Weird issues - ASCOM driver (5.30.10) - Mach1 - APCC and PHD2

Ray, Do we have a choice in NOT upgrading? I thought Microsoft forces us to accept the latest upgrade – unlike in previous OS’s. IIRC, we can only hold it off for 7 days. Joe

Passil4 assembly?
Tom, Perhaps the “assembly” refers to simply inserting the battery – or cable the DC plug into your mount’s Reticle DC power socket, for the red LED to illuminate the reticle. Also, as I recall, when

Which to Choose; Absolute Encoders or 92 mm Stowaway
Very well said, Chris, I never thought of it, but you are right-on. Besides, an excellent scope and mount, like those from AP, will eventually pass from hand to hand – as teachers retire, or the kids

In that regard – AP mount’s weight ... I always wondered how much more it might cost for a Titanium , or similar lighter metal mount. QUESTAR for example put out a special “limited edition” Questar-LW

Clutch Plug Removal on AP 900
Hi, I had to replace all the clutch plugs on my AP-900 and it was a bear of a task, almost unbearable, even with AP’s special plug removal tool. It was only possible thanks to George and his marvellou
