You could go to Yahoo or Excite etc. and search for hard carrying cases- - you can even get one custom made. Regards, Vince Unger will not before for you help!

I have been looking for a case for my AP400GTO and a source that just turned up was a big music store. They have a lot of different cases for transport of musical equipment for bands that go out on

What's klunky about the DSV focus control mode (I don't have the software yet)? Perhaps Charles can adapt his software per your suggestion below. From: C. G. Anderson [snip]

Hi Chris JADP... I went through the new car thing this spring. Wanted a wagon rather than a tuck or van. For me, the best all around choice was the VW Passat Variant ( wagon ). Excellent headroom

Mine is 50 feet, with zero problems. If you were to replace the battery with one of the 110 to 9 volt things, you would free yourself from worry, I would think. I use one of those for another item,

I use a JMI NGF-S focuser on a variety of scopes (SCT, refractors) from the comfort of my family room while imaging and controlling the scope remotely. I just run a long 6-conductor phone cable out to

Very funny! Actually I had one last year. It's one of the best Astro Car I think.... help!

I am attempting to set up a network between my comfy living room computer and my freezing cold observatory computer. I think I can work out all the bugs as far as imaging and data transfer are

Any suggestion for a hard case to hold my AP900GTO mount? I have a AP600EGTO that fits perfectly in a Pelican case#1650 however it will not work with the 900GTO! I'm thinking about the Pelican#1620

Never mind! R.A. Backlash Adjustment - I found it in the manual the instant I sent the message. What a dummy! Thanks, Gary Jensen

Barb If you use a polar alignment scope you can get pretty close. However, you should always drift align to make sure. It doesn't matter if your scope is orthogonal or not to align you polar axis

John, Thank you for the instructions on correcting orthogonality errors. Could you (or anyone else) comment on how polar aligning and orthogonality issues can be addressed when using a sided-by-side

Has the problem with T-Point & The Sky been resolved? I see that they have a new update patch for The Sky (5.00.09), but it still doesnt support our AP Mounts. As for shims are concerned, I took

FYI Pop cans are around .004". A very nice Shim Stock set can be had from McMaster-Carr (562) 695 2449 Part no 9301K4 ($23.76) contains 10 pieces of brass shim stock 8"X12" from .001 thru .020

Re orthogonality. Here are a few hints: * Take a thin can (eg., cat food) and cut it with scissors or tin snips to make shims. This material is thin (about .012 inch) and easy to use. You can cut

The Parallax rings I bought for my C8 didn't even fit. Have you thought about CCD imaging? If you use rotating rings, would you have a problem keeping the x and y axis of the chip aligned properly

Hi, I am putting a 10" MN on a gto mount and I have a chance to get some parallax rotating rings at a good price, I have read about othoganality problems using rotating rings and would like to know
