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

Robert, I'd echo Kent's reply to the extent that I used an AP900GTO on a Losmandy tripod and it was rock solid. Am sure the AP portable pier is excellent but I'm not mobile so my AP900GTO is now on a

Love it! Stuart

Wow! Worth the efforts - those are great shots! Stuart

Frank, Bill has the camera now! I will ask him about this. Awesome idea - thanks!!! Stuart

Agreed. That is what I do (cycle the heat across the 0C point). I didn't want to remove the camera because of the logistics of going out there to get it. Not close to the house at all. Anyway, in my c

Rolando, do you think it could be dew forming on the OUTSIDE of the chamber's cover? I baked my desiccant for FIVE hours and the mark, just like Steve's, was back within two days. We were having inten

Steve, I don't think this can be on the secondary. It is too well defined to be that far from the sensor. I had exactly this happening w my STL11000 and I'm still on the fence weather it was inside or

All - knowing you're all sitting on the edges of your seats wondering if I'm okay (pause for laughter), I did want to report that everything is working great again. Here is what I did per Rolando's gu

Lee, I am using a Logitech C520. Wide fov, sharp images, can turn on or off the IR that it wants to use in low light so you won't spoil your images. Stuart

Greg, I feel your pain. I think those registry cleaners are very dangerous. I stopped using them. I may have asked this before but are you using a CP2 or CP3 mount? I am on a CP2 AP900GTO and I find t

Are there any parts of this that need to be run in administrator mode again to re Register? Wondering if your registry cleaning step erased the correct registration in error. Stuart

Bob, this sounds VERY useful! I played with a bunch of free-ware for my Nikons a while back and found them all wanting. This sounds like a winner! Stuart

Jim, I have it printed out. Taking it to the tattoo parlour to have the bits I need inked onto my forearm. ;-) Stuart ap-gto@...> wrote: -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com

Scott - I only got to see the video now. Loved it! Nice job! Stuart

Roger that. Okay - I will still use your instructions Thursday when I return to the observatory. I really appreciate the help. Stuart

Marj, for those of us using the CP2 controller still, does our ASCOM driver allow Park 4? I am away from my observatory - sorry. Stuart

I love this! Thanks again Rolando! Stuart

Rolando, I read all your posts just now - I really appreciate your clarifications. I will follow your guidance on Thurs when we have clear skies forecast again. To everyone else, thank you as well, I

Yes, that is consistent with the behaviour. Like suddenly it thinks it is in the southern hemisphere. But I checked the ASCOM driver and it has the right Long/Lat. Still, I can try syncing on a star i
