Hello, If anyone is using CCDAutoPilot with an AP mount I would be interested in hearing the particulars of how you set it up ? Regards Bill -- William R.

I have a permanently mounted polar-aligned AP1200, received in October 2006, with GTO KEYPAD Version v4.12. If I power up (auto-connect NO) from a random position and then synch on a known star, the

Hello Steve, www.backyard-astronomer.com/usb2serial.exe HTH. I always get the warning that it is going to blow up my computer or some similar error but never have had any problems with this at

I don't yet have my AP900, but I have seen many issues on other scopes such that handset use while the SW is running can confuse the SW. Most of the scope protocols don't send handset changes

I have had nothing but problems if I unpark my AP 1200 with the keypad, control it with The Sky6 / MaxPoint, then park it with the keypad. I haven't figured out why, but every now and then parks in

Michael, I have several of these Radio Shack USB/Serial adapters but had continuous trouble which I eventually traced to their driver which was not WinXP compatible. At least that was my best guess

Craig, From the manual: The two axes assemble quite easily with...four 1/4-20 X 1" SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREWS. You can see the heads of two of the four screws in the photo at the top of the Mach1GTO

Owners of the Mach1GTO, I am interested in this mount for many reasons but one is its ability to separate into the RA and the Dec housing giving it a nice portable weight. How exactly does the mount

Does anyone have experience with BASIC programming to control mount functions through the RS232 port such as parking or setting the tracking rate to zero. I would like to write a closedown sequence

Hello all, I am making the transition form a G11 with Gemini to a Mach1GOTO. Actually the G11 is sold and I am waiting for AP to call me about my Mach1GOTO. The G11 was permanently mounted on an

I can get the elements from space-track, but how do I get my AP1200 to track. I would like to attempt to track the ISS. I am using MaxPoint with the ASCOM driver 4.1.25 and The Sky 6. The Sky has

Thank you Steve, David

Welcome David, Look under technical support for your version firmware for the hand controller. http://www.astro-physics.com/ Steve

Just joined, have just purchased a used AP1200, 2002 model. Have lots of questions. How can I down load the manual? Thanks for any help. David...

Kyle, Forget what you know about the Gemini. These are two entirely different creatures. There is no modeling in the AP mount. If you want to build and save a model, get either MaxPoint or T-Point.

Thanks again, I think I'm trying to make it too complicated. I had it out last night to put it through its paces and it did very well connected to Starry Night Pro. With regard to sync and recal,
