Roland and Marj: It seems that Ray is not interested in fixing this problem, and would rather blame Microsoft (inappropriately, and incorrectly) for this problem. A-P -- there is a huge problem with

Thanks for the history lesson. Fix the software and stop blaming Microsoft.

Bitmaps, the class in .Net Framework, is not the same as the low-level bitmaps in windows that I think you are talking about. And it's not 30 years old... only about 20 years old, which is why the

I believe that may be because you are pointed very near to the NCP. Try slewing away from the pole and see if the box gets checked.

The problem IS NOT on the .Net Framework, Ray. The camera works perfectly fine with other software that uses the same framework. Bitmaps... which PEMPro uses, should be suspect. Why the hell does

Bill, The problem is that the .NET framework cannot allocate enough memory with a camera with that many pixels. It could be fixed by Microsoft increasing the .NET Framework GDI+ memory limit above

Is non-functional. The frames even binned 4x4 do not work. The software is broken and a LOT of people depend on this to work. We need immediate fixes!

I'm using AE's and also have APPM running - but only "Enable Tracking Correction" is on by default. Should I also have "Enable Pointing Correction" on?

David, I just received my Mach 2 a few days ago and I'm very happy to report that the learning curve is minimal. Then again, I'm an IT person. The most trouble I have had was an Intel i5 windows

I have an AP1200 and I was planning to buy APCC Pro, but I was laid off from my part-time copy editing job, so hobby funds are scarce at the moment. I know APCC will improve pointing accuracy, but I

I believe if you raise your altitude axis, turn the altitude knob clockwise about 1/4 turn, you will see your RA drift diminish. You can then go from there to null it out. Roland

Roland, I ran the clock test for 12 hours and there was no drift in the time. That would indicate the crystal oscillator is well within the accuracy required since a 0.1% drift would be 43 seconds in

I've opted not to buy Pro while it was available discounted (on a time limit). Being purely a mobile setup/takedown observer, I haven't uncovered any use cases where I actually needed the Pro

Hi Steve Just a comment on your pier: Make surethat the top of the pier is perfectly flat and that you can not feel anywobble when you sit the RA axis in place and try to rock it back and forth.Once

You can do modeling, unguided imaging and a lot more. Roland

I actually have the same question. And I have been doing everything just as Steve said. I could have written that email 😎 Also lovin this mount. Mikey

Hey Guys, Recently purchased a AP1100 mount and am quite happy with everything so far. Curious about the advantage of upgrading to the Pro version of the APCC software. Been busy modifying my pier

Have you looked at the help file? If there is something not clear it would be good to know so that we can improve it. Thanks, -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Dear All, AP 1100 mount, APCC Pro We are trying to sort out meridian limits. There seem to be "mount" meridian limits, and "APCC meridian limits". We believe: --Mount limits apply to slews --APCC
