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

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

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

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 (

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

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

Wayne, Thanks for the report. That’s way too funny! Woody

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

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

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

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.

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

Peter: 1) What is your configuration? Does your mount have the CP3 or CP4 controller? 2) I have a CP3 controller on my older Mach-1 and use either a SkyBT (Bluetooth), or SkyFi-III (WiFi) connected to

Antoine, No, that’s a different APP. My PolarFinder APP was written by Jozsef Lazar. The icon is a blue square with yellow stars forming the Little Dipper. On Google Play is says it’s by TechHead. I t

Antoine, Have you looked at the Android APP “PolarFinder?” I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but I use this APP with my Mach-1 with the RAPAS. This APP has a setting for the A-P RAPAS. Once set, y
