I just figured this out (with Howard's help). I was using TeleAPI connected to AP-GTO and this does not produce the Recal button on the Object Info window; wish it did. Thanks!

So if you Sync (with faithful adherence to the mount orientation) or Recalibrate (in TheSky6) you must be on the last selected object in the keypad. I was hoping that if you used the Sync in TheSky6 i

Interesting, I have the latest version 6.0.0.61 (I understood the Hotfix for RCAL was in .57). Where do I find the RCAL feature; I see the Sync, etc in the telescope tab; I must be missing something..

I have a permanent setup and use autoconnect set to "yes". When I first start up, I issue a GOTO to a known star in my target area via the keypad, which usually puts is nearly center on the CCD chip.

I understand completely. Good to know the default characteristics. I always assumed nothing would happen with AC:No until the Location number is selected and entered. Makes perfect sense as this is wh

Thank you much. I usually "zip" through the connection routine; I never really realized this default behavior. The clarification is much appreciated. It's a good thing I don"t run off somewhere before

When I set up TheSky6 (Tele API) and look at the AP ASCOM control panel, I see it shows scope on the East side of the Pier when it is in Ref Park 1. Shouldn't this show scope on West side of Pier? May

I have my AP900 set for autoconnect: No but when I first power up and select location: 1 the mount starts tracking before I select Resume from Ref Park 1. Is this normal; for some reason I never notic

The question about the USB server prompted me to post this; yet a bit off topic I suppose. My VISTA laptop in the observatory "developed" this annoying problem about a week ago. Whenever I launch TheS

I just received my Grand Tourismo and have attached the two RING47 to a 12" sliding bar (SBD12) as recommended. I see from the technical sheet that one can attach a DOVE8 to the top of the rings; exce

Yes, it's a privilege to live in a nation so rich in freedom so valiantly protected. It's just a shame we must be timid as to the abuses of our government. Scaled or fixed taxes are essential to this

Good grief; that keypad better have a long cable and a hand warmer. Wonder how they keep the lens from crystallizing; I think if he exhaled on it one more time it would crack into pieces. What a mount

It would be great see a You-Tube video or .wmv file of how to "tighten" these gears. The AP900 and 1200 is a bit pricey to have any doubt about what you're doing. Just a thought; I'm very mechanical b

How about a run on large refractors (>155 mm). It's been a long waiting list. My 130 EDFS is as of 2/9/00 and my 155 is as of 4/30/03. I think I lost three years since the smaller scopes aren't being

Has anyone used this Keyspan USB server connected to a "wireless bridge" via the RJ45 cable? This would eliminate the laptop all together; just pull the IP from the bridge and connect to al the "obser

I've had similar results. When I went to the Polar Alignment tool of PEMPro2 and got very precise Polar Alignment and then viewed the PASIL4; it was shifted aside as you mentioned. I've often wondered

Wade: What a great review from a "users" standpoint That should take the fear out of using this program to review and correct for your mounts PE. Astronomers are the greatest folks when it comes to sh

I don't seem to be having problems either; as long as time and location are precise. How do you connect to TheSky: Using Telescope API (ASCOM) I assume. Then do you use: "The Sky Controlled Telescope"

Sounds like with all this modification; it would just be easier to install banana or ring adapters to the posts and use the switch to shut it off. My AP900 cig adapter is very snug in my 5 amp Pyramid
