Marcelo, can you share what was fixed on your Mach2, maybe we can compare notes off-line. I am theresamarie11 at gmail dot com and feel free to e-mail me. Terri

Guide with medium to low aggression. Set guide exposure between 2 - 3 seconds. Guide once every 10 seconds, or perhaps every 15 seconds, depending on how accurately your model is working. Rolando

My Mach2 is now working well thanks to the people at AP :-). Yesterday I built my first modeling, surprisingly easy. And I know that the main goal of an encoder mount is to eliminate guiding, but I am

Most of the time it doesn't. That was unusual. I haven't been able to repeat the low number or the spread between runs. Remeshing the gears hasn't made much difference. I've considered swapping the DE

Yes. Probably not. The worm would not vary between worm cycles. More likely it is a gear mesh and/or differences between worm wheel teeth. If there is dirt, grit, etc., on some teeth that could also c

Ray: Thank you for looking at my data. During the afternoon of Sep 2, prior to the runs I sent to you, I removed the RA box. I thought maybe there was "gunk" deep in the teeth of the worm. Maybe that

Curtis, I looked at your logs, and unless the image scale had changed, I do not have a definitive explanation for the dramatic change in periodic error. It may be due to the RA gear mesh needing adjus

My personal apology, Bill. I’m not bashing your employer – just very frustrated with its problems in the last Update. I have never owned an Apple product, nor want to, or used any another OS – MAC or

Perhaps Bill is a little tired of you bagging on the company he works for? Perhaps its a bit old listening to you bicker about things that arent even real? This is a forum to talk about A-P products,

Hi Curtis, I got your logs, but you didn't include the debug, and ppc files, which I would also like to see. Also, can you provide the ASCOM log files for that time period? You can use the AP V2 ASCOM
