Hi Robert, I use SkyX with APCC Pro on my 1200 and 1100AE mounts. SkyX does not have any problems slewing to targets, so it's something in your setup that is misconfigured. 1. Are you connecting

For those that use a FocusLynx focuser, Jeff informed me the temperature gathered by the hub for focus compensation is available through ASCOM and can be used by APCC-APPM.

Great, glad it works for you. If you didn't have an internet connection, I have a small and easy Arduino-based electronics project and ASCOM driver that can add an air pressure sensor to any

Hello, I have a problem that I am wondering if others have run into this. I have an AP 1200Gto mount upgraded to GTOCP4 and I control it with APCC Pro. My desktop computer (32 gb of ram) has

Thanks. I'll set 30 degrees as a compromise.

Thanks Roland and Ray. Larry

In my opinion you should model as low as you can. It will improve the higher points, especially if you are going to do unguided imaging. Rolando

I find that its a waste of time in my area to image anything below 45 degrees due to pollution/refraction. Is it okay to limit APPM to above 45 degrees or will the model be improved by modelling below

That is correct! It does not need to know the worm period. Just use PEMPro's Mount Wizard to create an instance of an Astro-Physics mount. There is a mount type for the "AP GTOCP5 Controller". That

Hi Ray, I just got a Planewave 12.5 (to eliminate the possible mirror shift with the C11 Edge I had :)). Haven't had a chance to do a pointing model yet as I am still trying to get the collimation

That is correct. The worm gears are the same as the Mach1 by the way. Same time for 1 revolution. Rolando

It has been a while since I used PemPro and I only intended to use it right now for polar alignment. The polar alignment wizard does not need to know the worm cycle, correct? Larry

There is no need for PEMPro. The Mach2 is an encoder mount and does not have periodic error. There is nothing to measure and no PE curve to load into the CP5 controller. Rolando

Hi Larry, The Mach2 has encoders, which means no periodic error. What are you hoping to do? -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

In preparation for receiving my Mach2 next week, I am updating PemPro V3. One item I need to enter is the worm period. It defaulted to 480.00 but I do not know if this is a default value or the

Hi John I had one more thought while tossing and turning last night. It could be that your motor box is not fully fastened to the RA axis and thus can rock back and forth. This would be the case if

Hi Tony, You probably are not doing anything wrong. However, if you are not using a pointing model, then a plate solve and sync might only provide excellent pointing accuracy near the area of the

If you're not perfectly polar aligned then objects far away from that first star could be left-right-up-down or out of the field altogether. Secondly, if the object is on the other side of the

Tony, I use the precise pointing feature inside voyager.it will plate solve the first sleep to target and then move the mount to center target .once centered it will sync to target. Mike

Great and thank you Dale, it works perfectly, as long as I have an internet connection which is the case for me. Dominique
