I apologize I do not know who to write but can "someone" in charge change my email address from my work one bob.bridges@... to my personal gmail account at astrobuddy508@.... Thank you, Bob

John FYI. There was a thread recently about several users not getting software update notifications. Ray fixed that with 1.8.8.17. Bryan

OK, I'm trying, but I have not been able to find where to click on the https://www.astro-physics.com/ascom page to download the driver. I downloaded the ASCOMPlatform65SP1.exe file from the

Ray, APCC showed it was up to date with version 1.8.8.5. Not sure why. I downloaded 1.8.8.17 and it solved the licensing issue. Thanks

Thanks! 👍🔭

Universal time is calculated in the mount by using the local time and the longitude that you enter. If your longitude is off, then the calculated universal time will also be off. The mount runs

Final assembly is underway, one mount is already done and more will be assembled and tested next week. Rolando

Yes, it would handle that. Rolando

The clutch on the Mach1 is a brass plate and should have grease on it. The clutch locking system uses hard anodized pressure plates against a hard anodized hub. These should be lubricated also. It

Thank you Mike and Ray. Ray - I will email the requested files to you. Mike - In answer to your question "Parking - click to cancel" never stops even though the mount has apparently reached the Alt Az

Arun, Check for imbalance. Rev Q is very old and does not have integral gain to overcome a tiny positional error due to heavy imbalance. Park 3 might work because the weight is

Peter, there is something you can do about that infestation working its way up the pier, but it requires professional help. 😁 Jeff

Questions: 1. Does the driver say Parked or Unparked when you see these tiny movements? 2. If you manually slew the mount using the driver's buttons, then park it using the driver's Park (to Az/El)

Well, you are hanging that extra 20 kg out there a good 300mm over where it would be "normally" so it acts like twice that. But the mount should handle it. I had a 300mm F7.2 Newtonian weighing a

Arun, Alt/Az position may appear to change slightly because it gets calculated from these polled values from the mount: RA, Dec, and Local Sidereal Time. Although Dec is constant when parked, RA

This works for me. An additional camera and EFW are on the refractor, total weight at least 75 lbs.

Curious. A time zone spans a distance in longitude. If I place identical cell phones, Ipads, GPS modules or what ever, at both sides of the time zone, will they read the same time or will they roll

Bumping this in the hope that someone has some experience here: issue/Problem statement: Mount will not indicate is is parked at Alt Az position although it gets very, very very close. The AP V2 ASCOM

Hi Rolando / Marj / Karen, I was wondering if there are any updates for the 1100 production run? Been about a month :) Thanks, Pete (eagerly but patiently awaiting one)

I have stripped head back down greased surfaces and put back together all sorted pheww who knows what the last owner was thinking grrr Thanks steve
