Tom Do you have the polar scope already? If so, get yourself a thread gauge and measure directly on your unit. You will need one anyway if you are serious about turning threads on your lathe anyway

Hi Dale, That would be great! Again, the only changes are in the polar alignment wizard, where on step 2 you can select the full frame, center 1/2 x 1/2, center 1/3 x 1/3, and center 1/4 x 1/4. I

Oh, I have a QHY600 now. I can help test this.

Hi Steve, I'll look into this when I get a chance. In the mean time you might consider reverting to an older version of the driver. There are links to some of the older versions here (start with

Hi Tom, PEMPro 3.0.29 was released a couple weeks ago and I am waiting for feedback. The only change required was to add full support for subframes and binning in the polar alignment wizard. PEC

Doing a drift align would be a lot less work. (Grin) -Christopher Erickson Observatory engineer Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.summitkinetics.com

Hi I'd like to make a plug for the place the polar scope goes into the 600e mount. I figure I might as well get some use on my new mini lathe. I'm thinking of delrin or brass. Anyways, Once

Hi Any progress on this? I have heard that it was a couple of days away a couple of weeks ago. Thanks, Tom

Kit arrived late last night. (UPS error) Today it was hot in the dome so I just did the RA worm and drive gear. And the side gears) I hope to test tonight and see if it solves my RA kicking problem.

Hi Ray, I reset the AP900 ASCOM mount settings (AP900 and CP2) and tried it out again. Same result unfortunately...logs attached. However, I see that the Mount Type does not get populated in the Log

Ray, I can assure you that my computer clock was well synchronized. It's part of my ritual before any imaging session since a long time. If you read carefully my latest message, I unparked the mount

Yves, Nothing has changed regarding Park 1 in a long time in APCC. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3:

There is no logic error. Please re-read what i wrote. It is strictly a timing error that occurs when using computer time. All parks are derived from RA/Dec coordinates. Please use Altitude and Azimuth

Sorry Rolando and Ray but Park1 position was running well until the latest APCC version. My computer clock is always synchronized. Would you explain me why my mount was badly parked to Park5, unparked

Yves, Maybe you missed the warning message in APCC that indicates Park 1 is obsolete and not supported by Astro-Physics? (see screenshot below) If you need to move the mount to that position

Our park positions are NOT some fixed position on the gearwheel. They are calculated RA and DEC positions to be a certain distance from the meridian. Any small time error in your computer clock will

Hi Ray, This morning, the mount behaved the same as other night. APCC was the only software connected, no ASCOM driver. I parked the mount to Park1 position and the mount slewed at the opposite

Yves, I'm saying if the mount was slewing someplace other than Park 1 then there's not much that could cause that besides a communication error. Park 1 is always the same coordinates (hour angle and

Not sure I really understand your statement. I parked the mount manually via APCC. Yves

Hi Gabe, There are no plans to natively implement platesolve2. Regarding the SkyX failures please double check you followed the procedure in APCC's help file to setup in SkyX the ability to external
