I chose to mount my PL CDK17 onto an AP-1600AE. See the picture here - https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ap-gto/files/20190415_223037.jpg It's worked out nicely.

And that is why I buy AP's products in a nutshell.

I have used a FLI16803 with my AP140 with focal-reducer-field-flattener operating at 798 FL to good results despite undersampling. A custom adapter from PreciseParts.com was needed. steve

That's very helpful, thanks Roland.

So glad to have 1600GTO-AE. Here is 5 hours of PHD2 guiding from last week. Notice the points plotted in the lower right hand "bullseye". This time with the image file to the PHD2 screen shot. https:/

Thank you Roland and team AP!!

Ray the new driver did the trick, thanks for your support!! steve

I was connecting through the AP V2 driver, so I will update and test again. Thanks!!

Be certain to evaluate the weight of all the components, not just the scope. My CDK17 OTA weighed 106lbs but it took 180lbs of counter weights to balance the RA axis. Saddle, saddle plate, camera, CFW

Without the wonderful AP1600 mount (and George's & Howard's help) this shot would not be possible. https://www.astrobin.com/388341 Thank you Astro-Physics!! steve

I have uploaded an image of just such a configuration here - https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ap-gto/files/guidescope.jpg Except it's on an AP-140.

A file named "guidescope .jpg" was just uploaded to the files section. This is a Baader guidescope sold by AP mounted on and AP-140 with 4" focuser. I have taken 40 minute subs with this configuration

Instructions are here... https://www.zdnet.co...ows-10-upgrade/ I stuck with windows-7-pro because I've spent too much time on softwares bleeding edge. But finally relented when this free upgrade was

Gert I have dabbled in this (once). If I can do it you certainly can. Any information you need is contained in the help file. There is a help file which begins.... Horizons allows your Astro-Physics m

It can be done with the "Horizons" tool in APCC pro. steve

I think this is a picture of it correct? Mine went with the mount years ago, sorry steve ________________________________ Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2018 11:55 AM To: ap-gto@... Subject: Re:

Do you have a picture of this adapter? I used to own an AP800 and might still have the adapter. steve

Thankfully I did not attempt to bring the CP4 into the house and I have Horizons working properly with the Ephemeris data from JPL. My observatory can't be built soon enough. thanks steve
