Hi Bill, thanks for letting me know.. I wish I would have found this on-line before I purchased because once I have my mind set… as soon as I saw the ad I pulled the trigger. I did search a bit

Just to clarify. The new keypad software is not available for the GTOCP4. I apologize that I did not realize that this was a potential issue using P02-08 with the GTOCP4 and will have to update my

Their OAG (QHY OAG-M) bolts directly to their CFW3 series wheel. Small prism on it (8mm x 8mm) but good enough for a Lodestar x2 chip.

7 position 50mm wheel?

If you updated the CP4 to the latest version 02-08, we added an intermediate 200x button rate which changed the other rates. So you will need to load the new version of the keypad software into your

That's what I did. I set the button rate to 1200 but it slews slower that 1200 when using the buttons. I didn't confirm it but it probably slews at 600. :( Gary

That does not sound good. The main problem i see with the QHY cameras is the lack of a good filter wheel with off-axis guider capability. (unless I'm missing something) Rolando

Xentex, the similarity in weight and length between the 12.5 and 14 was one of the reasons I posted my question. I will also admit to some confusion on my part in how the Mach 2 capacity chart

On my ASI6200 it was so severe that I had one triad of the Gerd Neumann CTU maxed out and still didn't have enough to fix that portion of the chip. In my book that is way too much tilt and looks more

You can set the button rate by pressing button #6 and cycling thru the various rates from .25x to 1200x. You can also set the button rate by pressing +- button and using the < and > buttons to access

Thanks Konstantin - will give that a try!

Hi. It looks like I need to reload the image in my Mach-1 keypad - I'm getting the "Object Below Horizon" error message, but only for non-stellar / non-solar system objects. I did a search but could

Were you not able to adjust it out? Can you say what significant is? Terri

So I'll provide a counterpoint here, but I would still listen to Roland's feedback. I was thinking exactly the same thing as you, and that is, if it fits within the green zone of use conditions then

Thanks Ernie. I appreciate your comments. Robert

Hi Roland, thanks for your reply. I apologize for not being more specific. I'm referring to the "Button rate". I set it to 1200 but when I push any of the keypad buttons, the slew speed is slow. If I

Great shot. Super sharp, excellent processing.

Earlier this evening (Dec. 20) the Mach2 at a lakefront Milwaukee parking lot, set up to shoot the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. Then clouds. The good news: daytime field alignment worked. I leveled the
