Larry you may just need to download the ascom drivers, which are a separate install? check their website for that download -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Thanks Ray. Looks like I need to contact Astromi as the only choice I have in their setup is serial and there should be an ASCOM choice also. Larry

Hi Ray, Stupid, I am ... with the ASCOM Observing Conditions Driver of the Powerbox that goes without saying. I jumped into my observatory to check and it works perfectly. It remains for me to Pegasus

Ray, does APCC need to be connected for it to communicate with MGBox or is it ok as I am doing trying to connect at my desk? Larry

Hi Ray, I ask myself the same question but I do not really see what Pempro comes to see in this story. I imagine that it is rather the settings of APCC. With the Mach2 and its through cables, an

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the reason for wanting a fan-less mini-PC. Is it power consumption, vibration, air currents (but there will be thermal currents regardless), or something else?

Hi Larry, Yes, sorry! There are so many questions about PEMPro recently here instead of where they should be, on the CCDWare forum. Yes, and you must select the MGBoxV2 ASCOM driver, which is a type

I assume you meant APCC, not PemPro. The only two choices I have are THUM and ASCOMObservingConditions. Did I configure it incorrectly? Is the ASCOM choice the right one? The MGBox setup

Ray, I have been using APCC for some time using the THUM temp sensor. On your recommendation I now have the MGBox V2 sensor. It has been since the beginning of APCC that I started using THUM so I do

Hi, I get PEMPRO’s sometimes confusing target star selection, a lot as well. I was out there last night for very many hours just to get a PEMPRO polar align on my AP-1200/CP4. There were

Gotcha. Thanks again for the quick response!

For me, most of the time a remote PC just simply won't work. I enjoy doing occultations with my two QHY174M-GPS cameras. Mini-PC's don't have the raw horsepower to do that and also tolerate the

I just put the cover on the scope, but before I image tonight I’ll use your guidance to make sure it actually updated. Thanks!
