Newbie comet photography questions. Do people create custom tracking rates for comets in APCC, or just track at sidereal rate generally, or use some other software? Thanks Bob

Thanks Nick, but the update to SS has just been released, so as soon as it stops raining (any week now hopefully) I will be able to test out the bug fix.

Anyone in the Southern H. that uses SS may be interested to know that a fix for the park 3 bug has been implemented and is currently being tested. The next update to SS which is expected very soon wil

Based on what just happened to me I am assuming Sky Safari still hasn't fixed this one yet? The mount decided to head for nadir. Thanks

Thanks Ray. Although, APCC could still use the GPS time without updating the computer time perhaps, which would get around the admin issue? I guess this could be problematic for other software though.

I'm really quite surprised that APCC cannot utilise gps time directly. I bought a $10 usb gps and it works well with APCC. When I went looking for the setting in APCC that would allow me to utilise th

I was certain I read something on this topic not so long ago but typically cannot find where, so apologies in advance. The impending birth is now close so was wondering if the APCC license key is ship

Doesn't hurt to have a good sword though :) That certainly is a legendary mosaic. Made all the more impressive by the fact he can get away with no cable snags. What a dogs breakfast!

From the archives a while back there was official talk that a mobile app like Sky Safari would be able to communicate with the mount via APCC. Was this ever achieved or did the idea get abandoned? Tha

This question is only in reference to the GTO mount, not the ota. So is it only the control box that should be protected against a heavy dew? Aside from the socket covers, does anyone use anything lik

Thanks gents for the information. You must remember that the electrons flow upside down in the South so we have to be especially careful when powering equipment ;)

Would anyone know the size of the rings? Judging by the Powerwerx site I think they are either 3/8 or 1/4 inch but not sure. Thanks Bob

Will a GTO1100 fit in a new Corvette? Yellow of course.

Thanks Bryan So how long does it take to create a 200 point model?

Hi Peter With a pointing model. I would assume several minutes would be achievable? How large would the model need to be? Thanks Bob

First, excuse me for asking for clarification/confirmation of what you just stated. My excuse is I am a virgin with AP gear. So I have a gto1100 (hopefully soon) without Encoders. All other things bei

Following on from an earlier thread, does anyone have any info on the length of unguided imaging possible using a 1100GTO or similar with a focal length of up to about 700mm? Assuming the mount is ver

Thanks Mike and Len. Takeaway then is order the RAPAS I think.

For my own interest, aside from the basic mount command set which is documented in the cp4 manual, are there any of the algorithms or pseudo code that make up specific functions available? Or is this

I notice there is an active thread on the Indi forums at the moment about this. I find the attitude of a couple of the (I think) Indi devs to be rather surprising, complaining of a lack of support fro
