APCC / APPM Frustration
Mine is checked as well but there’s actually a button to click to reconfigure. Says “Now”. Not sure why it worked for me but I was stumped as well. Just something to try.,,

APCC / APPM Frustration
I recall I went through a same frustration not too long ago and fixed it by clicking the “auto-config” button for the ASCOM driver. Apologies if this has already been suggested. There’s a lot here!

APPM requirements
Ray has also created a YouTube video for APPM. It’s intended for use with Sequence Generator Pro for camera control but essentially highlights the setup. Following the steps makes it quite simple. htt

Who needs absolute encoders!
This is interesting. One of the best things I've done to help my imaging with my 2017 Mach1 is to buy APCC-Pro and build a model each time I set up and just retire the guide scope. I live about 25 mil

Which GTOCP* connection do you use?
Ethernet for Mach1/CP4 and Optec Focuser. Camera control and guide scope are USB.

Dale, How long had you run your mount before changing the grease. The original grease still looks to be in good condition. Joe

So, I hear that the 1100 notifications have began, along with a 21% price increase...
I consider it as part of the strategy of investing in a diverse portfolio. My heirs can deal with the conversion of the various instruments when I’m done and gone.

USB and cold weather
Not sure this idea will help but my Nikon D800 uses a USB3 cable and I commonly had problems with connectivity, especially in the cold. Now I use the following: from the camera I use an 18 inch USB3 c

Thanks for the additional information. I'm portable so set up most every session. I have paver stones marked for the tripod points and the mount/tripod location marked with tape so I can use the same

Just curious, how long does it take to polar align using SharpCap Pro with the PoleMaster camera versus the PoleMaster camera using its native software?

Do NOT use ASCOM Platform v. 6.5 with APCC Pro
#APCC
#ASCOM_V2_Driver
Ray had noted that we should use v6.5SP1 but Karen’s email references v6.4SP1. Should we not use any version of 6.5 at this time?

APCC Pro / GOTO CP$ firmware upgrade
#APCC
I have the same concerns. I’ve upgraded the firmware in my CP4 a couple times and every time it appears to hang. There’s never any confirmation the upload is complete or the process is done. I’ve wait

Weather station to complement APPC Pro/APPM modeling?
#Mach2GTO
#APCC
For those that use a FocusLynx focuser, Jeff informed me the temperature gathered by the hub for focus compensation is available through ASCOM and can be used by APCC-APPM.

I don't own an environmental sensor that interfaces directly with my computer but I manually enter current temperature and barometric pressure from my backyard weather station into the APCC-Pro Pointi
