I've successfully imaged with the wheely bars on 12" X 24" cement blocks which are 1" thick and embedded in my gravel. I leveled them making it easier to level the mount after moving. The fl was 1400m

A local shop that makes driveway gates welded one up to my specifications. Built like a tank. $100.00, no shipping.

Linwood, thanks for the reply. So if I was to just "enable" the REST API and do nothing else (virtual ports still assigned, etc.) it would all work as before? I got the impression from previous posts

I'm using Win 10, but it is probably inevitable that I'll have to go to some future version eventually. I believe that is the reason RestAPI was developed? The first part of the OP's question was answ

I saw the same thing a couple of times. Connecting manually to the V2 driver seems to have fixed this. Since I'm running my observatory remotely, these numerous and frequent software updates, with new
