You do not have that problem on the iPhone app. The app on the iPhone only stays open for a few seconds and then you have to open it again - every time you open it, it automatically refreshes Bruce

The one from Astro-Physics is simply called: Astro-Physics PolarAlign in the App Store.

Roland I am at a total loss now and completely stuck. I tried to follow your steps but after I go to the first star near zenith (Mirach, in this case) and center it and then hit recal, any other star

Will try again tonight with a wider field using a finder scope. Just so I am 100% understanding, *"**Bring the star to the Dec centerline and ignore any error in RA."...... *When I perform this (using

Thanks again.....apologies for being so dense. I think my C11" @f/5.6 presents a very narrow FOV- so that might be part of my problem. I was also north-east with Capella last night ap-gto@yahoogroups.

Thank you both for the quick responses. Once I get this nailed down, I will follow what George has sent me. ap-gto@...> wrote:

Roland I'll use my hyperstar lens instead with the CCD camera to get the wider field. If this works, should I just follow this up with the entire procedure that George sent? ap-gto@...> wr

I finally got some good results last night after making several adjustments with the AZ drift issue, RAPAS, and C11 tinkering. I still need to refine the PA more but it is clearly working now as I too

Dear Marj and Roland Santa made my Mach 1 arrive early and Roland and George already helped me set it up. Amazing product and spectacular service. All the best for a Happy Holiday Season to you all as

I tried connecting my Sky Safari 5 Pro on my iPAD to CP4 as an access point on my Mach1 which is brand new. I was able to do that successfully by setting the following: 1. Found the CP4 WiFi Access Po

I did the recal on Vega with Sky Safari I followed the instructions on the AP site, http://www.astro-physics.com/products/mounts/control/wi-fi-options.pdf Did I mis-read them?

OK- that was a dumb question. So just how I always do it, only using the iPAD instead of the keypad. Thanks

Roland So what has been posted here (and ignoring which is simpler), there is no difference between: 1. Using the keypad to park in position 4, turning it off, then turning on SS to begin your GOTO vs

Just did.... it said COM4 ; I checked it again and it said, mount found. I tried to connect it to SGP and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much

Permanent - thanks both I'll download and try it. I thought I had things worked out then I made some adjustments on the scope and now alignment is off again. Guess I can try to check ortho issue if I

ok- well, I've had the mount for almost 2 years and it was very good when breaking it down and setting back up but never as accurate as you describe even after doing drift alignment and using the RAPA

Thanks, Ray I figured it out. I noticed my local coordinates were off despite getting them from the mount. Not sure how that happened but when I re-entered the correct lat and long for my location eve

I turned the iPAD off and then back on. Then I did the same with the CP4. It took a while for the GTOCP4_Net_XXX to pop up but is now asking for the password. I have not done that in over 2 years. I e

It just accepted my password but it dropped out. Has now done that twice.

Now under settings in the iPAD, it shows I am connected to the network but when I go to connect to SkySafari, it says connection failure, check the IP address. It is correct.
