Chanan Do you have APCC Standard or Pro? If you do, the included Horizons program will extract the JPL data and set up the mount for you. Demos at

This is a sample of the data I get from JPL There is RA ICRF / Apparent RA and dRA*COS D - I know there is an interface to newer versions that converts all this automatically via an interface. But i

Hi Ray, Thanks for the warning. I'll wait until you confirm it's good to do so. Thanks! cytan

Confirmed. Do not update to ASCOM platform 6.5 yet. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3:

Wait for now. I'm looking into it now. The downloaded file is not digitally signed which is a big red flag. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Andrea, For now don't worry about the limit settings in the AE tab. It serves a different purpose than the Meridian Limits. Meridian limits are soft limits that APCC uses to stop tracking and

Ray/Mojo, I think in my case it is also my level of english understanding that plays a role :-) I went several times through the documentation but I am still confused. I wanted also to check that the

Andrea, Instead, please try the AP Jog utility to see if the behavior is better. It is included with the ASCOM driver. AP Jog serves the same function as the Jog feature in SkyX. I saw weird

Hi Morris, Meridian delay is an offset from the meridian the defines the pier side to which the mount will slew the scope. It's defined by effectively adjusting the internal clock time by the

I found myself in the same position last night. Due to family commitments I have been absent from imaging for an extended period. I thought I remembered as well, but when I entered the correction,

Hi Ray, thank you for the reply. I did actually connect to the AP V2 driver, as this was the recommended way to work. the potential issue I am reporting is based on the following clues: -when the jog

You know the saying? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I'm not until I have to. You just don't need something breaking right in the middle of imaging season. -- George Prineville, Oregon

I've been struggling with the same understanding problems as Andrea. It might help to have some definitions handy. What exactly is a "meridian delay?" Suppose I start imaging an

Andrea, After looking at logs of commands sent via SkyX's native interface to the AP Mounts, I think the implementation seems to have a few issues. We’ll have to contact Software Bisque to work

Hi Andrea, Following up on the last post I just made, I looked at SkyX's jog functions and they look like they are simple slews so they should work. What makes you think the mount is not back in

Hi Andrea, It's probably not a bug in the Mach 2. Some of the commands have changed in the new firmware that the Mach 2 uses. It might take a bit of time before SkyX is updated so for jogging you

Hi Andrea, > I don't want to set meridian limits for each declination, I have a nomad set up and just need to program a fixed > delay of let say 1 hour. You can set the meridian delay on the

Hi, I am using my Mach 2 with APCC pro and skyx. Everything seems to work, except for one strange behavior: -if I use the jog buttons in skyx, the mount get stuck in a slewing mode, with a wrong

Hi All, I just got an AP900 GTOCP2 from a friend. I used this mount 10 years ago and have forgotten a few of the basics. I was looking to track Comet Neowise and completely forgot how to figure out

Hi, I have a brand new Mach2 +APCC and I am struggling with meridian limits. I am really confused about the options in AE tab (RA limits), and the Meridian TAB. .they all need to be configured? -how
