APPM does look at the FITS header. The only thing I can think of is that there is another FITS header keyword that it is using. APPM doesn’t just pick numbers out of a hat! J > Even so, you

Hi Ray, Full filename is as highlighted below. Not sure how APPM does convert to these coordinates but most importantly, I wonder why it simply doesn't use the fits header info when it's available if

You're in the right spot for super good seeing. Probably quite similar to the Keys where I used up to 1000x to view Jupiter and Saturn. Amazing laminar air flow produces some of the best seeing on the

Heh well, it's not off-list if I neglect to change the recipient address :D It has been a long day.

Hey Ray, just sending this off-list. I know you're busy so don't feel the need to do an immediate response. I'm just scoping things out. Ok, this part seems to be the key to how complex the logic

David, Something in the video is very strange. You seem to have configured APCC to connect directly to the virtual COM port rather than the physical COM port. Note that the physical connection says

Hi Sebastion, What’s the full name of the file? APPM might have extracted the RA/Dec coordinates from the filename. It does this for working with the files it creates. Regarding the DLL

Also, if the driver window is blank because there is no communication with the mount than why is the APCC window still showing the correct mount position?

Hi Ray, Well the illustration, because I had a bad interpretation of the notion All-Sky which extends beyond the zone defined for the recording of the points and therefore the Dec arc tracking will

Hello Ray, Relative to this same "Image Test Link" function, I also encountered a filewhere the fits data was improperly parsed. RA and DEC were significantly off - see below. The camera angle wasn't

Why doesn’t APCC doesn’t tell me there is a communication error when I ask it to park? Please watch the video.

The driver being blank is an indication that you lost communication with the mount. Happened to me when my USB connection failed. When this happens in APCC the handshake is interrupted and the mount

Hi David, The blank fields in the driver’s window imply that driver is not communicating with APCC, or that APCC was not communicating with the mount. I can take a look if you use the APCC
