Hi Wayne, I’ve not gotten any firm delivery dates yet, I’m just hoping that I can enjoy it a little before the numbing cold hits. I looked up the power source you’re using and it’s quite exotic. I’m n

Hi Woody, I think you misunderstood, or more likely I wasn’t that clear. I will not be using the Mach2 for outreach. I find that equatorial mounts are more difficult for outreach versus a simple alt-a

Rolando, thank you for the reply and someone else (Woody I think) also suggested it is likely lower during normal tracking. On your specifications it shows 5A continuous, which I can understand the ne

Rolando, thank you again for all of the great information. You should put some of this in your specification (just a suggestion). I’ll be able to monitor it once I have a chance to connect the Mach2 t

Thanks Karen, I do see that the A-P forums are a little friendlier in general. Realize that I’ll only have an A-P mount after I get my Mach2, and will be shooting through my TEC140 or other scope. Alt

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I have essentially the same setup (different source for my meter) on my battery setup. It includes a shunt so I have current load, voltage, and power readings. What I

Wow, impressive Peter.. basically uninterruptible power. On more than one occasion I’ve tripped over, and/or yanked a power cord out (I am eternally clumsy). Over the last winter I’ve gone to adding l

Hi Peter, So on your current setup do you have multiple USB or power cables routed up through the mount? I was thinking it’s going to be really clean just moving my hub and power distribution box to t

Hi Charles, I’ve looked at these before, and they look very slick, but because I already have several focus and dew controllers, and the high price I opted just to make a power distribution center and

Dale, That’s a beautiful setup, and sounds very well thought out for setup and tear down. Kind of what I want to do with the Mach2, with the hub and power distribution on top. I’ve purchased a nice AD

Peter, You’re doing what I do now, with multiple USBs, power and the ethernet cable for feathertouch focuser and have most of your controller ’stuff’ down below. Luckily with the mount you have, you h

I believe you order the ap900 pole master adapter. If you look on the features List, it’s one of the features listed almost to the bottom. Terri

Wow, that’s a stunning image, such dramatic vivid color and contrast! Terri

HI Charles, can I ask what you did here? Did you update all of your focus motors to Pegasus , or is the Pegasus controller compatible with most stepper motors so you basically just sold your controlle

Gorgeous shot! Wow!! At over 8 hours per panel, your standards of are pretty high if this is on the low end of integration time! Very 3 dimensional. Terri

What a beautiful image. I really like the intense vivid false colors of the narrowband images. Everywhere you look in this image, there is some eye candy awaiting your glance. Terri

That must be why I didn’t get the call about shipping my Mach2. Terri

Derek and now Marj, thank you for supporting this resource.. Seems a good community willing to share their expertise with others and doing so without a lot of drama. Terri

Hi, No snow here in Vermont, and hoping Mach2's will be shipping before snowfall. I have been assembling my kit and how have my tripod and extensions, etc.. and bought a couple of weights, but still a

Thanks Jim, I had thought the proper way is to use the forum, but maybe I’m mistaken about this. I thought it was one of their support mechanisms, so thank you for clarifying. I’ll give them a call. T
