Hi Ron, For now just use the LX200 telecope type (and not the AP type) and everything will work fine. -Ray

How serious are the problems? Can you function OK for the most part, or is it a fatal flaw? I'll be doing some imaging shortly, so I want to know whether to apply the upgrade or not. Ron Wodaski The

David- The degree range of safe zone refers to the deviation from the vertical from which the scope will be prevented from pointing. You enter the range in altitude, and the mount takes care of

Mark and Chuck: Thanks for the quick response. Mark - The temperature was about 45 deg. F, the mount had been on earlier in the afternoon and then out of a powered off park for about four hours,

Hi David, Rumor has it that an upcoming software release will fix this problem. ;-) What was the ambient temperature when this "freeze" took place. How long had you been out observing? Was the

Greetings everyone: I've been a subscriber to the list for a few months and have learned a lot from all of you. I have both a Traveler and 130 EDF that I use (separately) on a 400 GTO mount (version

The Kendrick dew remover controller I believe uses a circuit which varies the duty cycle of the power applied to the heaters. That is, imagine a switch being turned on and then off repeatedly, with

Does anyone know where I might find simple electronic plans for a voltage regulator? I would like to take advantage of the 12v out on my AP900GTO for use with a Kendrick dew heater strip. Rather

Thank you Tim for your help with the setting of the "safety zone". I will try the procedure on the next clear night (here in Italy we're having a very cloudy, cold and snowy winter). All the
