Hi all, I configured 216 points for APPM tracking, and my target is M8 which is about 13 degrees above the horizon with 2 redwood trees on the east side and street light on the south. M8 is about

Most excellent! I just added it to my imaging list. -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image Gallery - http://astrophoto.net/wp/image-gallery/ Astrobin -

I ran across this little jewel a few weeks ago while hunting up something to image with the Mach2 and 160EDF refractor, using unguided exposures. The open cluster NGC 6791 has a dozen or so bright

Yes, slewing into the fixed limit will turn on the yellow light. Send the mount back to Park3, manually orient the axes to Park3 position, and you are good to go. Rolando

Dean suggests: "Check the input voltage to the CP4." That is exactly what I was going to suggest as well. John A. Sillasen

Some times a monochrome image is hard to beat! This is an excellent example… Bob Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I’ve had power supplies fail. I’ve also had cables and connectors fail. It’s worth checking.

Have you measured the voltage that is getting to the mount? -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image Gallery - http://astrophoto.net/wp/image-gallery/ Astrobin -

Well, it does no harm by checking whether it is a power supply problem. They have been known to fail. First thing is to put a multimeter on it and make sure it's spitting out the correct voltage. The

Try one or more CP4 power cycles and "Resume from Park X" Virus-free. www.avg.com

I have everything running from the same power unit, this since the day 1 two years ago. Nothing has changed and everything else still works fine. I’m not planning to have a separate power for the

There is also some mysterious limits function in the CP4 that I have encountered in the past that I don't yet fully understand when using the CP4 and just the hand controller. It might manifest in

Make sure you have enough voltage from your battery or power supply, and that you have nothing else running off that supply. Make sure that your cable from the power source is as short as possible.

Check the input voltage to the CP4. -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image Gallery - http://astrophoto.net/wp/image-gallery/ Astrobin - https://www.astrobin.com/users/deanjacobsen/

This started a week ago when I would suddenly get a Yellow warning light with a random slew when connecting the mount with the SGP. My first thought was that the control unit has condensated again but

Hi All, Question arose about the image being wide field, and whether it was using the 130GTX. I had to go back to the original Fits files and found that the camera was not STL11K, rather it was the

Yep, I think that answers my question. Now (like I said earlier) need to wait for the rain to stop and the clouds to clear (or, at least the rain to stop!) Thanks Ray.

Hi Mikey, See if this video helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBUj1WgFf3k -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3:

I’m pretty sure I did that but I’ll need to check again once it stops raining! I had the delays set but when I tell Stellarium to skew to the object it flips the OTA into the normal orientation
