Thanks Marcelo, I had the API key from years ago, but I set it wrong in APCC. I had to choose ASCOM.OCH.ObservingConditions as the driver so I could select my PowerBox for temp and humidity, but use

HI Harley, I use the Ridgid tool box set to store my AP900. Really works great, nice sturdy rugged box set. FYI, Home Depot is running a sale of the 3 piece set till Christmas. Wes WA5TKU

Even though I have the Pegasus Powerbox Advance, I haven't installed it yet (waiting for the appropriate cables to arrive) so the details are missing, but look at the image 1 of the link, the pressure

tony, Thanks for posting the helpful video, especially the detailed Rubbermaid product information to facilitate ordering them. Out of curiosity, what do you recommend for storing the GTOCP5 unit and

Thanks Marcelo, I have OpenWeatherMap API key stored in my ASCOM settings, but the pressure still appears editable in APCC pro, so I do. Not sure if I am missing something somewhere.

You don't need to enter the pressure manually, follow these steps and you can get it (along with temperature and humidity as well) from the

I have been using v6.5SP1 (RC1) with no issues thus far although I am still using a 197 point APPM model from a couple of weeks ago which was created with 6.4 installed.

PS. I am using a Pegasus Astro Powerbox which has real-time temp and humidity monitoring. I enter the atmospheric pressure manually.

Some clarification: 1) ASCOM Platform v6.4SP1 is okay to still use. 2) ASCOM Platform v6.5 had a serious bug in the Transform class that would cause APPM to produce bad models. 3) You can now

Ray had noted that we should use v6.5SP1 but Karen’s email references v6.4SP1. Should we not use any version of 6.5 at this time?

Please contact George on Monday and he will help you install the encoder personality into your CP4. Rolando

Thanks for the response Ray! I am using a fairly well sorted and tied down set-up. I have a 120 mm refractor, so no mirror issues as of now. As for the rest of the randomness, who knows. I am not

Fix the personality, did you contact AP to do that or did they reach out to you? They did that for me without even having to ask, so I assume they did the same?

Hi Kevin, If you don't change anything, the model will likely work pretty well indefinitely, but some things will hinder the model's accuracy. First, to properly account for refraction, you should

Today I installed the Renishaw AEs on my AP1100GTO. I am a newbie, what do I need to do to initialize them and turn them on? Shailesh

Good tip Brian. I will do a 100 or so point model in the mean-time, before I can do the 'whole hog'

It sounds like a good idea... but you will get a handful of fails around the bright moon if you are going to go through the effort of building a large model to keep for a while, my experience

I think I will make good use of the full-ish moon to make a much bigger model.

FYI we have a 400 point model and have been using it for months <khursh@...> wrote: -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com
