I'd like to purchase a mini PC that has a high speed serial port for my AP mount and several USB ports for cameras and focusers, etc. Can anyone recommend or share what new cool computers they are usi

I was hoping to eliminate the ST-4 cable from my ST-i guider to the mount and use the ASCOM interface with pHD. I use Maxim to control the main camera via ASCOM. Has anyone had luck with this set up b

I would be interested in testing as well. Rick Cardiofuse Observatory

Just so I understand the behavior. After I installed the new battery into my Keypad (Auto-Connect having to be set to YES) for installation of the database loader, the final step is to hit MENU 5 time

I have an ADA2003 that I'd like to screw into one of my TAK scopes (having 72mm female threads) and was wondering if anyone knew where to obtain a M-F adapter Many thanks Cardiofuse Observatory

Can the new APV2 issue a Recal command from the laptop? I couldn't find a button to accomplish that or do you still have to run into the observatory to accomplish that? I'm sure I've overlooked someth

Well, I "trial and errored" on the correct sequence of installations. I first deleted ASCOM 5.0a Then I installed 5.0b Then did the 5.5 upgrade Then I uninstalled my old AP V2 4.99.40 Then I was able

Well I reinstalled the old driver to get the .dat file back. Then ran the uninstaller successfully from the Control Panel. Then tried to run the new installer and received the "unexpected" error durin

When I try to uninstall the old version in the Control Panel/Programs and Features I get the error message: File "C\Program Files\Common Files\ASCOM\Uninstall\Telescope\AstroPh

Gosh that was quick. I did a Windows restore point to get the system back working. When I tried the v5.00.03 installer I got the same result. I will do another restore, uninstall the v4.99.40 driver a

On my Sony Vista machine; I tried to install the Astro-Physics GTO ASCOMV@ v4.99.40 to the newer v5.00.03. I am running ASCOM Platform 5.0a 5.0.21 After installing when I try to launch the driver (in

Norm: You can follow this link from bisque.com to reset your com port registry. After a year or two with various devices, I needed to reset the registry also....worked perfectly! Best Regards, Rick Ku

It would be nice if someone (maybe me) would post a file of a cheap home-made video of how to adjust the backlash gears from start to finish. Some of us are scared to death to remove the cover and it

That's interesting. In the Autosave Setup the Dither function is set to "Via Guider" which I assume uses the Guider relays. I use an external guide camera (Starfish) attached to a Stellarvue Nighthawk

I use the new Intel Mac with the new version of Parallel and my copy of XP Pro. It actually runs Windoz programs (including start up) faster than my new Sony VAIO; how embarrassing for "the dark side"

Well, it's always when you try something new that the adventure begins. I was using Maxim's Dithering feature (2 pixels) while imaging past the meridian. It apparently issues a slew command (really 2

If the meridian delay is set to "0" and the mount is tracking just East of the meridian; then the mount crosses the meridian; at what point will a meridian flip occur? I was imaging a sequence while c

Well I learned something again; I didn't know you could issue a GoTo in TheSky6 and issue a Recal on the Object Info Window; I thought this was the same as hitting Recal on the keypad. I think the saf
