All - the strangest thing started happening with my AP900GTO (CP2). I'm using the ASCOM driver and TSX. I have an STL11000XM camera. I am guiding via Pulseguide. My camera was acting up (frost) and I

Rolando, I am using TSX and that is what I'm guiding with. I don't use Maxim. I tried checking and unchecking the "automatically reverse x direction on GEM's" but that didn't change the behaviour. I a

Rolando, I'm hoping I wasn't misunderstood. I'm not blaming the mount. I was hoping someone more expert than me with the ASCOM for AP Mounts driver might have some ideas. It is in that software that I

Also understood. Thanks Rolando. Stuart

Howard, that was next on my list! Thanks for the suggestion. I was liking not having that extra cable but am happy to put it back into action if it can help. I might be able to try it tonight but will

Konstantin, that is very good to know. I was using Pulseguide successfully until the camera went for a tune-up. That said, per Howard's remarks a moment ago, if it is a weak link I am happy to put the

Steve, thanks, no question it is software related. I think Howard and Konstantin both are on the right line which is to not use Pulseguide and try that first. Since it has been implicated before in CP

He is indeed on the case. Thanks Rolando! TSX can guide any number of ways. Relays, Pulseguide, Direct Guide (there is another one I forget). I think it is the functionality ported in from CCDSoft5 wh

All - I think I located the problem (pending prove-out in the field next clear night). We can blame TSX or me for this one. When I put my camera back, it seemed to lose my location. I have it stored i

Gregg, thanks! Similar for sure but in my case the driver was okay but TSX lost the sign on my time zone offset. The crazy little things that trip us up. Me at least! Stuart

Ray, thanks for jumping in. Do you suppose I may have toggled that value by clicking on the wrong button in the ASCOM driver and sending the coordinates from the mount back to TSX? I programmed everyt

Ray, thanks for that. I don't think the mount had any info changed but TSX briefly lost track of where the I was. I think maybe in this case I'm lucky that it was just the sign of the timezone offset

Konstantin, this is not precisely true. Howard and George were recommending avoiding Pulseguide for the CP2 mounts but didn't say it won't work, just that it isn't as good as it is on the CP3 mounts.

Ray - I don't want to confuse George's thread that you're helping him with. Do you have any thoughts on the reliability of CP2 mounts using Pulseguide? I have the latest chip in my CP2 mount. Using th

Ray, thanks. I think this helps. I'm running a 32-bit Windows 7 machine. Not super up to date but hardly an antique. I am using an Edgeport hub between the computer and the mount. It is USB 1.1 but fo

Are you sure you're tracking at Sidereal and not Lunar? Stuart

Ray, embarrassing question. Is this the driver I'm using with my CP2 mount and using to connect to TSX via ASCOM? Or is this the driver for APCC / CP3 users/owners? Or maybe it's the same thing? Stuar

Perfect. Thanks Ray! Stuart

Well said Joe! Stuart

Joe, hopefully okay to chime in here with a corollary question: if I route my 2.0 devices independently of my 1.1 devices to the computer, do I have to be careful about WHERE on the computer they both
