Even when the West meridian limit is East of the meridian, APPM is slewing to the zenith on the west side. Maybe I won’t be able to do that.

As far as I know, there is no restriction. We have advised our UPS driver to check in with us and will continue to use FedEx and postal as needed. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics,

I'm just curious what your shipping partners are telling you regarding "non-essential" shipping? Are everyday products still being shipped, or is shipping limited to "essential" items only? Stay

Wayne, Thanks, we like to think we are essential, as well. And so, we need to keep our employees safe and keep rolling on the best we can. Clear Skies, Marj Christen Astro-Physics,

But you guys are an “essential business”! Thanks for letting us know and making lemonade from lemons. Wayne

Hey Wayne, I want to try a model creation myself. I was going to try on the 15th, but after pressing run, it went off and nothing seemed to happen, and not wanting to waste good clear sky, I

My APCC pro also did not detect new version... so I downloaded latest version manually by altering download url for 1.8.0.5 little bit ;) thanks, jinyoung

It always comes down to an improper time issue. 1) send the mount to a known star or object, center it and do a recal on it. 2) send the mount to Park3, let it go wherever it goes. 3) check your

Discovered one issue - the plotter ignores my meridian limits and insists on pointing to the zenith/meridian from the west side, which looks straight up into the eaves of my roof. In fact it appears

Wow that NASA Sky View camera works great - successfully running a model IN THE DAYTIME!! Will save me a lot of time. 😂😂😂
