Re: Pier flip before meridian crossing is not possible with SGP and Mach1
Bill,
I currently have no limits configured.
I would like the pier flip to happen approximately an hour early so I can make sure everything is alright before it runs unattended for the rest of the

Hi Eckard,
Thanks for your feedback!
No matter your background, some of the concepts in astro-imaging are likely to be new and require some effort to conceptualize. The meridian limits feature in

PEM not turning on via V2 ascom driver?
Question on how to run PEM on an AP1200 with CP3 and V chip.
Seems like PEM does not turn on via the driver?? or PEMPro all the time??????
Used PEMPro3 to get a nice pec curve ( I think it is good

Re: Pier flip before meridian crossing is not possible with SGP and Mach1
Hi Leo,
From looking at your configuration, I think you need to change the flip offset to a value larger than the duration of your exposures. Say you are taking 5 minute exposures, you want the flip

Ray,
I have the same problem and I have watched the video as well. I still can't figure out how I am supposed to set this up. I had Howard help me with it in a Remote Session. He couldn't figure how

Re: Power connector 900GTO
I think I got my locking threaded 2.1 x 5.5 connectors through Amazon. And then I made a couple of pig-tails to PP connectors.

Re: Power connector 900GTO
I think the 2.1 x 5.5 mm is the most elegant solution. I will do the ring connectors in the short term and fashion or purchase the 'real' connector.

Re: Power connector 900GTO
I should have clarified, on the CP3 I have that is the set up. On my CP4 I use the provided CP4 to PP cable.

Re: Power connector 900GTO
A simple 2.1x5.5mm center positive cable with appropriate ends works great. Powerwerx can make whatever you want.🙂 I run mine into a PP distribution box which is connected to whatever power source

Hi Kevin
I think Astro-Physics makes most oftheir own cables. You might be able to get them to make a modified versionof the CABLPF to put whatever kind of connectors you want on the end. Ilike the

Re: Power connector 900GTO
I'm sorry. I should have specified. I got the powerwerx sps-30dm with binding posts, not the PowerPole connectors.

Re: Power connector 900GTO
Congrats! I hope you put it to good use.
I think the Powerwerx supply has 1/4" binding terminals on the rear.
And the AP900 power cord has a cigarette lighter plug on it? CUT IT OFF!
I strongly

Re: Power connector 900GTO
You can just use something like this:
https://powerwerx.com/21mm-straight-coaxial-powerpole-adapter
It wont thread on like the stock one though. You could also use

First, the good news - I'm picking up a new-to-me 900GTO CP3 tomorrow. I got the Powerwerx 30A power supply to go with it (probably overkill). I have a rather dumb question. How does one connect the

Re: Tracking issues with AP900
You did drift alignment for 7 minutes with no drift. So theoretically you should be able to attach a camera and get zero drift with the camera, and thus by definition you will get perfectly round

If I were having this problem, here is what I would probably do, in rough order...
1. Replace the ancient CP1 with a CP4, if possible. Get atmospheric refraction correction and a bunch of other new
