Hi Gary, Tracking is excellent on my 1200 GTO. When well polar aligned I can go unlimited exposure length with PEC enabled with my Traveler. In fact all of my H-Alpha mosaics were unguided exposures.

Thanks Jerry! I'm sure you will be extremely pleased with your 155. -Ray

Ray, excellent images of M81 and M82. From the looks of the stars it appears the AP1200 does a good job of tracking. What kind of tracking accuracy are you typically getting with the mount and the

Wow Ray, very impressive work on both the imaging and on the processing. Truely a spectacular result! Very nice detail on the dust lane in M81. Can't wait to get my 155. Jerry

Here are some recent images I took with my AP equipment (AP1200GTO and Traveler mounted on 155EDFS). The first is a widefield shot of M81/82 with my ST-8E CCD camera and Traveler at f/4.5. It is 20

Happy New Year Everyone, I got the above two programs for Christmas and have been out experimenting a couple of nights. I must say that the pointing improvements derived from T-Point are quite

Hi Gary, I have an AP-1200 that is semi-permanently mounted. With reasonably accurate polar alignment and good OTA orthogonality, I get about +-2.5 arc-min over most of the sky. With T-point, I get 10

I have a 1200 mount with a 6in. f12 and ST7. With moderate attention to orthogonality and scope alignment, I get about 3-4 a-min pointing accuracy (this is the max error) at all parts of the sky. If

Pointing depends on orthoganility of your OTA on the mount and polar alignment to name but a few, but the accuracy can be very good indeed, such that an object is on the chip every time. Periodic

I'm new to your group and considering the purchase of an AP-1200 Mount. I have been unable to find any data on the pointing accuracy or guiding accuracy when using common CCD cameras such as the

Was wondering if anyone has a 10 pounder they want to get rid of? Contact me via private email at chris@.... Chris Anderson

Do you know if a 1200GTO shipped in late September would have the latest chip? Dan Knauss

Coupla quick questions... While waiting for my hand controller to return from the AP Doctor I tried hooking up DSV to the 400GTO using a Dell Latitude CPi running Win98, but never got the two to

As far as I know the only way to get around this law is to by a parallax mount with the ap gto. Scott 1999), no one subparagraph reflec- ignorance, is counts AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!

Thanks guys, Roland had said they were going to be ready to ship the new chips for the older units soon but that was about 6 weeks ago so I was just checking to see what the status was, I will wait

Hi Andy, I don't have my 1200 manual down here in Florida, but I believe the latest version is v2.06 I think Roland, and Marj will be away till after the New Year to confirm this. mark

What is the latest version of this chip 2.06 or 3.0 etc.? How can you tell if you have the latest ver? Andy Hi Scott, From what Roland has stated (In recent earlier posts on this forum). all new

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
