Re: Mount Status Not Updating in MaxIm DL Observatory Control Window
Part 2 of this experiment was actually to connect from MaxIm directly to the mount via the AP-V2 Driver. I got the same results as above - all were normal, and the mount status was the same in both

Re: Ethernet Connection to Mount in APCC
Mine works with direct connection to computer Ethernet port or through Ethernet switch. It shouldn't matter. I don't use APCC, just A-P V2 ASCOM mount driver.

Thank you everyone. This fixed the issue. I has selected Astro-Physics mount rather than ASCOM mount.
Best,

Re: Oops! Powered-off mount while still connected
So the best way to recover is:
1. Loosen the clutches
2. Move the mount to Park5 and level it
3. Tighten the clutches
4. In the ASCOM driver, command the mount to unpark from Park5
5. In the ASCOM

Doug George at Diffraction Ltd had me run an experiment to connect to the mount through the ASCOM Device Hub (by way of the AP-V2 ASCOM Driver) instead of APCC, and then connecting MaxIm DL to the

Re: Oops! Powered-ff mount while still connected
No, the park anywhere feature is correct regardless of what is used for initialization.
In your special case we don't know what was sent to the mount when you powered it back on. One would have to dig

Yes, we are working on something like that for all our encoder mounts, including the 1100 and 1600 mounts.

Re: Mach2 with CP five jiggling while tracking
It might be nice if a future version of APCC had a slider control for encoder dampening (for each axis) as I frequently switch back and forth with a lighter and a heavier scope.

Here is a bit of information, from just before I had the issue with the oscillation of the mount tracking, I rebalanced the mount to eliminate all imbalance. However the oscillation did not

Re: Oops! Powered-ff mount while still connected
Seems like quite an involved procedure you have there.
Why not just unpark the mount, manually slew it to some east or west part of the sky, and do a plate solve and sync (recal)? There's no need to

Oops! Powered-ff mount while still connected
Last night I had occasion to check my 1200's pointing accuracy. I followed the standard procedure:
1. Connect with APJog
2. Park to Park5
3. Level both axes, tighten clutches
4. Unpark from last

I was imaging this evening and suddenly the stars started streaking across the image (after about 2 hours running fine). It wasn't a fast slew and I watched it continue across several images (150s
