Configure TSX to use an ASCOM driver to connect to a mount, and select the Astro Physics V2 ASCOM driver as the driver for it to use.

Thanks, Tom! Glad you find the plugins useful. APPM's actions at the end of a modeling run can be configured. When used from within NINA, it's suggested to set it to "No action" if your next move in t

I meant to get this rolling sooner, but life threw me a curveball last month. Thanks to Ray's additions to the upcoming APCC Pro 1.9.1.x, there's now an easy way to programmatically feed model creatio

This VCP is still required for the A-P ASCOM driver to talk to APCC. It is then APCC that talks directly to the mount's CP over the chosen transport (USB/Serial, ethernet, wifi)

Big thanks to Ray for implementing this option. I'm going to be fleshing out the dec-arc integration for my NINA plugin over the next week.

I would definitely go with a USB/serial GPS + NMEATime2 on your computer and make sure that the Astro-Physics ASCOM driver or APCC, whichever one you use, is set to sync the CP's clock with the PC's.

There are 100MB of log files in that zip archive spanning the past week. Since you mentioned that it's episodic, could you suggest a specific date/time when this issue occurred?

Hi Bruce, How is the weather in Nepal these days? ;) In NINA, a north latitude is positive and a west longitude is negative. You note a lat/long of "28.688/81.49" in your message, which would put you

Hi Joseph, I've been out in the boonies again for the past week so have been catching up on this thread. It seems you have been having some general issues with APCC that have been sorted out with a se

I honestly can't explain why there's a difference between an external app such as NINA telling the driver to park, and the driver's own park button giving different results. I would think that both in

NINA just tells the ASCOM driver, essentially, "Park the mount". It's up to the driver and mount controller to get the mount into the park position that is configured in the ASCOM driver. NINA and oth

Yes, COM port access is exclusive to one application at a time. There are systems such as the free com0com and commercial Eltima (which is what APCC uses) that can sit on top of a COM port and replica

Heh, ok. So hopefully not a case of too many cooks in the kitchen, but Han is also on the NINA discord so I asked him directly there about this question. (I've been catching up on my email and day job

Joseph, I'm catching up on emails after a vacation. Is this still an issue? If so, can you share your .mlm file?

#APCC

Install and use the PPB's Observing Conditions driver (available at https://pegasusastro.com/downloads/) and you can use that as a source of temperature and humidity in APCC. You need to run the PPB's

System privileges aside, time synchronization is not as simple as taking a raw NMEA sentence from a GPS or (worse) an undisciplined source, and scribbling whatever it says into the system clock withou

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'll like a lot of these ideas. I think, for stuff under and around the mount, I'll give the pepermint extract a go first as it'll likely raise the fewest eyebrows w

2.9um pixels so I'm thinking either a IMX290 or IMX462 chip. I'll bet it's the latter for its NIR sensitivity when used with a CH4 filter. Amazing images for sure and at not even half-way up in the sk
