Re dew heater control, to me, it's more about the feedback loop with temperature control. Temperature controllers, even if they have sensors built into them, without the feedback from sensors near the

Hi Martin, Do you have the AP V2 driver configured to use REST or virtual COM ports to connect to APCC? The one advantage to using the virtual COM ports is that APCC can detect when the connection fro

Thank you everyone for the helpful insights. Next time I will play a bit with altitude/density. In the long term I will also update the mirror cell from Orion UK to my design. It should be a step furt

Brian I am setting up my new 1100GTO I have already connected to the mount via ethernet just to see if the mount would move with my setup (it Did). I now have my scope on the mount now and balanced I’

Thanks Clayton. Frank

Thanks Joe, I should have looked around for a setting on that checkbox.

#APCC

Yep. It's a relatively small model (41 points or so) that usually takes about 20 minutes to run. I give myself about 45 min before astronomical dark to run everything and calibrate, etc. I played arou

Hi Phillippe, APCC Pro requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later. A simple web search is all you need to do to find it. Here is the link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net4

Actually, the mount did not flip because the target hour angle was within the meridian limit: From your APCC file: 0947776 2022-09-27 23:28:02.884: Info, SafeSlewStateMachine, East/West Meridian Delay

I tried virtual com ports / REST and have been trying to test for a few days now... I test more in astro-physic mail..

You would need to call them and ask, but I would think that since your CP4 upgraded you are good.

Brian and Ray, thank you! I followed your suggestions and used Deneb instead. Also took TheSkyX out of the test and used the APCC GOTO instead. Deneb showed up in the center of the image with the firs

Just to add a bit of praise that Ray is probably too modest for -- this is the sort of thing a lot of vendors should be doing, moving away from USB and COM ports. I suspect almost everyone has gone th

I found the error after all. A setting in Windows, in my user has been missing. I have set the following via Powershell: or is also possible. Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8727293/http-c

Thanks Ray! Exactly what I was looking for! Larry

Hi Ray, Many thanks! Ok, no worries, that would be a convenient feature to have, even through regedit or .config files. As a workaround, rather than syncing, I created a hard symlink (NTFS directory j

Update: I tried both suggestions, the loading a backup configuration and the "Now" button in Auto-Config and it worked. Now the driver can be launched from APCC again.

#APCC #Mach2GTO

The other day I set the RA limits (AE Tab of APCC) to 15 minutes for both the East and West sides. My understanding is this prevents the mount from slewing/tracking 15 minutes past the meridian (East

You can only load one model at a time. Incremental or augmenting models isn't possible at this time
