Re: Connecting ASIAIR Pro to a CP4 - Mach1
Hi Lee - You touched on two of my frustrations in using the ASIAIR PRO with my older Mach 1 mount (CP3). I agree the guiding using the ASIAIR's PhD-lite is substandard compared to what the mount can

Re: AP1100, Berlebach Planet, mounting CP4
I have both an 1100 and a tripod so I will set them up and see what the clearances are both ways.
While I certainly appreciate any info, please do not go to a lot of trouble. You guys have a lot

Re: AP1100, Berlebach Planet, mounting CP4
I should have added that with the 3rd leg pointed northward, there is slightly more clearance for the telescope when it is pointing to the zenith.

Re: Chasing a StarLink Satellite
Hi Brent,
Actually, you can turn off the caching of RA/Dec in APCC, but the option is not available in the user interface. APCC comes with an application called Horizons, which can track moving

Re: AP1100, Berlebach Planet, mounting CP4
As a follow on question with a Berlebach planet.
I received the mounting ring from Berlebach, and it emphasized how large the base of the AP1100 will be in comparison to this tripod.

The gamepad is not wired to the mount. It provides input to the software that calculates the satellite position.

First night out with my Mach2. How is this for different - a StarLink satellite is a tight round dot and the stars are streaks... :) The perpendicular movement at 00:24 is me making an adjustment
