I voted again using the vpn trick but I also split the other group votes 50/50 to average down the other competitors Joe

Oh, also to view content as well. Joe B

Possibly use a vpn link to the States. I’m using my vpn to vote from all the different states so I can vote 25+ times on the same computer. Joe B

Can’t wait, I need another AP scope for sure. Be nice to image with both my AP130GTX and the AP110. Joe

Thanks Bill and it’s good to know that the Mach2 would sling the 12.5” around and easier to setup, at least less of a workout. I’m still in good physical shape so the AP1600 is not a big deal setting

Forgot to add what I have: AP1600AE, 12.5” AGO iDK, AP 10x32 port pier, WR35 focuser, STXL6303E. And, AP130GTX for WI viewing

I sent in my Portable setup to Brian as well but figured I would show all the astro nuts what I setup at my RV. I don’t have to move all the items too far as my RV has excellent storage space and tall

I meant 160 not 180 Joe

Bill, awesome image, enjoyed looking at full image drifting throughout the screen(4k of course). I will keep enjoying your works of art as I don’t have the time/skill yet to devote to even do a 4 hr r

Just wanted to thank the Astro-Physics staff for a wonderful 130gtx. Just drove up from TX to WI so it was like Christmas for me today and even clear. Though, I need to order the proper dovetail plate

I would like that upgrade if it would ever be an option for one of my AP1600s. Also, would be interested in a home position but for the time being I will just stick to web camera looking at tape piece

Wes, I will be interested in your asi air + findings but I know you have to wait a bit longer. I still think you’ll want a HC but that’s my opinion, just comes in handy for the quick nights without th

My main problems with bad gotos with any of my AP mounts has been wrong time, wrong date. DST Non DST as well Joe

I just put my mount on my front seat and buckled it in, seriously I did. Also, did the same for C14, no issues. Though, now I have an AP1600 so thats a bit too heavy for either seat. So I have been us

Yes, pretty awesome I would say. Joe B

While I do not have an data that would prove the AE/AEL encoders helped my imaging out, I can say that I have lived in Midland,TX for 3 years and prior to owning my AP1600 AE mount. I wouldn’t try ima

My two cents, periodically inspect the threads, clean threads with a brass brush, then a taste of never seize. If the threads look damaged, I chase them with a tap or die, but most important I try not

I personally use a little never seize on parts that I don’t want to seize up Joe

I had an extremely difficult time getting three extension parts apart(Nightcrawler extensions) but heating, cooling, swearing, strap wrenches, lubricants and etc did not budge. So, I ended up having t
