The other day I set the RA limits (AE Tab of APCC) to 15 minutes for both the East and West sides. My understanding is this prevents the mount from slewing/tracking 15 minutes past the meridian (East

If you are using APCC then after a slew wait about 10 seconds then in the AE tab on APCC disable the encoders. Wait about a minute and then check to see if the stars are round. If so, then wait a few

Hi Roland, I have a 10A 13.8V Laboratory Bench Supply powering the mount. It is located at the base of the pier and uses the same power cable that came with the mount. I had a productive video call wi

I have a conference call with Mike and Dave early tomorrow on another issue which may be related. I will bring this up at the same time. Thanks Roland. Craig

This is definitely a configuration item we should have available. For light payloads it is not that big an issue, but with much heaver payloads it becomes quite significant. Setting the ramp up and ra

Yep, definitely stops instantly, which is why the motor box shakes a bit and the OTA oscillates. If it takes a few seconds to ramp down then I should notice that. Craig

I have a Planewave CDK20 on an AP1600GTOAE mount. The OTA + instruments weigh about 160lbs and the mount is spec'd for 220 lbs, so the payload is well within the capacity of the mount. But when I slew

Following Rolando's suggestion I rang David at AP to discuss the procedure. He is going to read it over the next couple of days and possibly edit it to match more closely what they do at AP to tweak t

Emilio, I have finally found a solution for meshing the gears and now I can slew the telescope with no noise. I created a new topic with my procedure so as not to digress from your original topic Crai

I have an AP1600GTO with CP4, auto adjusting worm box and absolute encoders. Currently, I am installing a new OTA on the mount so I decided it was a good time to service the mount, including re-greasi

I was not as fortunate. My 1600 w/auto adjusting worm mesh, is about 5 years old and I am putting a new OTA on it. So I figured while switching telescopes I would service the mount, including re-greas

Hi Ray, Excellent, exactly what I needed. My application does interact with the V2 driver so I will use that method to load the model. Eric, the reason I need this feature is because my 4 targets are

Is there a method for APCC to load a DEC Arc model, either automatically, or from a remote command? For example, I have 4 targets, each has its own DEC ARC model which is saved in a folder with the ta

Karen, Given the current delays and increased cost with International shipping, it would be weeks to months before I would get the grease kit here in New Zealand. I did watch the video linked above an

Is there a video or document that details re-greasing an AP1600 mount? Craig

Hi Ray, I can confirm that the fixes to the DEC sign problem are now fixed in APCC Pro 1.9.0.7. Thanks Heaps! Craig

Since the V2 driver can talk to APCC using a virtual COM port and my ATrack program uses COM port communications with Voyager, it would be easy to add a COM port command as above, sent to APCC. Craig

For my project it would be easy enough to call APCC with the filename of the model to be loaded. Since I only do 4 targets I could create these models ahead of time. If the tracking for a particular t

Does this mean there is an API available for APCC for use by 3rd party software? If so I could build the 4 DEC arcs and when I switch targets ATrack could send a request to APCC to load a previously s

If the same target is observed with NINA, will APPM be requested to do a new map or does it use an old one? In my case I would be observing the same 4 targets throughout the year. If NINA could build
