I haven't noticed such a problem due to the long polar bore. The full field does exist but since the eye relief is poor, one must get very close to see the entire field. Since I wear eyeglassses,

Additional info: a friend of mine has a AP900GTO, with CP2 and keypad 4.07. A test shows that his keypad - whether connected to my controller or his controller - does behave correctly. So the verdict

While we are on the topic of the PASILL4 polar alignment scope, I have a question regarding its functionality in a 1-year-old AP1200GTO. I have noticed that the deep, long polar axis bore in the

Interesting - many thanks for the reply. Murray stardoctor5 <stardoctor5@...> wrote: Dear Murray, I use pempro to smooth tracking, but still use autoguiding.

I've bought AP1200 with installed chip G. The seller supplied also chip "I" 05/18/05. Will I receive additional useful features when replace chip ? Is it worth to do it ? Pawel

Dear Murray, I use pempro to smooth tracking, but still use autoguiding. Pempro gets my peak-peak tracking error to 1.6 arcsec (+/-0.8 arcsec) on my AP900. To keep FWHM at 2-2.5, I still have to

Am I reading this right - you have not guidance - just working on good tracking ?? stardoctor5 <stardoctor5@...> wrote: Dear Group, I finished processing 9

I have an early (ish) AP900. Is there any collective wisdom regarding the life of bearings etc. Can one say that errors start to build up beyond X-number of years ? I am aware that this will depend

Alux/Sphinx Without a lot of fussing around, I routinely get 2 arcmin or less. And I have the outdated reticle. Bryan

Hello, I'd be interested in knowing what is the expected accuracy for the PASILL4 polar scope (I am used to the Vixen polarscope ala Alux/Sphinx where an accuracy < 5 arcmin can be achieved

John, I agree...go for the 1200. For photography the more mount the better...NO QUESTION! Norm capability?

Thank you Joe for your support ! During my first session when I saw those oscillations I decreased Maxim's Aggressiveness to 1 and then Backlash to 0 for both axis. After that the Guider was working

Sorry I missed this thread earlier. Just two points I'd like to make at this belated time: 1. If AP produced a new servo controller with an Ethernet interface for connectivity, I would purchase an

Best choice I've made thus far in equipment. > Mark: your post is probably the most convincing of the discussion - exactly the set up I'm looking at, add a bunch of weight, and the mount says 'is

Now you can worry about all the other things but the mount can be This is exactly what I'm looking for - a mount that takes itself out of the equation. I've also been looking at the Losmandy Titan,

John, I started with the arrangement that you are proposing: C-11 and AP160 side by side with Casaday Tandem bar. I have an AP1200 CP2. That lasted only one year when a C-14 popped up and now

I have an ap900 and can tell you that it is a fine mount but for the little extra and if you don't need portability the 1200 would be my choice As for a pier The 1200 is larger but a piece of scrap

Hereafter my mail to AP support: Dear, I have a brand new Mach1 (bought from Baader) and experience problems: it looks as if there is a discrepancy between the longitude displayed and/or /entered

John, I now have both the AP900 and the AP1200. For your configuration, the AP900 would be at its limit. The AP1200 would handle it easily, and give you room to expand a bit in the

Hello everyone. Just testing if I can send a msg to the list. In the meanwhile, have a great X-mas and NYE break. Luca
