Same computer or a different one? -Steve

And dithered guiding would also contribute no? Steve

I might should have maybe mentioned I image with a 12.5” RC and AP1200GTO with a image scale of 0.62 arc seconds. -Steve

Just for clarity what is considered suitable imaging alignment? How close do you want the PA to be? I had always thought that having it too close was harder for guiding as it would be rocking on both

Thanks Ray, From the second model what am I looking for in the data to determine if the polar alignment is in need of attention? Which terms are the indicators for PA? I'm guessing that Polar Axis Ele

Hey Ray, After some learning curves I am modeling as I type. I've run a successful short run and loaded the model when asked at the end. The east side numbers looked better than the west. Is there a r

Thanks Ray. I'm making a list of things I need to do to get this system working as needed again after the move to the dome. -Steve

Ray, I'm late to this discussion and am in the process of finalizing a transfer from the roll off roof to my 12' dome. I've polar aligned using my PoleMaster but can't say I'm overly confident as I ha

Is there a practical time allotment that we should keep our logs files? It occurs to me that over the years these files could consume a great deal of space on our imaging systems. And if there is that

From my foggy recollection it wasn’t APCC but rather an issue with the driver itself but again….not really sure as it was some time ago. -Steve

Ray, Any chance this is similar to my issues periodically with ACP sending a park command and never seeing it parked although it is in the parked position? In that case it froze there not allowing the

And that again is what’s missing in many companies these days…..personal and available tech support. AP leads in this and many other fields. Thanks Karen! Looking forward to hopefully seeing the gang

Morning Roland, I think we’ve had this discussion before but can’t find a trace of it anywhere. Is there any chance you have a flattener or flattener/reducer that will work with my OGS 12.5” f/9 with

Another suggestion worth looking into I hope is your power settings in Windows as I have found that USB connections can be powered off if not active after a period of time. Also check the Device Manag

For me with APCC, ACP Expert, MaxIm, FocusMax, and the rest of the automation software/hardware and weather stuff that may be pushing it for me but then again I often over do the specs to be safe. -St

Thanks for the feedback. Using the links below it seems a similar NUC built with about the same configuration is still in the original ballpark. Main difference I saw was the larger SSD choices being

Thanks for the feedback Linwood. Yes this unit does have a cable that hooks up to the MB for a single RS232 port and the others will have to be via USB to Serial and for that I already have this StarT

I started this thread back in July and here it is September and I’ve finally built the deck and have the dome almost finished. I need to install the motors and controls but I’m back on the NUC again a

Mike you may want to look at Adam Block’s series on image processing. It’s extensive and covers a vast majority of processes and is a subscription based service backed with an active forum. -Steve
