There is always the CP4 upgrade, something I am considering. Jeff

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread. I have a similar situation with an old AP900GTO. I just acquired a CP3 with the v2 chip for it. What other upgrades are available for these mounts? Thanks in

Hi I would like to know is support is always on for an old mount (ap900gto, bought in 1999, i was a young man !). It always work very well like the first day, CP1 was replaced by a cp3 about 5 years

Thanks Linwood. I could have worded that better but I did not mean to imply being level is needed for polar alignment. The second part of that was really just to see if the carpenter level was needed

Bear in mind polar alignment is not really affected by whether or not is level, other than significant errors in level will confuse instructions (like from Nina's TPPA) that says "move 2' down", in

Regarding the bubble level on the mount, it's not critical that the mount itself is level. The carpenter's level is used to ensure that the position of each axis is correct before

Todd, I have the same problem as you had before Christmas and am still waiting on a solution from Ray. I am about ready to do what you did with a clean install of Win 11. Any pointers you can give

Hi David, For imaging you will need good polar alignment. Can you use the bubble level on the mount rather than a carpenter level? I do this when setting up and was thinking it might keep you from

Thanks, Christopher. That connector is long gone, and to date no more issues. I'm rearranging cables a lot, and so making a lot of powerpole connections. Maybe I did it wrongly, but I think that

I need to read the documentation but when I did this recently, I just selected the download button, then in Horizons, just "Load" the file you just downloaded. That worked for me Todd

Ray, given the problems I am having with APCC, I don't suppose that I can use my APPM model anyway. Larry

Ray, I will await a message from you when they get back to you. Larry

Hi Philip, Version 1.9.3.1 has an updated Horizons application and documentation: https://www.apastrosoftware.com/apcc_download/APCC_Pro_Setup_1.9.3.1a.exe Here is a link to the help section online

That can happen if the mount is not responding because it is disconnected or powered down with apcc and the driver still querying the mount. The recommended shutdown procedure is: 1) Disconnect all

Hi Emilio, There’s not enough information to determine the problem. You should try updating to the latest driver version, v5.40.01. If that doesn’t help, it could be that the settings

Usually, you can install over the old version. The installer will tell you if you need to uninstall the existing APCC installation first from the Windows Control Panel. -Ray

Hi Larry, It's unclear what's causing the issue. It may be a combination of hardware and a Windows update, for instance. I don't know. The issue has occurred in only a few computers, so it is not

Hi Philip JPL data went through a change recently, and you may need to update your APCC to the latest https://ap-gto.groups.io/g/main/message/83930 you may also search the forums for discussion on
