I tried the browser page and only get a blank page. I haven't tried it again since I changed the port number. Norm

Does anyone know the settings on Sky Safari 5 Pro to be able to connect with the CP4 directly? I tried putting in the IP address, but I do not know the Port number the program calls for. OR, is that i

Kent, I, too, have had times when I have done 15 and 20 minute unguided shots with perfectly round stars...and like you, I cannot get repeatability. I think several factors come together just right to

I forgot to mention I have actually measured this "movement" by imaging a star over a period of time without guiding, then measuring the "smearing" of the object on the frame and calculate the distanc

I'd like to chime in here and get some opinions. In my own experience, I don't care how much I have corrected the polar alignment, flexure, guiding technique there is still one problem out there that

Anthony, Thanks for all your input...stay safe over there! Norm

OK, I will start from the beginning... 2 possibilities 1) autoconnect---YES used when the mount is permanently mounted and polar aligned mount begins in a parked position (1 or 2 or 3) power applied..

I agree, but mine is set to autoconnect-no...it should not start tracking until AFTER I tell it to resume from park. Norm

Anthony, I think you are missing something. If you are required to tell the mount to resume from park and the mount has moved from that position because it has ALREADY started tracking prior to that c

That is the way I remember my mount acting, Jim...It doesn't make sense to start tracking when you have to tell the mount to resume from some parked position that it is no longer positioned.. Anthony,

I can agree that it should start tracking upon power up in the autoconnect-yes configuration, but it doesn't make sense to start tracking after power up in the autoconnect-no configuration... Norm

One problem with tracking immediately upon power up would be error from resuming from park. Example: If you are set to autoconnect OFF then the menu that follows power up is 1) location and 2) north p

Thanks Anthony I could have sworn that, in the past, I have powered up the mount and it stays parked until I tell it the location and resume from park...then it begins to track at the last known rate!

I am truely confused. I have owned AP mounts since 1999 and thought I knew how to operate them. Night before last, I had planned to use my 1200 for visual observing while doing imaging elsewhere. I po

I think that degree of guiding is just the mark of a good system in general...I have both and AP 1200 and a Paramount and can squeeze the same out of both of mine... (80mm AP Guidscope with STL guider

I recently bought and received a set of rings for my AP 130 and noticed they have changed the finish from the paint/powder coat to a black anodized finish. I already own 3 other sets of rings of the p

Werner, Is there a particular reason you are so very concerned over the oxidation on the pins in the connector? I have had an occasional spot of oxidation and it has done nothing to interfere with the

Sorry, The pictures are in the files section under 900 PAS cover. Norm

The cap from Astromart will indeed fit SOME 900 mounts. I bought the cap and it fits both my 900 and 1200 quite well. I have posted 2 pics showing the cap on my 900. Norm

I agree...he has better things to do! You must admit, however, his customer service is SECOND TO NONE!!!!!!!!!! Norm
