Hi to all, I need to know if someone here has gotten some retransmit communication errors with the new ASCOM driver and the GTOCP3 controller. Thanks. Yves

Hi Ray, The weather is supposed to be compliant here so I will reserve tomorrow night especially for that purpose. Thanks for your support. Regards, Yves _____ De : ap-gto@... [mailto:ap-g

Hi Ray, Do you have a plan to reintroduce the DestinationSideOfPier in the driver? Thanks. Regards, Yves

John, Run FocusMax in standalone mode to change the telescope driver. Don’t connect anything else to the driver before doing this. The way I imagine the situation is that the V2 driver is connected to

Hello John, My setup is working well with an Edgeport/8. Please don’t forget to change the telescope setting in FocusMax for the V2 version. The following is my setup layout for only one DB-9 serial c

Hi John, From which software did you initiate the slew (MaxIm or TheSky)? I did initiate the slew several times from TheSky 6 and got no such problems. Also, I can do unattended imaging session with A

Hi Dave, CONGRATULATION!!! When I processed my NGC6888 version (46 hours) last year, I think that the little bubble was a kind of donut effect or some kind of internal reflection. The little bubble wa

Hi all, Please not that the default RA backlash setting for the ASCOM driver is 00:00:15. This is equal to 15 seconds of time NOT 15 arcsec. 15 arcsec multiplied by 15 seconds equals 225 arcsec. At th

Hi Ray, I thought that APCC was already ASCOM compliant. If my understanding is correct, the new APCC who is supposed to be released at NEAF will be a PulseGuide like version. Regards, Yves _____ De :

3) the mount did stop slewing below -21F, but I have found out why. Apparently the shrinkage of all the parts put the worm gear mesh a bit too tight at that temperature. The 3600 mount has a very easy

.but it did not slew well below -18F and stopped slewing above 64x at -21F. It looks like the gear grease needs to be changed from thick summer stuff to a thinner winter formula. Rolando Freezo Hi Rol

Hi Bill, You wrote “First of all ACP will not image through the Meridian.”. This is not true anymore. Since ACP version 5.1, it’s possible to image past the meridian for a certain amount of time deter

Hi Pawel, This feature is not yet available from the keypad. You must use the TheSky’s terminal windows to send the command manually or write a script. Before using that command, the mount should be c

Hi Roland, I hope that this new command (:Rsxxxx#) will be supported in the new Astro-Physics Command Center. Thanks. Regards, Yves _____ De : ap-gto@... [mailto:ap-gto@...] De

Hi to all, I've read several posts about slew speed at low sub freezing temperature. In the past I observed that the main problem came from the stiffness of the grease in the RA and DEC gearbox. One s
