But wait - how do I file for an exemption? Roland doesn't make 16" reflec- tors. And anyway, the dog ate my copy of the code book, so I can plead ignorance, right? But wait - I'm on the *waiting

Hi Scott, From what Roland has stated (In recent earlier posts on this forum). all new mounts are shipping with the new eeprom chip in the Servo-Motor Controller. Very soon, AP states that they will

Anyone know the status of the new software/hardware for the apgto? thanks Scott

We and several of our customers have 1200 mounts in remote operated observatories that are exposed to the full range of temperatures and conditions. No problem. Roland does advise if you are putting

According to my copy of the A-P Mafia Code Book (published in 1999), no one is allowed to place non A-P OTAs atop A-P GTO mounts (sec. IV, subparagraph 2). The Code also states that the punishment for

I noticeed quite few of members of the group with c-14 on GOTO 1200 mount. I want to mount old (1986) Rolands F/8 refractor on top of C-14 using Ken Dauzat rings,I would like to share experince with

Happy Holidays to everyone there at A-P and please don't catch a cold or the flu while you're taking that well-deserved vacation, because I would like to have Santa-UPS bring that 1200 GTO as soon as

Company 7 has custom cases for the AP mounts made to order. They made a set (two cases) for my 900 GTO, and a matching case for my 155. Very attractive, velour lined, differing densities of underlying

Hi All, Does anyone have any idea who has or can make shipping boxes that will fit the two halves (separated) of the AP1200 mount? It sure would make it easier to transport to remote

Roland, Marj, or anyone else, Thanks Marj for the info on the Digital Sky. I have what maybe a stupid question about the black RA ring on the 1200 mount. If The RA ring is set for a star's

I had an opportunity to get my "second" light with the AP1200 and the C-14. This time seeing conditions were much less favorable, with the images dancing all around. However, even under these
