Trying to resurrect this thread... let's eliminate CCDAutopilot from the context to make things easier. still need to understand the relation between RA limits in the AE tab for Mach 2 and the meridia

#APCC #Mach2GTO

Hello Ray & Group, I have a Mach2 and want to use it with CCD autopilot for session automation. It is going to be used in the field, no fixed set up. I'd like to know what is the simplest meridian set

Thanks for the info Liam. I appreciate the detailed reply.

It really depends on your setup. If what you have works, there is very little compelling reason to change. Here is the change list from the release notes that users can be concerned with, from the rel

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

My setup runs fine now with ASCOM 6.4 SP1 so I am reluctant to be an early adopter and lose imaging time if I can't get APPM/SGPro/PlateSolve2 to work. Is there a compelling reason why I should upgrad

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

Good news, everyone! There is a new update from the ASCOM Initiative! Looks like the latest version fixes some of the bugs introduced with 6.5 that affect plate solving in APCC. Here are the details,

Hi Ray. I will will give the ASCOM 6.5 SP1 Beta a try. Thanks for the update. Andrew J

Hi Ray, Thanks for your explanation even if I always understood the naming protocol. That said... I never being diagnosed but I suffer a kind of dyslexia...unfortunately it seems even worse with age a

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

Hi Yves, Okay, thanks. That *almost* clears things up. :-) Since ASCOM 6.5 platform has been released, any RC (release candidate) would be older than the current release. So, if you are using APCC Pro

Sorry Ray, a typo error...I meant RC2 !!! Yves

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

I think that was 2nd version of release candidate for 6.5 platform. then the 6.5 release happened, which superseded that. 6.5 SP1 beta is after this initial release

That's not what you wrote... You wrote "SP2", not "RC2". (SP = Service Pack) (RC = Release Candidate) They have completely different meanings. -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physic

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

Ray, Here is the proof without a doubt why I was confused about the ASCOM Release Candidate version. On the attached ASCOM diagnostics window it's written 6.5RC2 - 6.5.0.3035. Maybe it should be writt

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

Hi Ray, Yes, there was an ASCOM 6.5RC2. Just checked the GitHub web site but no executable file found anymore even if it's written 6.5RC2. I already got this file on my USB key and initiated an instal

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

Again, I don't even think ASCOM 6.5 SP1 has been released, so are you sure there is a 6.5 SP2? -Ray Gralak Author of PEMPro Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): https://www.astro-physics.com

#APCC #ASCOM_V2_Driver

Hi Yves, I am not sure what you mean... there is no ASCOM 6.5 SP2. Did you mean SP1? You'll have to ask that question on the ASCOM group. I haven't been keeping track of the changes they make. I was t

Thank you, Roland. I am currently using a single power supply for the Pegasus UPB and the mount. If I send 16V to the Pegasus device, I’ll fry it. I’ll try dropping the slew rate for the time being. I
