evidence would point to some issue with Stellarium being the culprit. But there is the possibility that Stellarium is doing something perfectly

Re: Problem with PHD2 when also connected to Mach1 mount using Stellarium's Telescope Control plugin
Admittedly in NINA not SGP, but I just slew to the same alt/az location every night, I do not bother to look if there are stars there (there are stars everywhere :) ). I have a script that I run that

Hi Geof,
Yes – as the joke goes –
Me: “Doctor, it hurts when I do that…”
Doctor: “Well don’t DO that…”
I understand that might be the “fix” – if only for now – and

Re: Separate power for mount - why?
I use the variable one also, though I use it at the fixed 14.1 voltage. I think the other one is a similar technology just with powerpoles and fixed voltage; I do not know if it existed when I

Scratch that. I just saw that you are already on 21.2.

John,
Another data point. I mentioned that I did not see this behavior with my AP1100 at my home, but I did see it with my remote observatory mount. I have Stellarium 0.21.2 installed at home, but

Re: Separate power for mount - why?
Thanks for the clarification. One person is using a variable voltage and one using a non-variable voltage model they both work equally well as a separate power supply.
Thanks

I was referring to the Powerwerx 25 amp variable voltage supply that is also available from Astro-Physics - https://www.astro-physics.com/psvpw25a

Re: Separate power for mount - why?
you guys are talking about (A, and the power supply) no ware was there a mention of a model number for the power supply you are talking about. I am assuming the power supply you are talking about is

Re: Separate power for mount - why?
I always use one power source to power the following for about 10 years:
A-P Mach1 and currently A-P 1100GTO using CP3 and currently CP4
SXVR-M25C, then QSI660wsg and currently QHY600M cameras

Re: APCC / model
Hi Ray,
Excellent, exactly what I needed. My application does interact with the V2 driver so I will use that method to load the model.
Eric, the reason I need this feature is because my 4 targets are

Re: NINA not Parking my 1100
This is likely the case. On APCC's window, you'll find the "AP V2 Driver" section. There's a checkbox there labeled Auto-Config. If APCC will configure the ASCOM driver with its settings IF APCC is

Thanks folks, that was the issue. The ASCOM driver was set to park at the current position. That said, why would SGP go to park position one? I've never messed with the setting in the driver.

Re: APCC / model
This is most definitely true. Even a relatively tight 130 point dec-arc model only takes my Mach2 ~45minutes to complete, which can easily be done shortly after the start of early evening nautical
