Yves, I'm saying if the mount was slewing someplace other than Park 1 then there's not much that could cause that besides a communication error. Park 1 is always the same coordinates (hour angle and

Not sure I really understand your statement. I parked the mount manually via APCC. Yves

Hi Gabe, There are no plans to natively implement platesolve2. Regarding the SkyX failures please double check you followed the procedure in APCC's help file to setup in SkyX the ability to external

Great. I'll try to look into this issue next weekend. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3:

Yves, If the meridian delay is 0 then you probably mistook a multipart move as going somewhere besides Park 1. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Is Platesolve2 support on the roadmap for APPM? I know that it does use Platesolve2 via SGP, but I'd rather not have SGP as a go between since it's not installed on all my systems and have had issues

Ray, You were correct about ASCOM 6.5. I reverted back to 6.4 SP1 and APPM is happily working again! Thanks again, Gary

Ray, The meridian delay set to "0" appeared at 03h16 The park message appeared at 03h28 There is a 12 minutes difference between both. Regards, Yves

Gary, I think there is a bug in ASCOM 6.5 beta. That would explain why going back to 1.8.2.1 didn't help. Luckily your data is not corrupted by this. What's happening is that the ASCOM precession

Hi Ray, Thanks for the reply. I recently installed 6.5, so that is probably the cause. I'll install 6.4 SP1 and will let you know if that solves the problem. Gary

Yves, APCC can force the mount into a counterweight-up position first which, depending on the start position, might make it seem like it's going the wrong way. If you don't think that's the case,

Hi Gary, Have you updated the ASCOM platform lately? The version you should be using is 6.4 SP1. Do not use the 6.5 beta. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

I got mine off - waiting grease. It shipped the day I called in the order but UPS didn't make it yesterday. (par for them). It's on the truck for delivery today so I may be able to re-grease tomorrow.

Good idea Dean...I took it on faith that the upgrade had been done...although I was given the 'old' chip, so it was upgraded to 'something' :-) thanks..

Hi Ray, I've successfully used APPM to create models in the past for my 16" F/8 on a 1600 mount. Recently, I went to create a new model and thought I'd first upgrade to 1.8.3.1 from 1.8.2.1. After

Hi Ray, This morning at the end of my imaging session I parked the mount at Park1 position as usual but the mount was slewing at the opposite direction (Park4 or Park5). I stopped the slew and

Hi Karen, Thanks for the photos and the instructions! It really helps us klutz's (or the cut twice measure once guys :) ) cytan

Hi Fernando, I’ve attached directions to remove the auto-adjusting gearbox that you have on your Mach1. Once you have the gearbox off you may proceed with re-greasing. Karen

You have the latest gearbox. Karen will send you instructions how to disassemble it. Rolando

Those fasteners are not for adjustment. I posted a series of photos just 2 days ago how to disassemble the gearbox. I will post them again. Rolando
