Very nice Dean.

Hi Pete, It seems that every time I run the NINA tool, and it's easy to run and I can get, what it tells me, very good polar alignment (it will be within small seconds), but when turn on PHD2 guiding,

Thanks Dean, I don't have the RAPAS, so I've been polar aligning using NINA's 3 point polar alignment tool. It's an easy tool to use, I'm not so sure on how well it's working; I will have to give Shar

Thanks Dean, Since last November I've had two clear nights (non-consecutive) and I spent both nights trying to remember how to use everything, with not a lot of success. I also have a Mach2 and I agre

Very cool Dean. Was this a temporary setup? Did you create a sky model or Dec-Arc model for the imaging session? Terry

Thanks Brian, I’ll give it another watch ASAP. Terry

Hi all, Is it me or my computer? I tried watching Dale Ghent's You Tube video "APPM Dec Arc modeling from NINA, explained" and I can barely hear anything. Let me know please and if it's my computer I'

Yes Bryan, I've read the PHD2 Best Practices guide and the other multiple discussions and watched the multiple videos on the subject. Thus I asked the question, because I cannot get to those "good cal

Thanks Brian.

Thanks Roland, I don’t obsess about it, I just wonder, that’s all. Terry

To all you PHD2 Experts, All the guide manuals and all the advice out there says that calibration should be done on the celestial equator at the Meridian line. Well, my neighbour has a huge spruce tre

I updated 3 other machines to ASCOM 6.6 and they all went off without a hitch and APCC is working on all the machines. So, mystery abounds as to why the update on the one machine removed the JPLEPH fi

Yes, the computer is always connected to the internet. Terry

Bizarre. Oh well, copying the file into the appropriate directory seems to be a cure for when things don’t work. My computer is a brand new machine, by the way, if that matters. Terry

Interesting. So it seems.that upgrading to 6.6 eliminates the file.

Hi Ray, FYI, since I had already gone done the wrong path and didn't hold off, and I had copied the JPLEPH file into the ASCOM\Astrometry directory, I tried a simulation run of a NINA sequence that in

Yes, everything looks fine. Like I said, I don't know if copying the file over is the right thing to do, but everything looks ok and everything is working.

I did a search for the JPLEPH file and found it in a few locations. I copied it and pasted in the ASCOM\Astrometry directory. Now APCC opens and I can initialize the mount. Not sure if that's the righ

No, it's not just Alex. Same thing has happened to me.

Ed, et al I've been using a Primalucelab Eagle since 2018 and I quite like it, so much so that I recently purchased an Eagle 4 pro. The original Eagle is an Eagle 2 pro that came with an i3 processor,
