No automated rotator, but I have a dovetail type (w/ 3 screws) rotating adapter from my Vixen FL55ss drawtube to M48. I manually set the camera angle using levels or the BuckeyeStarGazer's triple came

For the record, last night's Park 3 was bang on the alignment notches.

The accuracy of the the 1st GoTo is very minor to me, as it is easily corrected. My main concern is having the best reference point for the camera levels to set camera rotation, as that will impact my

A couple of weeks ago I received my new AP1100, and I am familiarizing myself with it. The only other mount I have had is a G11, which has a simple, straight-forward operation, with integrated levels

Last night, my new AP1100 (base) peformed great on very windy night. I got the AP1100 a couple of weeks ago, and I am very early on the learning curve. Per George's recommendation, I have yet to try a

Disabling the LAN-WLAN switching setting in BIOS did not fix the issue. Since this is a convenience issue only, I do not babysit outside in the cold, and having other things to do, I will leave this f

I went into BIOS settings and disabled the LAN-WLAN switching setting. This was a default BIOS setting. After the clouds/rain clears, I will have to see if this solves the problem.

My setup is semi-permanent, e.g. mount is setup on my back patio. I do not move my Losmandy FHD tripod and generally keep my mount attached. If it looks like bad winter weather is coming, I will carry

A few days ago, I received my AP1100, my 1st A-P product, to replace my ES/Losmandy G11 w/ PMC-8 as my main imaging mount. I have had connection issues using USB, with 2 of 5 nights Windows not recogn

After a good phone conversation with George (very generous customer service) and with more inspection, I found the MA on the FHD tripod was rotated 60deg. At the base there are 6 screws, at 60deg incr

Here is a look from the bottom:

A couple days ago I received my AP1100 mount with a LT2APM and 119FSA to mount on my Losmandy FHD tripod. Today, I am assembling the AP1100 on the FHD tripod and I noticed some problems, as the holes

George just emailed me to clarify the 119FSA-FP (and I assume 119FP) is only for ATS piers and will not interface with the Losmandy HD tripod. The part needed is LT2APM, which the 119FSA would attach

Jeffc, (Referring to mounting the AP1100 on the Losmandy HD tripod, with MA top.) Are the pieces you referred to the: 119FSA + 119FP? A-P also shows a part: 119FSA-FP that seems to be both pieces bolt

What I am referring to are design differences. With the Mach2 dependent on AE, it allows A-P to relax other engineering/design parameters and lower costs. This is not meant to denigrate the Mach2, it

Thanks for the responses so far! I think I will end up going for the AP1100 instead of waiting (how long??? Daleen said at least 2 more runs) for the Mach2, even though the AP1100's capacity is overki

Tonight, I just got the notification on the availability of a new AP1100. What should I do? Prior to the $1700 price increase, I was thinking I would get the 1st available Mach2 or AP1100, but the big
