Thanks much, Ray. Greatly appreciate the info.

I've been using NINA to image with my AP1100 (no encoders) in my observatory. I connect NINA to the AP driver and everything is working fine. The only thing I have not done is to set up safety limits

I can't stop laughing along with having MORON written on my forehead. I just responded to you in Discord- that fixed the problem. Nepal did look interesting in Raiders of the Lost Ark :-).

Thanks Linwood. I went down your checklist of items and was testing during the day. It is still not slewing to the correct coordinates that I enter. Also, the Sky Atlas is showing the correct coordina

I set up in NINA for the first time yesterday. I was asked to have NINA sync with the mount or vice vera. I synced NINA to the mount/telescope (AP1100 in park 4). It slewed fine during the day. Now tr

cytan- just a FYI I bought both the 2600MM and MC when they first became available and have had no issues whatsoever using them with SharpCap. They also connect with NINA but I have not used NINA exte

Thanks for the quick response- appreciate it.

I have an AP1100 in a permanent observatory on top of my garage parked in position 4. During the past 3 years, I've only imaged about 120 hrs per year. I read in the manual to use the keypad to move t

I am in a permanent setup in an observatory. Power comes from my house up to the observatory to a 110/120VAC to 12 vdc, 25A power supply which runs up to the GTOCP4 control box and the scope where I h

I have an 80mm piggybacked on top of my C11" on my AP1100. Cameras on both with filter wheels and auto-focusers 7 USB ports. I use to guide the 80mm with the OAG on the C11 and that works most of the

I have the Pier Tech Pier 3 in my ROR with my AP1100 on it. It is on a cement pier over 20” high and is very stable. Definitely check it out. You can see some of my observatory images here: https://ww

Thanks for the suggestion, Ray. I think I will ask them. Bruce

Bob How did you make and install "solid mirror locks"? Also, I assume you still built a pointing model- correct?

Hi Brian Gotcha- great images...... as I dabble in my Bortle 6 below average seeing skies most of the year. :-( Thanks for the info. The guiding is working ok and the PHD2 multi-star features seems to

Thank you all for the feedback. I am doing OAG now and can easily get good tracking and round stars up to 5 minutes but the guiding can be finicky at times. So, it is a thought to try but I will think

I am once again re-thinking if it makes sense to attempt unguided imaging on my C11" EdgeHD where I have now locked down my primary mirror and upgraded to the Optec FastFocus system where focusing is

For my 1100GTO, I built a cement pier that runs over 4 feet under ground and is about 15 feet above street level with Pier-Tech adjustable steel pier on top of that. It has worked great for over 3 yea

For the 1100GTO, I have this simple ADM bracket to work perfectly......

Nice comparative list, Luca. I also went from the 1600MM Pro to the 294MM Pro and my 2600MM Pro arrives on Wednesday. I am hoping it does have the characteristics, as you described, for the 6200MM Pro

Thanks for the info, Bryan. This is very helpful.
