What focal length are you looking for? The 12.5 Planewave is likely something to look at.

Hello, Just curious if there has been any traction in getting new solvers added to APPM? Thanks, Bill

The 1100 could probably track fine with a Ford F150 mounted on it. 😉

The FLI version of that usually has about 6e- noise, whereas the others are 9-12e- if that matters to you. If you can get your hands on the FLI ML16200 camera, you will love it. Alternatively, there i

Great update! Thrilled to get some new capabilities for the CP4. Great work!

Big fan of the Lodestar x2 and the Ultrastar. Bigger chip, those IMX455 cameras are really popular, and you can still find some 16200 and 16803 cameras, although those are phased out and becoming incr

Sometimes you have to hit the refresh button a few times to get it to locate it. If that is still not working, it is possible the cable is faulty, or the network interface is older and wont support a

In APCC you can have the software search the machine to locate the correct interface and IP address. Have you used that utility? The + sign magnifier glass is what I am talking about:

Fix the personality, did you contact AP to do that or did they reach out to you? They did that for me without even having to ask, so I assume they did the same?

Right here: 3.5" Rotating Focuser Endcap. Required for TEC Refractors to use QUADTCC. Threads into TEC Focusers (S35RFAA) - Astro-Physics (astro-physics.com)

I do know it "has recovery" but its not good enough. Its not reliable enough for people to depend on. Smart development teams write and code around those things, which is likely what A-P is doing to e

One more thing... No, what I saying is that you cannot have a production environment be assumed to be clean of such actors. If they exist and can influence the environment in they way I suggested, tha

Test it as I suggested. You'll see what I mean. Thanks for the diatribe about the protocol though. We can talk about NTLM and Kerb next if you would like and how what is on paper is not how it works i

The reset event can cause issues with connected devices that are USB2 protocol. You are talking about ideal situations, real world situations on the bus are different. You can test this yourself. Writ

#Mach2GTO

It takes one bus reset call from a connected device to cause problems. You know this.

#Mach2GTO

That would be great. Lots of error correction checking required. USB is flaky.

#Mach2GTO

If they want to update the mount, they will either need serial ports on the machine (not likely) or ethernet. USB is not recommended for reasons I am sure you know as a developer. USB to ethernet adap

If its Voyager, be sure to uncheck "unpark on connect" and "track on connect" as you see below. Ignore the simulator this is my test machine the screenshot is from.

Nice job!

The color matters based on the sheets from Renishaw. The other point I mentioned, the AE tab in APCC Pro also matters since you won't see that if the personality isn't set correctly.
