Get APCC Pro. I should have added that I used APPM models along with guiding to take those images. It is well worth the money. I took this with the Stowaway & 1100 combo completely unguided with APCC

I can speak to this with direct experience, prior to me installing the encoders. These were all taken with the 1100 and long guide exposures (5-10 secs): https://www.astrobin.com/377929/F/ https://www

That is backwards. 🙂

Ive used APCC the entire time I have owned an AP mount. I got the standard edition with the coupon you get when you buy a new mount, and then upgraded it to pro. I have never found APCC to be lacking

Quick and efficient! Nice job by Google and CCD Ware.

Now that makes more sense as the root cause. Hopefully they figure that out quickly.

Perhaps Bill is a little tired of you bagging on the company he works for? Perhaps its a bit old listening to you bicker about things that arent even real? This is a forum to talk about A-P products,

Not likely related at all. Just another anti MS crusade.

It does. It's also more expensive with encoders.

Its not Windows Defender causing this problem. This is starting to get old.

You could go full on and invite people to come watch real-time. 🙂

You really are though. The tolerance on the AP130 FF is +/-2mm on a 35mm chip. You are using a 4/3 chip. It will have so little issues getting a perfectly flat field that you are sweating over nothing

You are making this too hard. Contact QHY and they will tell you the spec for the camera you have. Then use the data on the a-P site to determine the right spacing for your flattener. I use the same o

The total distance from the 13035FF to the chip is only 102.9mm IF you remove the provided spacer from AP. That is really important to mention.

What make and model is this camera? It should say on it...

I just upgraded mine as well, and I just rebooted the CP4 and APCC prompted me to initialize from last parked.

I hear you on the Pacific Northwest skies. :) At that focal length I'd be hard pressed to get good data.

That is the same scope I have. I bought it for these reasons: Planewave doesn't sell a 10" model, and I set up each night and need something lighter than 48 lbs. The focal length of the Planewave is a

Looks pretty solid to me.
