A good lightning talk by Tony Finch at this year's RIPE conference concerning where our computers get time. Relevant to us due to time being an important aspect of mount operation and how involved one

The best way to solve a problem is to avoid having the problem in the first place.

The L-Com cables I've used with my CP4 have not been notable in either the required insertion force or in how loosely they're retained. Not being notable in these aspects is probably a good thing. So,

At this point, I would just get better cables and stop blowing away time on bad ones. Can’t go wrong with L-Com cables.

It doesn’t work like that. The fan is not hardwired to the 12V input. The 12V input on these cameras feeds a voltage regulator that will end up drawing more current in an under-voltage situation, whic

Hi, congratulations on your new-to-you A-P mount. Because it has been living outside for some length of time, query the previous owner about any regreasing they have done so that you may assess when w

Just following up on this topic - When a client (such as APPM) contacts the API endpoint to tell NINA to start an exposure, it may supply some *optional* parameters for the exposure to be made with -

It is possible that your blank images from the west side of your sky was actually the wall of your house, and that the mount was confused before the model run even began. In this case, you first need

My hunch is also along Linwood's line of thinking. An SCT with mirror flop, or a focuser that has some sort of sag that is enough to pull the stars out of focus or out of round to cause plate solves t

I think the full error wasn't included in the original message here. It's below, and occurred for several driver property gets. What I suspect happened is that the mount and APCC lost contact with eac

It appears that groups.io cuts off email addresses. Sure, send me the log over on Discord and I can get a clearer picture of what isn't working.

Hi John, sorry I missed your message yesterday as I was running around here at NEAIC. This is a curious issue. Could you provide me with the corresponding NINA log from this attempted session so that

If you're using TSX only for mount control, it seems like you could cut it out of the workflow entirely. If your sequencing is done via MaximDL (at the direction of ACP?), just have MaximDL connect di

So, I gather you want jump headlong into astro-imaging and you're starting at 0. And of course you want only the very best, because who doesn't? I'm going to be frank: This is a bad stance to take whe

Park and Home might appear to be the same concept, or at least very similar ones, but they have some important differences. The concept of Parking is to put the mount in a defined orientation that no

I did in the past before I switched to a NiteCrawler on my 130GTX. I made my own cable for it using the pinout diagrams on Pegasus' website. It's described on page 21 of the UPBv2 manual: https://pega

UDP is perfectly fine for modern networks. It's not broadcast-based protocol, it's still unicast like TCP is. TCP is different in that it has congestion control, retries, and packet out of order detec

To simulate the time in Texas, you must set your computer to Central time. The driver knows its timezone offset from the configured time zone in Windows, not from the lat/long.

Hi, just catching up with this thread. It seems you've installed the NIGHTLY DEVELOPMENT BUILD of NINA, where there are LARGE WARNINGS in the release notes about things that might break, along with th
