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

In the troubleshooting discussions of why my mount status is not being updated in MaxIm DL after slew commands it was suggested that when connecting to the mount with an ethernet cable that it should

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

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. Rolando

I sent you instructions in a separate e-mail that will fix this. Rolando

As I wrote, "I had occasion to check" the pointing accuracy. This is not my normal startup procedure. I normally power-up everything, unpark, and start an ACP imaging run. No sweat. But last night was

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.

Roland, 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

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

The attachment apparently didn’t get attached, maybe this time. aruckle

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

Hi John, Were you using a pointing model? -Ray

Please try this beta version of APCC Pro. It should fix both issues: https://www.apastrosoftware.com/apcc_download/APCC_Pro_BETA_Setup_1.9.1.5.exe -Ray

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

I also get occasional Error Reading RA encoder or Error Reading Dec encoder. It seemed to start after I had an issue fixed with the control box several months ago. I figured out how to get to the

Roland, Here is an image with the results from accessing the mount with APCC to get the list of values requested, hopefully you have previously solved the issue. I have a C14 with HyperStar
