If you have APCC open, you can go to Settings > Edit ASCOM Driver Settings... and look in the lower left corner of the resulting window. Change Park To: to Park 5 and make sure that Unpark From is set

Hello everyone. Here's an update on this project. The plugin system in NINA 1.11 has been more or less finalized and 1.11 build 93 contains the new Plugin Manager. Francesco has made Smart Meridian Fl

What would they need signal for? Phone GPS for location and its own internal clock are all that are required.

I think most people just use a polar align app on their phone to get a matching image when out in the field. It's what I did when I used the RAPAS. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/polar-scope-align

In this case, the flip will occur when the target reaches an angle on the other side of the mount that is clear of any defined obstruction. The target will then get recentered and such (if that option

Right, in NINA and other apps, the parameters for a vanilla meridian flip are straight forward: You specify a desired flip delay once for when you reach the meridian, and an optional pause-before valu

To be fair, this kind of thing has been in SGPro for a while now as well, but it's done through a different mechanism (APCC send the limits to SGPro's network API, where this plugin reads and interpre

Hi all, this aimed at users of APCC and NINA; specifically those who are using the current development train of NINA, version 1.11. I've been working with another NINA contributor on a plugin for NINA

Correct me if I'm wrong, but T-Point will not give you tracking modeling when using it with a non-SB mount, correct? Point modeling doesn't really amount to much in astrophotography when there are thi

Hi Shailesh, It's note really clear as to what your goals are. Is it to use a planetarium app to drive the mount around the sky for visual and occasional light astrophotography use, or are you looking

What Linwood said. I'll add that it's a good idea to not fixate on a single exact number when it comes to back focus distance. There are manufacturing variations in the objective or mirror of the scop

There's a way to mirror COM ports on Windows, although it's a little janky and a bit manual. If you go to the com0com project on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/files/com0com/3.0

Eh. Definitely something up with the device. Perhaps related to the thing that Jeff mentioned. I've built my own temperhum-type devices using the same sensor that's in the MGBox (the Bosch BME280, and

ASCOM logs end up under in your user's Documents\ASCOM folder, subdivided by date. This is an odd issue you're having. I also use the ASCOM OCH because I have 3 different devices that source info for

The same clock discipline considerations that exist when syncing time to the PC clock would also exist when syncing to the mount. The PC clock and mount's own clock should also be in sync for reasons

You just need more leverage than what an allen wrench can provide. Use a longer device, such as a long phillips head screw driver, instead.

Time syncing is complex enough of a topic that it's best to let dedicated apps which handle the intricacies involved do the driving on this. There are entire professions and academic pursuits based ar

Thank you, Konstantin I'll take your word for it :) Going off of my experience with a Mach1 and 1200GTO, it's great to know that the new design is incorporated in the current iteration of the 1100. I

Oh awesome, thanks for cluing me in. I must have missed mention of this before.

Hi Marj, Just so I’m clear and don’t pick up something that I might already be getting, 1100s in the run that is currently undergoing assembly and shipping will not feature the S1100CSA, correct? Woul
