Yes there is an environment poll that APCC does. The sensor provided with the Pegasus Ultimate Powerbox v2 and Powerbox Advance (cheaper) works perfectly with APCC.

I would add that modeling is not some strange voodoo. You can model while you are getting ready for a night of imaging well before its even astro dark. The idea that gear needs to be permanently mount

Mach-2 can not reach target
No frost, no condensation at all. I even have the dew prevention on. I think Roland is spot on with the window theory. The place image at, is on a wooden deck, suspended two stories in the air. Really

Well, that is something I will have a chat with ZWO about. It should be double AR coated on both sides. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

Model running tonight, and what do you know... that halo IS there on this system as well. Since its not Astro Dark, I bet it goes away later as I did not see it previously but it was well into Astro D

Yeah I took it all apart when I put the DK out. Next time I have the GTX up I will investigate further. It will probably disappear, whatever it was.

Very little changes needed with the field flattener. I did have this strange halo appear in my frames that I can only reproduce with the flattener. The Quad TCC doesnt show it, and my DK doesnt show a

There is a heater you can turn on in the ZWO driver to prevent dew.

Nailing down the spacing gets difficult as well, since the tilt is present. Solving the tilt is a challenge when the spacing is not deadly accurate. So you end up in this vicious cycle. I decided to p

Well worth the money. The sensors arent perfectly square, so having a method to adjust them is pretty crucial.

+1 for ease of use. It would be nice to get some expanded plate solve options for people that dont use SkyX, Pinpoint, or SGP. ASTAP or Planewave Platesolve2 would be good. I use SkyX for this, but it

SG Pro just talks to the ASCOM driver, so whatever the issue is, it is not likely to be something SG Pro is doing.
