How to Raise AP1600 Height
Bruce, Interesting comments regarding Vito. My experience has been the exact opposite (with PT mobile observatory). Once I’d fully paid him, it was mine – along with all its problems. Warranty useless

RAPAS App
Charles, You want the Android APP called “PolarFinder.” There are several APP’s with almost the same name. You want the one with an icon with a blue background and the Little Dipper in yellow stars. O

How to Raise AP1600 Height
Jack, The glow tape I use is made for the live theater industry. It glows in the dark so actors can find their marks during blacked out set changes – and so they don’t bang into things in the dark. It

SkySafari 6 connect to CP3
William, Another thought. Have you “messed with” any of the DIP switches on the RN-270/SkyBT device? The default switch positions work. You don’t need to switch any of them. All 4 DIP switches should

William, Although I haven’t used this combination in a long time, in the past I have successfully used SkySafari to control my Mach1 with CP3. And I used it with a RN-270 Serial to Bluetooth adapter (

Mach 1 Question
Bill, Yes. That’s all you need – so long as you already have the proper CW’s. Woody

Mach 1 Question
Bill, I don’t know the size of the 1100 CW’s, but I got the larger shaft for my Mach1. I think it’s about 1 ¾” diameter. The only other thing you might need is the endcap – if the shaft doesn’t alread

GTOCP4 Not powering up
The OP says it’s a CP4 controller which I understand uses a different power connector. As I recall it’s a HiRose connector on the controller and the power cable has PP connectors on the other end. My

GTOCP4 Not powering up
Even if that power supply has worked in the past, try a different one. I’ve had one Pyramid not only die on me, but almost take a couple of other pieces of equipment with it. Smoke suddenly coming out

Mach2 Update?
Bill, The way a couple of manufacturers explained it to me, most decent cameras and accessories have built-in voltage protection (usually up to 13.8v) so you don’t blow them up by giving them too high

Mach2 Update?
I had an almost new Pyramid blow up on me. My old one never gave me problems, but it’s now an emergency spare. I’ve switched to PowerWerx. I have one of each – a fixed voltage one and a variable one.

Mach2 Update?
Funny, I was wondering the same thing. I’m the one who needs the extended temp. specs. When it gets down to 15° you will NOT find me out with my Mach1. And lower than 15°? NO WAY. That’s just plain no
