Did the target move in RA or Dec? Roland

Hi Rouz, Thanks for the details! Could you also put a zip file created using the APCC Log zipper utility? Please include all the APCC, APPM, and ASCOM logs from the evening when you were doing the

I'm very happy that V1.9 now works with NINA and ASTAP. Model building was very straightforward and quick. For some reason, my unguided exposures have trailing stars. The target will move a few

If the scope flips to the other pier side, it counts as a new set of two dec arcs of 5+ points (20 total sky points minimum, 10 on each pier side). -Ray

Ray, are you talking about at least 5 points to the point where you do a meridian flip or 5 points horizon limit-to-horizon limit including meridian flip? -- Dean Jacobsen Astrobin Image Gallery -

Good info. Thanks.

You want at least one Dec row of mapping points 1 degree above and 1 degree below your target. Each row should have at least five sky data points. You can define more points per arc for additional

I usually set up and tear down every time I image, and I tend to do only one target in a night. What is the most efficient way for me to do mapping and still get excellent results using dec arc

Same thing happened to me. My virtual ports were 21 and 22 and now there gone. My primary port is now com 3 which also switched. Virtual ports as option 21-23 are no longer available as options.

David, I sent you a private email, but I wanted to post here as well in case anyone else has a similar issue (unexpected parking) in the future. In looking at the logs you supplied yesterday

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

That is impressive. Where are you located/ I can't get seeing like that on a consistent basis, even with the mighty 17". Perhaps one night out of 20. SW Florida, Fort Myers area. We trade

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
