Mikko, I’m not a computer expert and hate Windows, but I understand that a driver can get corrupted. Using Luminous directly would take the AP V2 driver out of the control system, wouldn’t it?

Mikko, While you get to the bottom of the issue, one thing you can try to mitigate the failed centering is to uncheck Prevent Errant RECALs in advanced settings. This will allow an initial large

Jack, The glow tape I use is made for the live theater industry. It glows in the dark so actors can find their marks during blacked out set changes – and so they don’t bang into things in the

Thanks Don. I have Luminous so I could try that. But... even if I just use the AP V2 driver, unpark the Mount and slew it to any direction and then ask it to park again, it will miss the park

Hi Mikko, Just throwing out an idea here, but do you have an ipad or iPhone? If you do, you could buy SkySafari or Luminous (they’re pretty cheap) to control the mount and take your computer and

Hi Ray, Sorry for being dumber than rocks when it comes to Windows stuff. I'm more of a dumber than rocks Mac user :) Here's the screen shot for the firewall settings on my Win 10: I don't see

Roland, I have a big roll of the large perforated bubble wrap and I will try placing some around the weights. I hate hiding the beauty of the great machining; but my head will appreciate the bubble
