Hello Linwood, I just uploaded the current RAPAS instructions to the website. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics 11250 Forest Hills

So Linwood, in APPM you are using the SkyX driver for the camera rather than the ASCOM camera driver. If I switch to the SkyX driver, I should be able to use Pinpoint for plate solving. I probably

Maybe an extended timeout is possible, but I can't believe it's rebooting. If I were to reboot or it were to reboot on it's own, it would have to restart SGP and reconnect the focuser, the camera,

How is the mount being connected to the PC? USB or Ethernet? If it's USB make sure the hub in device manager has the power savings feature turned off. You can do this for all of the connected hubs

Dave's theory was a good theory, but I'm afraid it wasn't correct. Here was my response to him sent well after his post, so I repeat: At the time it was a god theory. The short-term quick-fix is

Very subtle problem. Nice troubleshooting. Thanks for sharing.

I want to describe an issue I’ve had with my Mach2 so that others who might run into it can avoid the frustrations I’ve had. I want to emphasize that, as with many intermittent issues, it was

Roland, After sending that first group.io call for help I spent several hours of testing and tweaking the CP5 and my home Wi-Fi network settings. I found what seems to be a very stable solution. No

Roland, Last night I adjusted the back stop using the lightest pressure I could, barely touching the backstop with one finger, and gently tightening the two screws. After doing this, all the free

Ø But… why the rather unusual, 32 bit format? ASCOM Camera drivers return a two-dimensional array of 32-bit integer values. Although I don’t think any cameras exceed 16-bit values, that

@Ray Gralak: I think your analysis is bad. If I load the image into CCDStack the image obviously is not all one level. Here’s a screenshot: The screen shot resolution got munged by Google, I

Hi Linwood, I think your analysis is bad. If I load the image into CCDStack the image obviously is not all one level. -Ray Here’s a screenshot:

@Ray said: I have no idea how you are taking your images but even a short duration image in daylight can max out the pixels. Well, the lens cover was on. But I'll do it at a wall in a fairly
