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

I have an AP900 and love it. I think it can handle your configuration without any problems. However, since you've got a permanent setup, I'd recommend spending the modest extra money and get the 1200.

capability? Another one who would advocate you getting the AP1200 with the weight, moment arm of the refractor, and imaging. There's just so much more the 1200 has going for it than the extra grand

John, Either scope alone, even geared-up would do fine on a 900, but I think that doing both is on the hairy edge, weight-wise. I think that the guys down at Dome C regularly go higher than this with

Hi John, Spend the extra grand and get the 1200. You'll never regret it. Kurt capability?

Yep, you can never have too much mount :) Dean

Pawel, those are known as 'ocillations', check the following; ...First try Lowering the 'Aggressivness' in the Guide Tab for that axis, this will probably eleminate the problem. ...If that doesn't

New to the AP-GTO group, and with a question: I'm planning a mount upgrade in my permanent observatory. Pier mounted. I'd like to put my C-11 and my Meade AR-6 on the same mount using a side-by-side.

Recently I've bought three years old second hand AP1200 CP3. A week ago I've tried to take my first guied pictures. The weather wasn't very good that night but I made some tests. This is my first

Hi Ron, this is assuredly true. But it has been 4 years too long. I wonder how much larger it will be than 12", to utilize the EL Biggie? BC - In ap-gto@..., "rsampsonus"

Thank you Joe for the info and thank you Ray for the definative confirmation. I will try tonight (sky willing) to get 6 cycles. Additionally Ray, I had absolutely no problems using the Polar

Dear Group, I finished processing 9 hours of exposures on NCG 2407, Caldwell 7, taken with my ST10XME, and AP nosepiece reducer, through a Meade 12" LX200R, loaded up on my AP900GTO. Using the SKY,

Hi Patrick, 6 cycles is what I like to recommend. You can get away with less if seeing is very good. -Ray
