Thanks for the excellent info and diagram, Mike!

I think I am going to try and mount my Sky-Watcher Esprit 120mm with my C11” where I am currently using a piggyback design with an 80 mm. My set up requires it to be in park 4 in my ROR observatory fo

Thanks, Bryan. This is good to know as I also image with both of my scopes but usually one at a time. Your combined weight on the mount sounds about 70 lbs vs. the 50 lbs mine (minus accessories) woul

Thanks, Dean. However, the C11 is the mainstay as my main imaging scope and I have not had issues with error/flexure, especially after refitting the standard secondary mirror with the Optec secondary

I have been imaging with a Stellarvue 80mm APO triplet piggybacked on a C11" EdgeHD on my AP1100 for the past 4 years in my observatory with no issues. Both scopes produce nice long exposure images wi

I just found out that InnovationsForesight is working with NINA on a native integration

Thanks, Wade. I understand perfectly how the so-called "locks" (not really locking) work and have been using the Celestron OAG for several years. It works well and I get excellent star shapes. That is

I am guiding with an OAG on a C11" EdgeHD @ f/10 with a ZWO ASI6200mm Pro but finding guide stars all night long can sometimes be a challenge. My primary mirror is locked down and focus is performed w

Thanks much, Ray. Greatly appreciate the info.

I've been using NINA to image with my AP1100 (no encoders) in my observatory. I connect NINA to the AP driver and everything is working fine. The only thing I have not done is to set up safety limits

I can't stop laughing along with having MORON written on my forehead. I just responded to you in Discord- that fixed the problem. Nepal did look interesting in Raiders of the Lost Ark :-).

Thanks Linwood. I went down your checklist of items and was testing during the day. It is still not slewing to the correct coordinates that I enter. Also, the Sky Atlas is showing the correct coordina

I set up in NINA for the first time yesterday. I was asked to have NINA sync with the mount or vice vera. I synced NINA to the mount/telescope (AP1100 in park 4). It slewed fine during the day. Now tr

cytan- just a FYI I bought both the 2600MM and MC when they first became available and have had no issues whatsoever using them with SharpCap. They also connect with NINA but I have not used NINA exte

Thanks for the quick response- appreciate it.

I have an AP1100 in a permanent observatory on top of my garage parked in position 4. During the past 3 years, I've only imaged about 120 hrs per year. I read in the manual to use the keypad to move t

I am in a permanent setup in an observatory. Power comes from my house up to the observatory to a 110/120VAC to 12 vdc, 25A power supply which runs up to the GTOCP4 control box and the scope where I h

I have an 80mm piggybacked on top of my C11" on my AP1100. Cameras on both with filter wheels and auto-focusers 7 USB ports. I use to guide the 80mm with the OAG on the C11 and that works most of the
