Dear, I have Mach1 mount, bought end 2007. So the earliest model. I am thinking of regreasing the mount and look at the various documents available. One of these is named Removing and Re-installing th

Thanks ! Baader will be the way to go for me. Pierre

In my case, this would be CR2430 but I read that I need to order from AP (E0334), right ? S/N is 2303GTO. Looking at the instructions, I am somewhat reluctant to open the keypad and replace it myself.

Dear, after months of inactivity (lack of time and terrible weather), I finally could bring my Mach1 under the stars tonight. This to discover that my keypad (S/N 2303GTO) has lost its database. I rel

Thank you for this clarification. In the meantime, I posted 2 pics, should one want to have a look: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1453160/2016-08-22%2017.50.17.jpg and https://dl.dropboxusercont

First of all, happy new yesr from Belgium. Quick question on the RAPM1 (the Right-Angle Polar Alignment Scope Adapter for Mach1GTO) : how much will it add to the back of the mount (I need to check if

Hi Percy, Interesting. I suspect there is some machining involved. How did you guarantee that the polar scope is exactly aligned with the axis ? CS, Pierre

(This one is probably for Ray) Hello, I am running the 5.0.1 ASCOM driver and am experiencing a problem in using it with SkymapPro V11. Configuration is fine, opening the connection as well; a crossha

Hi Peter, Back to my last remark... Indeed. I did re-read your post but do still have some doubts - correct me if I am wrong or misunderstood something. My understanding is that you have 2 steps : - s

Hello, definitely, the PAS is no longer an issue for me. I am happy with its accuracy now that the shimming operation has been performed. And the "meridian flip" method with is described in details in

Peter, shimming was the key for me. You might be interested by post #21964 CS, Pierre

Hi Didier, Possibly a side effect of alignment: you are dealing here with large pixels and small focal length (undersampling), and some field rotation as well. Some stars fall on one or two pixels onl

Hello, my Mach1 (received about 1 year ago) was PE-checked with PEMPro right after reception. Without PEM, I had about 2.76 arcsec peak-to-peak (well below specs !) and after PEM training, 0.88 arcsec

Chris, something puzzles me in your description. You write: " > First I did the altitude axis adjustment and within 3 flips of the scope about arc In the altitude adjustment, you eliminate the N-S by

Hi Roland (and all), in post #20964 it was mentioned that no scope was used but a precision lab encoder. Is this still the case or was it changed (the present post refers to PEMPro) ? CS to all, Pierr
