Also, are the catalog databases going to be updated as planned? I recall someone from AP mentioned here that the double star catalogs might be updated. I am really looking forward to that. Thanks.

Hi Alex, This is great. Thanks so much for all your help! Kent

Thanks, Luca. That is a perfect recommendation. I didn't want to use alligator clips. Glad to hear you have no problems in your very cold temps. Thanks!

Thanks very much, Alex. That is good to know and the LiFePO4 may do just fine for me in my cold. The last few days I have been observing for a couple of hours each night in temps below freezing but st

In the winter, I often observe in below freezing temperatures. So my 1st battery was one from Kendrick where I could use 15v instead of 12v. 15v was recommended in the AP 1100 manual. I am looking at

Thanks Bryan. I am very happy to have it solved though I was looking forward to some manual viewing tonight. I suppose I can still do that if I really want to :o). I do only have the keypad. I see the

It's working perfectly now. Tried many objects. All really close. Yes, I have seen your comments on Sync vs Rcal as well as in the manual, and so I rarely use Sync. Only when the mount is completely o

Thanks so much, Roland. I am back in business. I don't have a Park 5 in my keypad, but I still put the scope into the Park 5 position manually. I noticed then that East was working so all I did was ma

I am getting ready for some observing tonight. I decided to try a Go To on Mars. No movement at all. Tried some other objects. Go To does not work. Still only the N, S, and W buttons work but East doe

I am still only guessing on the CP4 firmware but I had my mount sent to George in July, 2018 and if I recall correctly he updated the firmware. Version VCP4-P01-11, 12/19/17 is the latest before July,

I am still looking into the CP4 firmware version but I see in the version history there have been lots of updates. I haven't updated mine since using the mount so it is at least, well over a year old.

Thanks very much for the help, Liam. I just checked and the light is always amber. When I turn it on it is amber and when I slew in all the directions, N, S, W and East, the light remains amber. I don

Hi, I have an AP 1100 mount. Everything was working fine last night until I did a Go To. I thought my mount was lost and that I accidentally synced on something. I tried syncing on a known object maki

To answer some of your other questions. I would use these a lot, probably almost every night. I live in Flagstaff and I use my Tec 200FL practically every night and I view lots of doubles. Until I bou

New double star catalogues would be awesome. The 2 I use the most to find double stars are the Bayer Stars and Flamsteed Stars. Some of the Bayer Stars are already easy to find on the keypad but if I

I have the old Asus Nexus 7, I'll have to give it a try. I have been using the AP keypad but the database is somewhat limited and so I would like to get Sky Safari working too.

Thanks Robert. I didn't know that. I use Android. I am going to try my old SkyFi and if that doesn't work I will consider version 3 or should I get an ipad instead. Unless someone figures out how to g

Thanks very much, Robin. This helps a lot. I will give all your settings a try sometime. Thanks again!

For those using the SkyFi, is it the old one or the new SkyFi 3? I have the old one. I briefly and unsuccessfully tried to get it to work but will have to try harder if I know others are successful wi

Thanks again, Don. I'll follow your advice and clean everything up. I live in Arizona so very dry here.
