Thanks everybody for your support. This is a new (both to me and to the world) mount. It left Astro-Physics end of August 2021. For the moment the wether is as bad as bad goes and it looks

Hi Ray: Thanks for the quick response. Computer specs are in the attached screen shot. In addition the storage is Samsung 500GB SSD. This computer is a bit old (maybe 7 years old). Sam

Hi Sam, That message means that APCC's command buffers were all used up. This can happen if APCC was doing something computationally expensive (like calculating a big model). It should clear itself

This last weekend, I started getting this error every time I switch models in APPM. Please see attached screen shot. In spite of the error, the model seems to load. But I’m not sure if it’s

Hello Horia You would need to provide your guidelogs to really know what is going on. Screen captures are interesting, but don't tell the whole story If this is a new (to you) mount, i highly

Robert, Linwood and Tom, Thanks for the suggestions. I have a lot to learn about processing. I agree with PixInsight developers that do not encourage artistic modifications. I need to go back to

Horia, What does your Dec drift look like if you turn guiding off? Most of your guiding corrections appear to be in one direction, which could indicate poor polar alignment. Best, Luca

For now, that is true. However, I should be able to alter the installer to detect Windows 7 and install Eltima V9. Otherwise, V10 will be installed. If that is not possible for some reason, I will

Hi Ray, nice to hear that is works. In older versions there was a break so that you could decide to install the software for the virtual ports or not. Do they have to be installed in ervery new

Ray, Yea!! That fixed it. A million thanks for going the extra mile on this. Larry

Hi Larry/Konstantin, I have confirmed that this is an issue with the Eltima V10 ActiveX control. It does not work with Windows 7. However, I made a small installer that will install the Eltima V9

One can do HDR composition with PI. Two sets of photos one at short exposires for the core and one longer. That will give the best of both. Quite easy to do. I've done it for the trapezium on
