PEC Curve question
It merely reads the stored PEC curve. It can be read over and over and there is no change in the stored curve.

Chip Revisions
I have a "V" chip in one of my GTOCP3 and a "V1" in another. For an AP1200 with APCC, are any of these chips essentially identical or are there pressing reasons to upgrade them to V2? Thanks, Mike in

Having Trouble with V2 Driver
If the V2 driver had the multi-connect capability, what is the requirement for the virtual serial ports in APCC?

Emergency Shutdown and Park
It seems that any automated roof which could collide with the scope in some positions must need to be able to verify the scope is in a safe position. How is this commonly done? My first thought was to

Emergency Shutdown and Park
Would this be useful? I could whip up a batch of these: A small device, (no bigger than an RS232 gender changer): 1) Has a serial DB9 output (labeled MOUNT) 2) Has a serial DB9 input (labeled PC) 3) R

Request please for info on using various old software tools acquired with my pre-owned AP1200...
If PemPro could capture from DSLR video, that would be a superb. However, if it required many individual DLSR exposures I would think it would be quite punishing for a DSLR shutter. How many shutter a

Case Ideas
I have had both AP900 and AP1200 mounts over the years. I preferred to transport the 900 in one piece, since it was lightweight. I think a mammoth case really defeats the advantage on the 900/1100 cla

On planetary eyepieces
I'll need to "see it to believe it" if there are any eyepieces with lower scatter and better planetary performance than the TMB supermonocentrics. I think they are 3 glass elements in 1 single group.

Autoguiding with PEM, or no PEM?
Horses for courses? Encoders make your RA axis always turn at the correct speed. Autoguiding keeps your mount pointed at the subject.
