Not if you're pixel peeping ;^)' Rolando

It's a difficult double visually because of the brightness difference. I imaged it recently with the 10" and the secondary was easy in the 10" Mak. I have seen it visually in my 130 GT. Rolando

Hello All, I have used my AP 1100 GTO for several nights (using just the keypad) and I have noticed that I have never been able to achieve all the Park positions (1-4) simultaneously. After speaking

Good looking image to me as well!

Looks Great to me! JimP Get Outlook for iOS

Nice job Roland. The actual “Garnet Star” - Mu Cephei - is one of my favorite visual objects. -- Dean Jacobsen Astrobin Image Gallery - https://www.astrobin.com/users/deanjacobsen/

🤗 So if this is “the last object I will be imaging with the 10” F6.3 Astrograph”… where will it go next. 😉 Pete

Also known as the Elephant Trunk https://www.astrobin.com/g0bpv3/C/ This is the last object that I will be imaging with the 10" F6.3 Astrograph. Although the detail came out quite well, the stars were

So was the wait worth it? I tested the periodic error of my new mount with PemPro. ( I did not order the encoders) Native without PEC: +1.5/-1.4 arc seconds periodic error. 0.42 RMS arc

Hi Thanks Ray. I think all is now cleared up. Best regards, Tom

This is my try at WR 134. My processing skills really drag the image down but my book collection & YouTube watching of Pixinsight keeps growing. Wish I could do more with the stars.

It should be okay to leave that enabled if you want. You can sync (recal) into APCC's model as long as the coordinates are accurate. A bad plate solve (one that "succeeds" but with wrong coordinates)

Hi Tom, APCC's Mount group box settings are set by default to allocate and create the virtual ports when APCC starts. Unless you have a good reason to change the settings, you shouldn't change them.

Thanks Brian. Answers a lot. There are a couple of other items. Voyager has a mount option to not do a recal. It's called "Not sync if using pointing model. " That's why I asked. Now I used PemPro for

Hi Tom i'm up so i'll take a crack here ;) You definitely want the AP ASCOM driver to connect through APCC, that's how the modeling is transparent to your connecting applications. I always start up

HI Ok. Actually what was happening is that none of the virtual ports were being created. Now that they are, it seems to be fine. However, I have some questions. 1. What is the purpose of the AP V2

You can turn off run as admin for Voyager and see if everything functions fine. If it does, no harm done. If you contact them for support in the future they will ask you to turn run as admin back on.

If you can't fix that, please contact George at AP and have him issue a return for the CP4 so we can check it out fully. Roland

Hi Tom, This is not a problem with ASCOM or APCC. The problem is that Voyager needs to be run "as administrator", which complicates things because all other of the applications also need to be run

Hi, I am not even sure I know where to start here but something is not right. First I need to point out that I have had a perfectly working setup in the past with my AP600 and Voyager and PhD Guider.
