Peter, my memory on this isn't the most current but it seems to me that you must issue a goto command to trigger the flip. My AP900GTO (older in every respect) will happily track through the meridian

Jim, if the object is rising when you think you are pointed due South, then you are actually looking East of South (this presupposes that you know which way is up in the eyepiece, harder than it seems

On my AP900GTO CP2 there is an Option 8 on the keypad main menu that you can toggle to STOP. Stuart

In fact, I was out last night with my AP130EDT on the AP900GTO CP2 (which was how I rediscovered the option to turn ON tracking since mine was set to STOP on start-up). Was a gorgeous night up here in

If you use a program like CCD-Commander, you will calibrate once and forget about it. It handles the flip and everything. Stuart

All - I looked on the website and didn't find anything quickly so sorry if this was discussed before ... I have Version 'D' of the firmware in my CP2 controller on the AP900GTO. I am just commissionin

Don, thanks. My controller is CP2 not CP3. I am not so sure that it can be upgraded like you've described. Do you know? Stuart

Don, that is on today's list of things to do. Appreciate your help though. LOTS to like about upgrading to the CP3 but spending a lot right now to commission a second set-up and wallet is getting a we

Don et al - I just talked w George and he said I should take the cover off of the CP2 controller and confirm I do have the 'D' chip and if so, it would be worth the money to upgrade to the latest chip

George, thanks! I will see how I'm connecting and arrange it as you've described. Stuart

Adam, I just had that same problem! You must go to the ASCOM website, look in the list of downloads for the AP driver and download it. Then when it is installed, in TSX, you'll now be offered under AS

Ya baby! Nice one Rolando! Stuart

Rolando, great post! I have always admired my friend Steve Cannistra's cable mgmt in the first pic on this page: http://www.starrywonders.com/equipment.html In that pic he routes the cables in automot

I've had my 155 for years and brought my AP900GTO CP2 out of retirement to have a second permanent set-up at our farm. Bought the STL on Astromart. It is a NOISY camera but dithering and lots of subs

Sean, most kind of you - thanks! I was born in Toronto and our farm is near Lake Huron between Goderich and Kincardine. Almost 3 hours North of Port Huron / Sarnia if that helps our friends South of t

Seriously. Last night my AP900GTO CP2 behaved perfectly. My camera on the other hand ... Tonight, clear again, camera working properly again, the mount has totally lost its mind. I cannot figure out w

Steve, no, Arcturus is low in the Southwest for me right now. Stuart

Steve, this is new to me! Thanks for this idea. I definitely have "Treat sync as RCAL" checked in the driver but never thought it mattered where in the sky I performed that sync. Stuart
