Hi Wayne, No, that is not pertinent at all. But, what do you have set for the "Action when limit is reached" on APCC's Meridian tab? That should be set to "Just Warn". -Ray

Roland Great post and great trip! Roberto

Just like the Hubble. Need a backup! Don Anderson

Yeah, I would call it a dead cable since the RA went dead once you plugged the dec cable into it, so the problem followed it. It wouldn't surprise me for a such an old mount. I maintain a 1200GTO for

Unfortunately the RA branch of the y-cable is too short to make it to the DEC motor connector. I may be able to pull off the CP3 and get the cable to connect to the DEC motor. I did put the DEC

Now that I got the AP1100 I realize the manuals I have are out of date. I almost never use paper, I vastly prefer electronic, I can read it on my phone, my kindle, my computer, etc. Is there anywhere

Hi all, Some musings from my weeks of testing in Hawaii: I just got back from Hawaii where I was able to spend a lot of time testing the guiding function of a 1600 encoder mount with an AP 175mm

No need to unlock gear mesh or loosen clutches. Just leave it fully set up and go ahead and move it. Roland

Don't worry about it! The mount can be moved as you show. I too setup and tear down for each imaging session. I have carried out to the back yard and setup my AP900 all in one piece (minus the CWs and

Yes, I've used Voyager with the ASI camera driver too. But APCC/APPM can't. At this time, it can only use a native camera driver accessed through SGP, TSX, Maxim DL, etc., and soon NINA. The ASI

Linwood You're overthinking this. Your AP mount is rugged. Transporting it as you do there is no damage to anything. Sure, if the tripod and mount tumbled off the hand truck onto concrete there is the

Fwiw, I use JMI Wheeley Bars to move my AP1200 setup (which carries a 6" - 10" refractor depending on the season, so it's pretty loaded up) in and out and all set up with wiring, scope and all the

OK, before I do something stupid.... I image in my back yard, about 70' or so travel, but it has to go in and out each night, nothing can be left set up. This means hauling a lot of stuff in and

Voyager can use native QHY and ASI camera drivers. I use native QHY driver with Voyager using QHY600M camera without issues. Peter

I suppose one advantage would be the ability to use a camera's native driver at all times, instead of sharing a probably lower performance or non-existent ASCOM driver. That would be nice in Voyager

Ok, thanks, I saw it. I was looking for a big notice saying SIGN HERE (it's in the text itself).

A clarification - yes, multiple apps can access a camera through an ASCOM driver, as the ASCOM driver acts as the arbiter, or proxy, for all client applications that want to talk to the device (mount,

George is right. The link is about halfway down the Availability tab, in the answer to the questionHow do I sign up? Karen
