What Brian said. If you want to use SGP with the ASI6200, it will be much more reliable if you use SGP v4.657 beta 64bit. Luca

#APCC

There is a setting in APCC Advanced Settings called “Prevent errant recalls”. If that’s checked, a recal too far from where the mount thinks it is will be rejected. Luca

As I mentioned above, I have been imaging with the ASI294MM Pro since the end of December. It replaced a ASI1600MM Pro on a TS ONTC 10in f4 Newtonian astrograph. These are the main differences between

Circling back on the runaway Dec axis issue when APCC connects to the mount. On Friday, I went ahead and completely uninstalled APCC, including deleting the folders with all the APCC data and log file

Nice one, Dean! I have been enjoying imaging with that camera as well. The sensitivity is really impressive. Luca

After you choose ASCOM under telescope setup you have to open Settings in the Mount Setup menu and choose the AP ASCOM driver. Make sure that the correct COM port is selected and you should be all set

Thanks Roland. I’ll wait for Howard’s phone call. Luca

Roland, I don’t have anything else running. The mount starts moving the moment I click connect in APCC. As you can see from the screen shot, I had not initialized the mount yet and I had not started t

Hi Howard, Thank you. I called AP and left my phone number. I just went to the observatory to power things up. I started with the mount at Park 3 (where I had parked it last night). Powered on the mou

Ray and Bill, I don’t use custom limits in the AE tab. I do use horizon and meridian limits. Here is where things got strange tonight. After I reproduced the error as I explained in my previous limit,

I cleared the error and clicked Find Home in AE tab. Homing took two tries to be successful. The CP5 light stays solid amber. At this point I started the ASCOM driver and sent the mount to Capella via

Thanks Bill. That was a good suggestion I just turned everything off rechecked the box to drive the ASCOM driver via virtual port on APCC and turned on power to the mount. The moment I clicked connect

Ray, Yes the mount was at Park 3 when I powered it on. I walked into the observatory and pressed the switch on the power strip in which the power supply connects. Roland, I followed your instructions

Hi Ray, No, I left the observatory minutes before turning on APCC and the mount was in the Park 3 position. Also, tracking would happen in RA, not Dec. This behavior only happens upon connection with

Hi Roland, The pin that limits Dec rotation is in place and the Dec axis has a hard stop in both directions, as you described. I have installed TheSkyX on the observatory computer connected to the Mac

Roland: I can install SkyX on the observatory computer but at the end of the day, even if it works within SkyX, that's not how I connect to the mount. I need it to work with APCC Pro. Ray: I have post

I don’t use SkyX in the observatory. I have it on my computer in the house, if it’s helpful for troubleshooting. Luca

The Dec limit problem continues. I had the mount in Park 3 position. I powered on the mount and started APCC. As soon as I clicked the connect button, APCC gave a Fault Triggered:South Limit error and

Thank you, Roland I am just as perplexed by this behavior and am inclined to agree that there has to be some leftover from the Mach1 setting that is messing me up. To your points: 1) and 2) The optics

I have been battling an issue with the Mach2 that is difficult for me to pinpoint. I am using the Mach2 with APCC Pro, I finish an imaging session by parking the mount to Park 3. When I start APCC at
