Linwood, From the log file, I eliminated all possibilities except for manual double-clicking of the park-status on APCC's status bar, which matches the expected command sequence from that action (two

OK, I lied, curiosity got the better of rational steps like sleeping. Found the :KA# (at 5:46:33.247) but have no idea where it came from. Also, the ASCOM log is weird, it jumps from 20:03 to 6:29

The title on that page says this is for mounts "Shipped prior to 11-13-00". Just to be clear, that's November 13th, 2000 -- almost 21 years ago. :-) The command to park the mount is ":KA#" in all

Check the actions you have set when your mount hits your horizon limits for example. One of them is to Park. Also if there was a disconnection between APCC and the mount for a pre-determined length

Hi Linwood, There are various ways that the mount can park, but ":Me#" is not one of them. That command moves the mount East at the current move rate, which is usually the guide rate. Also, be

Very well done, congratulations.

New AP1100AE and novice imager so I am pretty sure I caused this, but would like to understand how and cannot find it in the logs... Woke up a hour or so before dawn, rolled over and connected the

Thx for the pointer on minix. I’ve seen these and wondered if they were underpowered. Now that I think about it the minix might be appropriate for mount 2 which I’m thinking will initially be

And not just any tick, but a “Deer Tick.” So far as I know, they’re the only ticks to carry Lyme Disease. When I got bit by a tick, I took the dead tick to my doctor and he sent it to a lab

Ok thank you Ray. I pops up on some slews only. V1.9.0.11 is working perfectly for me too. Thanks, Rouz

CDC and HNSKY Planetariums do not cause any problems on my current MiniX so they should work well on this one. SkyX works fine as well, but I do not pan around SkyX looking at the planetarium

I can also vouch for this particular Minix model. I've been using the J50C-4 Max since last April with no issue whatsoever. I can indeed run a powerbox advance client, Ascom OCH, APPC, NINA (Canon

Any part of the Cygnus loop is a treat for visual astronomers and astrophotographers alike. The many intricacies of its structure make it unique in the night sky. I shot Pickering's Triangle through

I dont think it would have any problems running all of that. I have a lot of devices on it. Powerbox, MGBoxV2, PL16803 camera, CFW5-7, Ultrastar, AG Thermal box, Nitecrawler, etc and mine is the older

For me with APCC, ACP Expert, MaxIm, FocusMax, and the rest of the automation software/hardware and weather stuff that may be pushing it for me but then again I often over do the specs to be safe.

In general, it's not necessary to do more than connect your AC adapters into outlets which are closely coupled, as on a power strip. All AC adapters with two-prong plugs, and most with three prong

It’s important to understand what you want to protect. The first thing is people – that’s not with a surge suppressor, but with a GFI protected outlet. My GUESS is your outlet already is,
