Ray,
Thanks for the link. It takes me to the very image of an on-screen handset that I found in the AP v5.30 driver help menu. But it's only a PNG image of a handset. How does one invoke an actual

Thanks, again, Ray. Yes, I now see the binning option in APPM. I'll try 2x2.

Re: Starting with counterweight up in SGPro

If the East and West CW-up positions overlap and CW-UP is enabled for both sides, APCC will choose to stay on the current pier side.
You would have to map the East and West CW-up meridian limits to

Marty, you can set binning on APPM's "Camera Settings" tab. However, you should setup other properties, like cooling temperature, in the manufacturer's camera control application or a third-party

Hi Marty,
Oh, okay, then you are right to disable "Recal Near Zenith at Start".

Ray -- one more question...
As mentioned above, the standard automated approach makes it difficult for me to do a Plate Solve and Recal at Zenith.
If I set up the dome/shutter for a clear shot in that

Hi Marty, I'm not sure if you've platesolved with this camera before.
I have the 6200 and find that I have to bin at least 2x2 to get a successful platesolve.

Re: Pier for 1100GTO

Hi Len,
That is a very nice pier. What you say makes a lot of sense. It looks like the sides were rolled to produce the shape.
Thanks,

Thanks, Ray. This is very helpful.
I am getting big images (17MB) but I did check 1/2 subframe and Auto Dark Subtract was unchecked. The computer itself is very fast (6-core Xeon processor at 2.7GHz)
