I’m APCC go to the AE tab, under AE actions click the big find home button that should get it straightened out.

I believe my Mach2 is "lost", the RA & DEC values in the FIT header is wrong. How do I get the Mach2 to a known position?

Reporting, stil no luck with TSX plate solves .

Thanks George Yes, I followed those instructions through step 6 using the wood dowel before I attached anything to the mount. They got me pretty close, except that as Chris noted above, when I

Thanks, Ray. in digging further I found in the APPM Platesolve tab the image scale was also from my AP1100 mount camera, and I corrected it also. Perhaps it was this setting which was resulting in a

Yes, that is the only way for SkyX to connect to the AP V2 ASCOM driver. -Ray

Ray, I was not trying to create an APPM model yet so did not look until you prompted me to. I realized that in APPM under Scope Connect Driver Settings the mount was AP1100, not sure if this is the

Dale, I have used the same version of TSX and same version of APCC Pro on my AP1100 (same PC) to plate solve successfully. The only variable is Mach2, hence my question. Shailesh

Mike, Use a dowel rod…see the following link: https://www.astro-physics.info/tech_support/accessories/mounting_plates/balancing-side-by-side.pdf Regards, George George

Hi Chris The setup that I am currently working to balance is a 180 EDT main imaging scope with a SBIG STXL16200 camera. The guide scope is a Tele-Vue Pronto with a SBIG ST2000-XM camera. This is a

You'll need to be less vague about what you mean by "unable the plate solve it in TSX". Are you getting an error message? If so, what does the message say? Etc, etc. One common reason why plate

As a new owner of Mach2, I am trying a plate solve in The SkyX and despite the correct image scale as verified in CCD calculators & astrometry.net, I am unable to plate solve it in TSX. I am able to

Mike, I'm going through the same process now, and my process is similar to yours. However, I don't think you want to do step 3. If you note the balance of the SBS and it is NOT in the center line of

No, but when you copy over the folder, any settings already set up on the new computer will be overwritten. -Ray

Ray, does it matter whether this is done before or after installing APCC? Larry

This helps me too as I am moving from a laptop to a NUC. Thanks Ray, Thanks Larry. Todd
