Hi Ray, I ran APCC Pro 1.8.0.5. When I check for updates I get the answer No updates to APCC are available. Do I have to be connected to a mount? Konstantin Konstantin v. Poschinger Hammerichstr.

Hi Ray, My APCC 1.8.0.4 doesn't see the update when I press "Check for updates". This has happened with the previous version as well. Is there any log you'd like to have to see what the problem may

Glow tape is a great idea in addition to your wanting to raise everything with a pier extension. I use both on my Mach 1, although I never considered putting the tape on the CounterWeights.

Hi Ray, trying to create a simple model with my Horizon and Meridian limits turned on. It generates a set of points but fails every solve. When I manually try a solve in APPM (using Pinpoint) I get

Hi Brian, When you run APCC it will indicate a new version is available in the title. Then from APCC's help menu you can use Check for updates to get the download link. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC

Running APPC 1.8.0.4 with GTO4 on my Mach1 it appears there are only four rate settings now; formerly there were several more?

You will not lose any settings by upgrading. Even uninstalling and reinstalling won't affect settings. The changes are all bug fixes resulting from user feedback. The changes can be found at this

Jack, Ray, I’ve been meaning to do the same. Ray will the user lose all their horizon, meridian settings etc. If they upgrade to the new version? Is there a step by step instruction on the how to

Jack May not be the entire answer to your problem but..... Look for some glow in the dark tape called SAFETY TAPE. It is a light green cream color and with a few seconds of exposure to a light or

Hello astro-nuts, We are delighted to share the new dates for NEAF and NEAIC: NEAF2020 on Sept 12-13 (Sat & Sun) at Rockland Community College, Suffern, NY NEAIC2020 on Sept 14-15 (Mon & Tues)

Splendid! Still, I would wrap some bubble wrap around the weights just in case. Roland

Roland, How is the keypad upgrade project going? This new keypad feature was something that tipped the balance in deciding whether to purchase a Mach2 and is definitely something that I will use. --

Thanks ray, I found a simple converter for my star atlas, old school. I guess I am going to have to be better at online digital catalogs. plus I just passed by that statement in the manual not

Hi Tom, From the keypad's manual: Important Note: When you enter custom R.A. and Dec. coordinates they should preferably be entered as precessed coordinates (JNow or Topocentric coordinates). The

Roland, I eliminated the shaft extension and 10# weight yesterday and reversed the order on the 24# and 30# weights. Now all I have to do is wair for the skies to clear to try out moving around in

So , to be clear, if I am out in the field and using my CP4 and hand controller with the older firmware (not mach 2 new) and I am using an older atlas that has J2000 coordinates I need to convert them

Hi Mikko, The mount's coordinates are JNow. And it does make a difference. -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com/apcc-pro Author of PEMPro V3:

Well actually my original issue is still unsolved, meaning the Platesolve not working out of blue after being flawless for years. What I do see is that the mount coordinates don't match the SG Pro
