Hello, After some private email with Ray Gralak, a solution for the problem described in my earlier mail (below) was found. It was some items in the initialisation files on my PC. To make the "AP V2 -

Hello, I have the latest versions of APCC and the driver. When opening and closing the program, a window "AP V2 -Park 1 Warning" appears several times. There is a small box that can be selected "Don't

Yes, indeed, you can click the "do not show anymore" box as much as you like, they keep coming each session. Geert Van: ap-gto@... [mailto:ap-gto@...] Verzonden: donderdag 13 j

Hi, I installed the Ascom driver update and APCC Standard update. No problems but I had to restart the PC to make it work. And the Park 1 nag screen is still at least three times after launch... Best

Tony, 1-As for type of videocamera, the best you can get, at least full HD or 4K resolution and at least 20x zoom power; 2-Yes, you need to be able to set manual exposure; some cameras can be set full

Hello, The mount will not do this by itself! Once an object passed the meridian, you have to issue a new goto command, then the mount will slew to the other side. Best regards, Geert Vandenbulcke, Bel

Strange, I think you should check your settings for geographical position then, also in any program you use to connect to the mount and ascom driver - they should be same. You cannot define a custom p

That is the Park 3 position, already implemented in the handcontrol, isn't it? See http://www.astro-physics.com/tech_support/mounts/keypad/keypad-manual.pdf page 43. Best regards, Geert Vdbulcke Belgi

Add a counterweight, so they will be closer to the mount!? Geert Vdbulcke Belgium 2016-09-28 17:54 GMT+00:00 Bill Long bill@... [ap-gto] <ap-gto@...>:

Hello, It is easy to fix the QHY Polemaster onto a Mach1GTO: buy some self adhesive velcro, apply one part on the underside of the Polemaster, other part on the Mach1GTO declination motor housing and
