Just made the settings and tried it out. Problem seems to be solved. Thanks much Ray !! Now, can you clear the clouds? 😊

Ah, OK. I'll make these changes soon, but of course I may have to wait for the weather to clear. Might have a couple of clear spots tonight before I take in the OTA - storm 'Delta' is heading our way

Nevermind, I see your screenshot in your earlier posts shows that the "Override ASCOM" checkbox is not enabled. If it is not enabled, the ASCOM driver's meridian delay can override the meridian delay

My telescope is remotely controlled from my house to the outside property via a 100ft LAN cable. So I use Stellarium/Stellarium Scope for my pointing/slewing. The safe zone was created using APCC.

1. How did you slew to Jupiter? By using the A-P hand controller? Or, through software? 2. If using software, what software? 3. How did you set the "safe zone" (meridian delay) Via Keypad, AP V2 drive

I am using a pointing model. Just a few minutes ago I ran a quick slew and reslew to see if I could recreate the problem. Here is what I did: 1) From the Park 4 position, powered up and slewed to Jupi

Hi Dale, The driver does cache many of the commands. However, what can slow the driver down is formatting the text and writing to the log file, especially on devices with slow disk write speeds. That

As another data point in this vein, we set NINA to poll drivers every 2 seconds by default. We found that some older hardware and/or their drivers have a tough time dealing with more frequent polling;

Thanks. I had it set to 500msec but will set it to 2 seconds and see if that makes a difference. Roland

Hi Robert, I use SkyX with APCC Pro on my 1200 and 1100AE mounts. SkyX does not have any problems slewing to targets, so it's something in your setup that is misconfigured. 1. Are you connecting SkyX

Weather station to complement APPC Pro/APPM modeling?

For those that use a FocusLynx focuser, Jeff informed me the temperature gathered by the hub for focus compensation is available through ASCOM and can be used by APCC-APPM.

Great, glad it works for you. If you didn't have an internet connection, I have a small and easy Arduino-based electronics project and ASCOM driver that can add an air pressure sensor to any setup. /d
