Hi Stuart, What I meant by “target names”, is not the PC name AFTER reaching the remote destination, but rather the pop down list of 9-digit ID’s (down-arrow), as you launch TV to select a formerly us

Greg, I can’t quite remember, but I think the TWO kinds of install, it asks you for, after download, during install, is whether you want “UNATTENDED ACCESS” type of use. My present setup, like previou

Greg, EXACTLY, the same “menu/function bar” as in all previous versions. Checked its function bar contents & options, a few minutes ago, and there are no differences. By any chance did you click the “

Greg, Perhaps you answered the INSTALLER with some non-control option – or what ever the alternate was. I forget what it was, but there were TWO kinds of user install. Yes – I did a File Transfer, the

Greg, Are you saying that TV does NOT have “File Transfer”, in the free personal use version ? I used it an hour ago, on TV version 13, and on past versions for years. Unfortunately, it isn’t File “Dr

Hi Wayne, Is this disconnect something new in version 13? Like you, I used TV for probably 10 years, hassle free. Used version 13 today, for most of the afternoon, never got disconnected, no warnings,

Hi Micah, While Microsoft’s “Remote Desktop” is OK when starting out ... consider using a free (for non-commercial users) copy of TEAMVIEWER. The big advantage of the latter, besides not needing a PRO

Hi Suresh, Your approach on “swapping gear boxes” provides another (potential) advantage, which I had not previously considered. It appears possible that for whatever reason, either one of the RA or D

Andrew, I don’t think it matters which pier side you start from. As it is written now, PemPro does a continuous run, with no way of splitting it into two parts, so that we could do a half on each side

Rolando, I think I have found the solution to solving the east-west PemPro curve difference. Simple really. Atmospheric refraction is ALREADY being taken into account by Ray’s PemPro algorithm, so it

Hi Rolando, I too have seen that PemPro curve results discrepancy on runs east vs. west side of the mount. I REALLY like your explanation, on the cause – even if the results might sometimes be slight.

Rolando, Buy a copy of “NERO Platinum” Edition. BASIC MOVIE no frills version: Click on ... “Nero Video”. Click “Import” all your MPG or MP4 “clips” & just drag each one like they were slides, onto it

Rolando, Is AE going to be a strictly “new Mount” product – or will it eventually become available for the old (and venerable) AP-1200 mount? If not - is that because there a “mechanical” problem in f

Thanks Rolando, I’ll try your simpler approach next time – providing everything clears, rotating to the back leg of the tripod/pier. Joe

Hi Wade, While I completely agree with your cautions about being safer by dismantling the mount before installing encoders, it might also be done without doing so. Last time I re-greased the mount ...

Ray, On your point of occasionally “seeing east/west side PE” differences. Could that be attributed to a minor, possibly intentional, OTA imbalance causing the worm and worm wheel rubbing on one surfa

Ray, I’ll just exit here ... by adding that yes, I noticed in my PEM data plots, that when a star is too dim to be recorded, it doesn’t stop, of course, just seems like the segment does a “straight li

Ray, On a few occasions in the past, I would get PERFECT “straight line” AZ-EL graphs while doing Polar Alignment in PemPro. That seemed to be the case when clouds rolled in unexpectedly, while I was

Jim, I completely agree – this thread has lost its charm, quite a long time ago. Isn’t there an “INDI Group” this bun fight can be moved to? Meanwhile, I’m putting anything mentioning the word “INDI”

Rolando, Maybe the academics are too smart – as there is more “grant money” to be had for doing research in reinventing the wheel, than for buying stuff off-the-shelf. Joe
