I have been in contact with the the software developer assigned to work with us at Simulation Curriculum. She has responded and is looking into the Mac OS issue. This is not an issue with MacOS, nor a

Using the supplied serial cable with a USB to serial converter, even the FTDI unit that we sell, will still be limited in its reliability to that of USB. Chris is referring to a native serial port on

Hi Alex, For starters, I would hook up a USB cable as your backup COM port in APCC. That's just a good idea regardless. Ethernet connections through a network are usually our preferred method for comm

Hi Sebastien, First off, remember that the declination axis does not track unless a model is present, and then it would only be extremely slow. Dec spikes pretty much have to come from software that i

Hi Alex, Do you have a "#" sign, "$" sign or a ":" in your main password? The pound sign absolutely cannot work because it is the terminator for all AP commands. In other words, if your password is: 1

Hi Andrew and all of you other fine Gentlemen, Please bear a few things in mind about a potential high performance mini-mount: We can't just scale down a Mach 2 (or Mach1, even) to design this mount.

George runs a Shuttle fanless in his observatory. AP has one in our observatory, and there is another one in our office. All 3 have been absolutely flawless. I haven't looked at the newer versions. Th

Hi Steve, Dave asked me to write the response. I have attached a simple drawing in a PDF that he provided. The good news is that the 6 perimeter holes are NOT through-holes. The only 2 holes of possib

Hi Steve, I'm going to refer this to our mount assembly wizard at the shop. Look for a response from Dave. Howard

Hi Brad, I can't help much on the Maxim side, but regarding the AP V2 driver, I'll mention two things: I'm sure you are aware, but just in case, the pier side is displayed on the driver's window just

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Do NOT make your roll-off walls so low that you only barely clear the scope. Allow for the largest diameter scope that you ever plan to own, and then allow a bit of cushion. Un

Nicely done! That first good image is always a special one. Print it; frame it; and hang it on your astro-trophy wall!

Hi Gentlemen! I've been working with a team here at AP and a software developer from Sky Safari. For the present, they have added Mach2 support, Park 3 and Park in place to the existing Park 4. They a

Use the pulseguide option. That way, the guide pulse is sent as a timed move command - i.e. move west for 30 mSec - which is handled by the GTOCP3. There are no timing issues because the timing is in

Ray and Marty, Please Cc me on your further conversations. I want to stay in the loop! To all who have contributed to this thread, thank you! When we solve this issue, I will try to post a summary of

Hi Marty, Give me a call at AP. I noticed that your driver is connected to an IP address instead of a virtual port. That means that it is connecting to the mount independently from APCC. If you have T

Hi Luca, I'm sorry that I missed this thread. Give me a call at AP. I can remote into your system with Teamviewer and have a look. HKH

Hi Gents, I talked with Dan Bisque yesterday. They have a bug in their mount control that will be fixed in the next daily build release. Keep you TSX current!

The GTOCP3 will work, but the personality will need to be changed. I can send you a script to do this.
