One should not blindly change commas to decimal points in windows. The proper way to do this is to choose a region in the windows control panel and then do not mess with changing any of the numeric fo

Hi I noticed that the driver had park set to current position and not park 3. That will probably fix things but I have not tried yet. The setting was set in the past. Not sure why it changed. Tom

Well I disagree with always using apcc to do a park. In Voyager if you are done for the night it should park where you have set the park. If you are automating everything, the final step will be to pa

Actually, I think that this is something to do with Voyager. Perhaps a new release. When I am done at night, i select point at zenith in Voyager. It is not park. Then I stop tracking in Voyager. Last

Last night from Voyager, I did a move to the zenith and stopped tracking so I could do flats. When they were finished I attempted to park the scope. It reported it was parked. My usual location is par

11 months. That's nuts!

Well my first shot at this was pretty poor. I had very inconsistent results, that overshot what they should be been when I adjusted the tilt plate. They they went in the wrong direction! I finally got

Yes I have noticed this myself. Stacking the images usually reduces the abberations. The direction of tilt shown by CCD inspector is the same as before. I wonder if the new ap mount is now more accura

Hi Not only that, but I have an MGBox V2 and a Sensorpush high accuracy sensor for temperature and there is a three degree difference between them....

Joe, That image is close to perfect. You would never see any funny stars even with a 4 foot wide print. So my next outing will be to tighten everything up. That includes the adapters and the screws on

Ok, that's how it should be. Was never like that for me, from day 1. Did they send it to Japan? Seems like the normal situation is 4 months without Japan!!

Hi Sounds like a plan. Did you remove the nightcrawler and put back the stock focuser when you shipped it to tak? I would hope they don't rely on a take focuser that could be out of alignment also. To

Hi The image may be somewhat misleading. The horizontal zoom, results in an image of 85" wide. So it is extremely zoomed in. CCD inspector shows a tilt of 3-4 arc seconds. Interestingly, I look throug

The camera is a full frame ASI6200. As to going back to Takahashi, that's always a pain from up here in Canada. From what I have heard it could be a few weeks or months if it has to go to Japan.

Hi Now that I have my new AP1100, I am seeing the starts in their true shapes. Gone are the guiding issues and so on with the new APPM models. So, this is the first image taken as a test unguided at 5

Actually, the true story is that 20 years or so ago, the plaques for the first goto mount were sent to the paint shop. When it returned, it was seen they accidentally dropped an O. They stuck with it.

Something is off. I just finished my model tonight, and I do not have encoders. I skewed all over the sky using Voyager and the worse case deviation from perfect was 3 arc seconds. Yes 3!

I have an 8th generation i5. It has quite a few USB 3 ports. It also has a thunderbolt port which I think they all do now. I use this with a Thunderbolt to 10GBe network adapter which is 10x faster th

Hi The question is does one need to connect to the AP driver in APCC? I have seen comments that it does if you want to use your model. So. So do you Ray? I have 4 virtual ports that appear and a my so

Hi I have run into this three times lately. The AP driver is set to connect automatically as is the mount in APCC. However, the mount has not yet initialized. Seems to maybe stop if I automatically se
