Marcelo, can you share what was fixed on your Mach2, maybe we can compare notes off-line. I am theresamarie11 at gmail dot com and feel free to e-mail me. Terri

Larry, I believe they're referring to the benefit of using pulse guiding through ethernet (should say or USB) versus the ST4 ports which have less precise control. I use ethernet myself, but don't thi

Hi Dale, do you feel you've lost any functionality with the Pegasus? I am forever looking for a better solution. Hi Alex, I built up a aluminum plate with MDS dovetail connectors that I move from scop

Hi Axel, you should be able to see it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jQXRltbI9mJDYR5YmSh3fTPXKPKJgC7X/view?usp=drivesdk I've had the MDS dovetail on the top of all of my scopes for years, it's

Dale, thank you for the detailed and thoughtful response and information... like you, the focuser is my biggest concern, second is dew control. I like the Dew Busters capability and will have to take

Dale, thank you again, I think I’ll give it a try. terri

Hi Alex, I'll provide another thumbs up on the Polemaster.. it does fantastic polar alignment, and if you have a portable setup where you can mark where your tripod goes night after night (same positi

Hey Frank, I've called AP about this as I thought it was a defect as well (on a new keypad). The response I received is that the keys are glow in the dark if they're charged a bit beforehand. I haven'

I am using the Eagle pier, very happy with it. I use an 8" extension as well. I have numerous scopes I use with it, the heaviest being either a TEC140 or Edge 11" scope, not sure which is heavier. I s

#Mach2GTO

Your skies must be way better than mine, or the multi-star aspect of the Maxim guiding somehow average out the seeing across the three stars for you. I need to read up on this to understand how it tak

Hi Wei Hao, for what it's worth, I have tried to initialize the mount with version 6 pro of sky safari pro on the mach2, without the keypad or computer and was unsuccessful. This was before the latest

So I'll provide a counterpoint here, but I would still listen to Roland's feedback. I was thinking exactly the same thing as you, and that is, if it fits within the green zone of use conditions then i

#Mach2GTO

Were you not able to adjust it out? Can you say what significant is? Terri

Hi Bill, thanks for letting me know.. I wish I would have found this on-line before I purchased because once I have my mind set… as soon as I saw the ad I pulled the trigger. I did search a bit and no

I finally did the update, and used the USB utility which is much more straight forward to use. After doing it once, I doubt I'll have to refer to instructions again. I'll give the orthogonal utility a

Hi Roland, I have the standard TEC140ED, just like your own. Can I assume the same as above? I have both of your grenades, the reducer and flattener. Can I assume same spacing for both? In the past I

Michael, I dealt with this, being one of the first Mach2 users, and evidently the first one to try usb3. The issue is likely all of the signal loss due to the number of connectors between your compute

Michael, you're right, I did not watch the video initially, but I just watched it and it didn't tell me a lot more than what you shared above. I didn't notice any mention of an active repeater cable i

Thanks for posting the problem and response, I was doing it wrong myself! Terri

Tom, I had a similar situation where I was getting mostly flat line guiding on one side of the meridian, and after the flip, it was much poorer.. I had reported this in an earlier post and saw this re
