Laptop Specs for Mount, Imaging, and Processing
With an arrangement with computer/USB hub/ Power Distribution box on top of the mount, you can use the shortest cables and reduce cable flexure during scope moves. I don’t think I have any cable, powe

Sky modeling question
When starting a sky model, you have an option to start at the zenith. Is there a way to do that with the scope on the east side of the mount instead of the west?

Multiple Meridian Profiles?
Asking for a friend…. Is it OCD to have different meridian maps for different setups? 😃 For example one for a OSC camera with more clearance than a mono camera with filter wheel and OAG? Might make a

Mount Status in AP V2 ASCOM Driver Does Not Match APCC

How to start imaging with CW up?
Thanks Brian, I’m going to try some dry runs today if it doesn’t rain. I’m using NINA right now and it doesn’t like early flips but if I start in CW up I don’t think it has a problem. What capture SW

Trouble Connecting via REST API
Ray, I noticed in the Advanced Settings for third party apps there’s a NINA selection. I’m just starting to use NINA and wondering specifically what checking that box does? Thanks again, Wayne

Excellent! Love YouTube for practical lessons. Suggest one one using NINA with AP mounts. Like meridian flip coordination and modeling. Wayne

Using Meridian Limits for Advancing Flip
