Here’s what I did. Seems to work fine.

Thanks. I’m going to try it tonight.

#APCC #Mach2GTO

I have had excellent results with doing two and three line APPM map runs which bracket the declination of the target for the night. There was a discussion on this last summer - https://ap-gto.groups.i

#APCC #Mach2GTO

What I’m going to try tonight if I don’t hear anything is the following. My target’s declination is about +13 degrees. I plan to densely map points from +10 to +20 Dec all across the sky.

#APCC #Mach2GTO

I'm in the same boat. I don't have a permanent setup so I haven't used APPM as I had hoped. But being able to build a model around a given object or point the in sky would be very useful to me if it i

#APCC #Mach2GTO

Thanks for the info. My concern is what would happen outside the modeled area. As someone who has done models myself in a different area, I just want to make sure there are not extrapolation errors ou

#APCC #Mach2GTO

David There have been posts in the post showing that building a model along the declinaton of the single object works well. See lengthy thread at https://ap-gto.groups.io/g/main/topic/77675005 In addi

Just received my Mach2 and very happy with it. Until I get a permanent setup, I set up and break down my system just about every time I use it. I have APPM working, but I was thinking last night that

Nice work Greg thanks for the followup

#APCC

Thanks to Brian, Luca and Eric for your very helpful recommendations to address the hiccups I experienced in my APPM modeling run several nights ago. We had a clear night here last night with light wi

#APCC

Thank you all. Actually most of the time the modeling works perfect, but from time to time I have some very hot nights, with a lot of heat accumulated during the day being released at night (I'm in th

#APCC #Mach2GTO #Absolute_Encoders

Yes, APCC Pro does adjust the model for the refraction, but not for changes in materials/system flexure. The former can be calculated via a formula, but the latter only interpolated/extrapolated from

Marcelo FYI, following Ray's note, PNT models are filed in C:\ProgramData\Astro-Physics\APCC\Models Bryan

#APCC #Mach2GTO #Absolute_Encoders

Ray I thought APCC already adjusted the model for temperature fluctuations? (and pressure too) Brian

#APCC #Mach2GTO #Absolute_Encoders

Hi Marcelo, Yes, you can load data points from any ".PNT" file. Although APCC does account for refraction changes due to temperature, pressure, and humidity, there are additional factors affected by t

#APCC #Mach2GTO #Absolute_Encoders

Here is the question, some nights here are quite warm, about 20º C, resulting in a large number of useless frames, other nights are colder and there the modeling I have works perfectly. And I was wond

Hi Greg https://www.sequencegeneratorpro.com/downloads/ left side

Greg, It’s there. Just look under the beta downloads, not the main V4 links. Bottom of the downloads page. Cheers, Eric

#APCC

Hi Luca, I went to download the BETA 4 version of SGP and it shows that only the 32 bit version is currently available for download. Is there something that you needed to sign up for that allowed you

Hi Brian, Thanks for making me double check APPM settings. I have selected ‘Binning = 2’ under the APPM ‘Camera Settings’ tab and I know that in the settings summary page you get when you hit run that
