I can connect to the mount by ethernet at 192.168.1.36 but the driver has 192.168.1.13 and it will not let me change it in the driver. Somehow I need to clear that ip address from the driver. Mike

Tom, Did the ascom driver act the same way that I have described , not letting you go back to a com port. Mike

Michael, I literally just had this problem…today. Try this: Go to command prompt Type: arp -a There is a space in there. Hit enter The list that comes up are all the IP addresses that your computer

Hello friends, It was finally time to bring the mount and telescope inside. The weather has been very poor. Rainy and very high humidity as of late. I finally pulled in the gear. It sat outside from

I have Ascom platform 6.1 SP1 in fact I just reinstalled, .Net 3.5 is enabled and .Net Framework 4.8 is installed. It seems that Ip address is latched and it will not let me get out. Can the CP5 be

Did you edit that screenshot? There are a couple of checkboxes missing ("APCC Virtual Port" and "Use ASCOM Serial Object"). If you didn't, then you might want to try downloading and re-installing the

I would like to know from other owners of AP mounts if you are fully loaded and you grip the counter shaft and use a small amount though distinctive force through the DEC axis will you notice any

I can switch it in the window that you have above to a come port, and then I hit ok. but when I open it up again it has the ip address in the window. It will not let me clear the ip address. I have

Have you tried the Setup Telescope utility? That's a stand-alone program that searches for the mount, and tells you what it finds. I've attached a screen shot of mine, and it has fields to set the COM

I am just starting to setup my Mach 2 and I tried to connect to ethernet. I have a ethernet ip address in the driver but it will not let me go back to the serial mode of connection. I have

I am curious, how does the Mach 2 maintain its gear meshing on its own?

Hi Carl, Here is my image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cjRcRSf4NmncvXNA7IKvJmE5MkLxlcVb/view?usp=sharing We had a (rare) clear night here (NH) so I was able to image for about 4 hours. The moon

Yes, it was NINA. I'll dig deeper into the settings and see if there's anything that reverses the direction of movement after flip. The good news is the standard flip worked as designed a couple

This is an indication that the reversing of the Dec direction was not set correctly in your plate solve program (NINA?). When you change sides in any German equatorial mount the Dec directions reverse

The smart meridian flip didn't work well for me last night. I ran a 28 point APPM arc before imaging. When I started the sequencer the telescope slewed directly to the target, centered (no movement

Derek, From what I see on PassMark, that CPU would be about 26% slower, which doesn't tell the hole story of course but I wouldn't worry about that that much. It is still a quad-core which in my

Sebastien, I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0788DJQR9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I added 4 GB ram. I think the N4200 is 30-40% slower than the newer processor.

This is very helpful. Thank you Tom -- CN: HasAnyoneSeenMyNeblua

Hi Derek, I don't know what you have under the hood of your minix, but with mine (J50C-4 Max: 8Gb DDR4 RAM, Intel Pentium Silver J5005) I have absolutely no problem runnning APPM with NINA/ASTAP with
