The mount parked itself after the failure but in each case it was off. Sometimes about 1hr in RA sometimes both DEC and RA are off. Each time I had to release the clutches and reset the mount to the P

Ah, the joys of running systems-of-systems. Yet again I had a flip failure, like the one previously reported. I posted this on Discord as well. Running my AP1100 mount with APCC and using the Smart Me

Very nice.

Indeed. Similar situation as I had. One summer I had a portable fan blowing air in the PS. Got some powerwerx, one for the mount and one for everything else. No issues since. Mikey

So I tested the flip again this evening. This time I set long exposures on my camera to make sure the flip time would be within the exposure time range. NINA did what I expected. Since the next 20 min

Well, I tried to recreate the issue with the meridian flip this evening. I used 33 Cyg instead of IC 1396 so that I could start the sequence earlier (it has a similar DEC and so should mimic the same

This does sound a lot like my issue. It’s cloudy with high cirrus clouds tonite but stars should shine through enough for me to test out some ideas.

Yes.

Looking for some insight into what may have occurred during my imaging run last evening. I had my 1100GTO set to do a smart meridian flip using NINA. This has worked in the past, but last night someth

Looks like there isn’t much in the new version that I would care about. So I’m forgoing the upgrade for now. Finally got another clear night without a full moon so I’m adding data to my M8 project.

Yeah. I’m not sure why some think ASCOM is a problem. It’s not perfect but it allows all my gear to work together rather seamlessly. I’ll probably give 6.6 a go soon as well.

For those of us who do not have a permanent observatory (or in my case a semipermanent) the ability to have NINA automate the Dec arc model is fabulous.

I also run Belarc Advisor on my PCs periodically, and always just before an upgrade or replacement. Provides lots of useful information, including license keys (although I have found some missing for

Thanks Ray. That was it. I had readjusted the OTA’s home position with the clutches loosened and then forgot to reset the home limits.

#APCC

Ok. But I was surprised that the message was displayed when executing a park command. Park4 will, by definition, be below my DEC limit.

#APCC

Recently, whenever I try to park at position 4, APCC responds with the message "WARNING - DEC Limit was reached! Click here to close ...". I expect this message as I have limits set, but you can't dis

#APCC

Haven’t yet. But the latest NINA was telling me I had an outdated ASCOM which I thought was strange as I always keep fairly up to date. I guess that was a clue😎

Merry Christmas to all.
