Thank you, Rolando. That sounds great! I like fast and accurate. It’s simple, too. I was thinking that there may have been some plate solving involved, but this is much better. Don Don Rudny

You can dither all you want. That does not affect the custom rates that are calculated and applied to follow the actual sky motion above you. Think of it this way: If you have Sidereal rate set, but

Wow.

Very impressive... amazing actually. I am really looking forward to hearing more about this. It is definitely something I could use. I am among those who have cameras that require that I dither my

Thanks much, George. Best Regards, Bruce

The keypad is independent of all other apps such as APCC or plate solving software. The CP controller will accept commands from all apps connected to it. Roland

The idea is to center a star on a crosshair. When the star is centered via the keypad buttons you simply press Enter on the keypad and the position is recorded in the mount. The crosshair can be an

Roland, this looks exciting, any ETA for release? This seems like a great feature for us mobile (non fixed installation) users. Given how easy and fast this is, 5 minutes/hour of object

Hello, All this work by Roland and his team is great. I would have liked to have the keyboard at the same time as my Mach2 to test these routines from the start. But it does not matter because with

Good questions Don. You and I have similarcircumstances. I have an 1100 GTO with a CP4 and Keypad(both purchased in March, 2017), but the software has never been upgradedin either. I am not even sure

Hi All, After following this thread, I am still unsure of how this is done. Sounds like a revolutionary system. I have an AP1100 with CP4, so I think I just need to upgrade the CP4 firmware and buy

Thank you/ good to know it will work on my AP1100 and Mach 1 Appreciate the follow up information

I did a bunch of testing this spring with my 175 refractor/1600AE mount in our Hawaii observatory. Was able to get easily 20 minute exposures for many hours on the same object until it went too low in

Understood and I appreciate the apology. I look forward to learning more about this as I prefer to abandon my finicky PHD guiding.

It wasn't meant that way, and i apologize if it came across that way. This routine requires the keypad and cannot be easily done any other way. It would probably take me another year to turn it into

ok- I don't doubt that; your efforts and ingenuity is greatly appreciated; no reason to get snippy; a simple no would have sufficed to someone who bought two of your mounts or the suggestion that

It's a keypad routine. We spent a great deal of time developing this program for the keypad. I can't even count the number of hours that the three of us put into development (Charles - keypad

One solution to your short hand controller cord is to get an extension from AP. I have one I got about 10 years ago that adds 25' extension to the hand controller. It has the matching male and female
