Observatory for sure but I also plan to 3D print a case for it. As I mentioned I have a couple of these already. One is 12v that I use for my equipment and the other 24v I use with a different mount.

My understanding is that the AP key pad can control an electronic focuser. Has any tried this with the built in e-focuser of the mewlon?

I have the StarGPS module for AP CP2/CP3/CP4/CP5 controllers. Works precisely as advertised and Chris Carson is a pleasure to deal with. All-in-all, I am not sure it is a critical investment unless

Eric, Yes, StarGPS does have specific instructions for AP mounts. Here’s the link: https://www.stargps.ca/manual.htm#astro I forgot that another suggestion they make is to switch to UTC

Another good suggestion to investigate. Thank you.

Eric, It’s been a long time since I’ve used my Mach1. But as I recall, there’s a setting in the HC that tells it where to look for time/date/location data. It can be set to look to the HC

There are lots of options out there. I've used this with APCC in the past: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTU9KTF/ It uses the U-blox 7 GNSS receiver internally. With Windows 10, you can plug it

It was easy to find. Thanks. Oh, I’ve already fired off a question to them asking about compatibility with the CP5. By the way, what does “set your controller properly” mean, exactly?

Eric, I hope it works for you. I forgot to give you a link. Here it is: https://www.stargps.ca/ I don’t have or use APCC so my StarGPS just connects directly to my old CP3 controller.

Woody, This sounds like the ideal suggestion. That you. Correct, the CP5 does not have a 6V port. Regards, Eric

Eric, I don’t know about APCC, but I’ve used a StarGPS for years with my CP3. When you order one, you specify your mount and they supply the GPS module with the proper adapter cable. It

Ha! Fair enough. No, I’m looking for a basic USB module.

Eric Do you have a need for something beyond just setting the location for APCC? If not, then a phone app with GPS, followed by manual entry is about as basic, yet functional, as you can get.

Howdy, can someone out there recommend a basic GPS module that plays well with APCC? I understand it can be any that outputs NMEA, but surely one of you has a basic model they have been using and

When/If mine dies on me, this is what I'd replace it with: https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-GST220A24-R7B-MEAN-WELL-Switching/dp/B07CTVHYT7. A reputable brand, industrial-type model (high efficiency,

I don't have an Eagle 4, but GPS devices are generally serial devices that spit out NMEA sentences at 4800 bps. COM devices under Windows are exclusive devices - generally only 1 app at a time can

Well I've got the Environmental sensor data from the Eagle ECCO2 connected into APCC, but not th e GPS. I've tried all the COM ports but it either times out aor says COM port not available. Anyone

Bob How did you make and install "solid mirror locks"? Also, I assume you still built a pointing model- correct?

C:\ProgramData\Astro-Physics\APCC or just the entirety of C:\ProgramData\Astro-Physics\ if you want both APCC and A-P ASCOM driver settings to be on the other PC.

Just noting…. From the Amazon page…. > -IN-DOOR USE ONLY! Presumably it is in a case , or used in an observatory, etc. I would be a bit concerned with dew when used “outside”. Afaik the
