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

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.

Mach 2 modeling with partial sky view 3 messages
#Mach2GTO
I don't think you need to do full sky modeling. Model on the area you wish to image from the POD, and run with that. Seems simpler.

Nice shots Dominique. I especially like M13, always a favorite of mine. Your photo reminds me of the time I looked at it through at 20+ inch Dobsonian, really amazing. Michael

Andrea, For now don't worry about the limit settings in the AE tab. It serves a different purpose than the Meridian Limits. Meridian limits are soft limits that APCC uses to stop tracking and control
