Great, thanks. Rolando

Is there a way to completely clear an APPM-generated model from APCC? I see i can disable pointing and tracking, but i want to remove the model completely from APCC thanks -- Brian Brian

I just did that upgrade myself just a few weeks ago and had no problems. It installed alongside APCC, so you'll have both available until you're sure of the switch. I embarrassingly was

I am about to receive my Mach2, which includes APCC Pro. So far I use a Mach1 with APPC Standard installed in the image computer, so what is the procedure to upgrade to the Pro version, can it be

Wow, Joe, that’s a gorgeous field. Well done. Karen C AP

I did my best from personal experience. --- Mike

Already done. I pointed him to the keypad maintenance doc.

"Hi all Just acquired a second hand. AP1200 gto I’ve carefully polar aligned mount with polar scope , I’ve put in the relevant lat and longitude ( 51.40.05 degrees north , -3 .14,37 W. Uk South

Don't plug the Dec cable into the RA gearbox. No purpose for that. Just plug the RA cable into the Dec gearbox and see if that motor runs at the sidereal rate. See if the light turns yellow. A) If

OK, I didn't thin that I can move the control unit so that both cables reach when swapped. I'll try that one more time today when I get home. If that fails, should I just call to 815-282-1513 number?

I had some good luck this afternoon following the hints below and writing my own set of options for the solve-field program that drives ANSVR. I set my own values for field width to 25

Good stuff, thank you! I'll see if I dig out the failed plates and try them out. -- Morris Jones, Monrovia, CA BridgeMojo Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers Mojo's

Also, try increasing the Downsample parameter to 2 or 4 Bryan

Mojo For ANSVR, the most important factor is setting the field of view. For other solvers, like ASTAP, there are other factors, but I use ANSVR almost exclusively; although ASTAP may be faster.

Thanks Ray, that's a point, but in fact I may not know my image scale exactly. I can get a number from successful plate solves. Maybe that actually is exact enough. The measurement from PEMPro

Thanks Rolando

Excellent result! So many galaxies, billions and billions ... Rolando

Thanks very much Stuart.

What a great shot Joseph!!! Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/ -- Stuart http://www.astrofoto.ca/stuartheggie/

Good morning, Using my Mach1 and APCC-Pro/APPM I took this image over four nights without guiding. I used a Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4 and modified Nikon D800e to collect about 7.5 hours of sub images.
