Well I am around but in New Mexico…anyways, thanks for your reply..I tried that several times didn't work. I finally just bit the bullet and upgraded to Sky X, which works. I suspect that something go

This is way off topic, I know but someone might have a solution. Am running Sky 6.60 (S6), has run just fine will connect via the Astro-Physics (AP) ASCOM driver (W10 pro system, running a 1600GTO). A

Level of service factors into it as well. I am working to get my setup here, the level of service will not be as high as other places…but neither will the cost per month. Some places do everything, ot

Ah…getting the setup going here in Western NM. What is the seeing down there, any idea? Always curious as to what others are getting. Mike J. Shade: mshade@... In War: Resolution In Defeat: Defiance

Thamks Ray. I am actually in NM, so we I am one hour ahead of AZ, TZ 7 with DST. AZ does not have DST... Weird issue, I know. Mike J. Shade: mshade@... In War: Resolution In Defeat: Defiance In Vict

Thanks Ray...this is the only log file that corresponds to the night in question. The time in the ACP log is UT, NOT local time. I have Bob Denny looking into this (ACP) as well. I have the 1600 runni

If you look at the ACP log portion, below it is at 06:57 UT. It did ONE meridian flip earlier in the night, it did not do the second one. From: main@ap-gto.groups.io [mailto:main@ap-gto.groups.io] On

Somewhat off topic, but others might have the same problem. New computer for observatory, W10 pro. I use an Icron Ranger which is a USB extender over Ethernet. The computer is in the control room, Eth

Thanks. I know it is "not" needed, but there are very infrequent times when I need to know where things are pointing. Mike J. Shade Mike J. Shade Photography: mshadephotography.com In War: Resolution

Thanks...the reason I am using The Sky 6 is for a visual representation of where things are pointed. There are (rare) times when I need to tell the system where to point for whatever reason. I could e

Thanks, I don't intend to use TSX for camera control, just in part mount control. The current system is Sky 6/tele-api bridge/AP ASCOM driver/Maxin 6.28/Focusmax 5.xx/ACP. This works like a champ. The

Thanks, Tele-API was an ASCOM bridge or some such to use Sky 6 if memory serves. I got the new systems with W 10 pro as the automatic updates can be shut off via the registry. I did this with a W10 pr

Question: for systems (1600CP4/1200CP3) if they are run by computer only, do I still need to change the time in the handpad or will the control systems get the right time from the computer? And, if I

I didn't see any actual seeing data from an actual seeing monitor. The locations east of the Chiricahua Mountains tend to have generally poor seeing from the data I have seen. That is to be expected g

Interesting. I didn't see any seeing data shown on their site though. any idea what it runs? I know what mine is here, but I am further north of them in Catron County. Mike J. Shade Mike J. Shade Phot
