Hi everyone, Just wanted to share a few images taken with the AP1100 and C14 at about 0.1 arcseconds/pixel. The planets were tracked for several hours and lots of data was recorded with the best

My mount is not very well polar aligned and I image for hours with no problems. Rolando

I used PEM PRO to polar align my newer 1100 and older 900 mounts. I than insert the RAPAS and zero it to agree by placing Polaris on the correct location on the RAPAS dial (from the app) by adjusting

Hello George, As Tom mentioned, we do extensive testing but cannot catch every user’s configuration or situation. In your case, if you find yourself running into problems with newly-released

You do NOT need to connect APCC to the driver. Ever. Its only purpose is to keep the ASCOM driver running even when all ASCOM client applications disconnect. And just to be clear, this "error 91"

It is not a reliable process for precision polar alignment. It was meant for quick setups when no other means are available.If you have any non-orthogonality in your telescope optics, then any method

Hi The question is does one need to connect to the AP driver in APCC? I have seen comments that it does if you want to use your model. So. So do you Ray? I have 4 virtual ports that appear and a my

Mike, Yes, use the push-pull screws to adjust the rear plate. You can always restore the plate to flush and do it again. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone:

I saw the same thing a couple of times. Connecting manually to the V2 driver seems to have fixed this. Since I'm running my observatory remotely, these numerous and frequent software updates, with new

That is a really beautiful image! Crisp and clean. Obviously you have great equipment and favorable seeing but I echo the request if you wouldn’t mind sharing your acquisition and processing

FWIW I checked mine once after doing a fairly careful align photographically and mine was off about the same amount, maybe a tad less (different directions). Of course, no alignment is perfect so

I have been getting a lot of what I suspect is field rotation in my guided images so I thought I would check my polar alignment using the RA Correction method as described in the manuals. I have a

Hi Aaron, When the CP5 joins a network, the Access Point will be turned off because the Wi-Fi hardware does not have enough resources to support full functionality on both the Access Point and Station

Yes it is everybody's favorite, mine included! During public events at our observatories, I always save Saturn for last, not telling anyone what they will see next. I LOVE the reactions and

You have periodic error in a non-encoder mount. That will manifest itself in a slow back and forth motion in RA. This error is normally a sinusoid which has two places where the star will sit

Very nice. Pretty little planet indeed, everyone's favorite planet. Rolando

Pretty cool Jim. How about sharing some of the capture and processing details. Jeff

Looking for theories to explain occasional dumbbell star images in unguided exposures. I have a long standing variable star monitoring project run through DC3 Scheduler. Recently changed from a C11

Fabulous! 😎 Pete
