Mike that sounds like a reasonable computer. you might doublecheck the latest drivers (especially the graphics driver) are installed

Hi Mike >>>I run everything off of a laptop, so I don't think I am using a remote desktop utility, but how can I find out for certain ? Are you using a separate computer to "remotely control" your lap

my only issues around building my own powerpole style connectors is working with very light gauge wire. I found it tricky to crimp the L connector to the end and get it inserted without damaging the w

>>> That is true, but only for the latest version of APCC, in my experience for all previous versions every time I activated "Send Limit with offset to SGPro" it resulted in a failed meridian flip. ye

Hi Andrew >>>After I make these setting changes in APCC, what settings do you recommend for SGP Meridian Flip Options? Do you still recommend setting the Minutes Past Meridian to Flip to ~ 5 mins? If

John i looked at your screen caps you submitted to sequence generator, I think you are using and older version of APCC? I noticed you didn't have the Flip Offset Padding option on your APCC screens yo

if it's right at the meridian, this could be a good place in APCC to add a few minutes of the Flip Offset Padding to make sure the mount has crossed the meridian

Hi John Enable "Limit to Meridian" - that should do it you enabled send limits to SGP without additional settings that would make it work

Dave just a thought - are you running the latest APCC?

>>>I need to learn how to make a pointing model. I have APCC Pro and I think that the APPM functionality is included Yep

>>> I'm surprised anyone would stop guiding during image download? That would make for a lot of lost imaging times, especially if you do short exposures. not really. there's no imaging time during dow

I assume you would want to pause guiding, make change, then resume guiding? that's pretty typical for image download, focusing, etc.

Hi Linwood >>I just realized that every excursion appears to be immediately after an exposure. With 300s exposures that looks more like pattern than coincidence. that reminds me of someone having a si

great definition, nice one Linwood

>>>Yes, those are fine. Don't obsess about the 0 degree requirement. yep - the main thing is avoid calibrating near the horizon and avoid near the poles

>>> That's why I always want to see unguided data if possible. yes agreed on that Another possibility i've seen (not on AP mounts but others) is a bad PEC. If you see the spikes behavior during unguid

Hi Yanzhe I had a chance to go through your guidelog and have a few observations. I think you still need to track down the source, but we can probably rule out a few things I don't think it's in the g

>>> This issue was solved by Roland. He provided some updated Mach2 settings to accommodate my heavy OTA. nice! same here, the tunable settings really helped

Eric >>>the OTA was pointing relatively low towards the southern horizon for all 22. Curious what was your mount settle time in APPM? I have experienced similar issues, but only a handful fail with tr
