Re: APPM Model Creation Problem
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.

Re: Astro-Physics status during IL shut-down
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.

Re: Astro-Physics status during IL shut-down
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?

Re: Mach1 Unable to Find Home Position Suddenly
Thanks Roland, i'm trying to digest this as I don't recall ever changing anything after the day light saving change. Nor would I know where to do that. Here's a screen capture from a few minutes ago.

Re: APPM Model Creation Problem
Ray, think I figured out I’ve been doing the meridians wrong! I think I need to run the west limits except I move the scope East to the point it’s not going under the eaves. So the west limits

Hello astro-nuts,

Re: Mach1 Unable to Find Home Position Suddenly
The mount will always park according to the LST that the ASCOM driver calculates based on your time, date, location data. If it parks wrong, look at your LST number. Park2 and 3 are always 6 hours

Re: APPM Model Creation Problem
Yes the neat thing is you connect the mount and it physically moves the mount to each point.

Re: Mach1 Unable to Find Home Position Suddenly
Thanks Rolando, I have checked those a few times now. And if one of them would be incorrect, wouldn't the Mount always miss the position by the same 15 degrees or what not. Now the mount occasionally

Re: Mach1 Unable to Find Home Position Suddenly
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
