I don't have a CP5 but have a CP4 with latest updates, I am one of the early adopters of the CP4. It is used with my 1100. The issue of WIFI drop outs has been an ongoing issue from the start. I spent

Stellarvue probably has one to match their scopes and should be fine. For custom, Markus Ludes of Aries can supply a very high quality one to match the scope. All depends on how much you are willing t

It seems to me the first question asked should be....are you looking for a permanent setup or one that can be moved to different locations? Next....what telescope are you mounting on it? For a permane

Huetech used to sell a nice helical focuser that didn't rotate the camera. You can lock down all of the adjustments with thumb screws so once locked down there is NO flexure or unwanted movement. I ha

I would not try doing this with every thing connected. Sounds like a recipe for disaster for a remote setup (although Roland might put me at ease). Reminds me of the story about a new computer design.

Try the SATELLITE TRACKER PROGRAM....I think it is still free and available having been "resurrected" recently. I have used it for years with my old Celestron GPS 11" fork mount telescope. I have also

Excellent photo.

My CP-4 has always had an issue with maintaining wireless connections with 3 different Android devices (phones, tablets)...and others have same issue with some Apple products. I reported this about 4

With SkySafari make sure time, date is set correctly of course BUT each time you use it check on the upper screen to see what it shows as current time/date. If you saved a setup and call it up, it may

Woody has a good write up above. I had the Sky Saferi version....the Sky BT adapter was the one I used. You do need that utility he mentioned...COM2TCP for windows. I am not sure that is even availabl

I also use the older Satellite Tracker software. Have used with both my AP 900 and 1100 mounts as well as my Celestron 11" GPS PRO SCT fork mount. Mostly do visual but it is a neat program. The old pr

Download the instructions....basically there are two battery types based on your controller serial number. One is a direct replacement....the newer one has pig tails. The newer model ensures a better

I agree that practicing with your lathe will open a world of things you will be able to accomplish. I decided to get my lathe when I was quoted a very high cost to make a lens cell for a Zeiss flat fi

Jumping in here.....I also have a larger metal lathe, milling machine, etc.in my home shop. Your mini lathe is setup for ASA screw sizes and it does this with a lead screw that allows the appropriate

I added a GTO 1100 with CP4 to my existing GTO 900 CP3. One of the reasons I did was because of the Wireless. Sadly the wireless on the CP4 is problematic. I and others have issues of it dropping conn

I think you mentioned that you were setup on a sidewalk.....if so were you shooting over pavement, or perhaps over roofs of houses? Both of those conditions will destroy your image quality.

One solution to your short hand controller cord is to get an extension from AP. I have one I got about 10 years ago that adds 25' extension to the hand controller. It has the matching male and female

I agree donating to a school isn't a good idea....won't get much use unless you can get a dedicated teacher that is willing to be there at night....without pay. I highly recommend donating to a scout

Jumping in here with a suggestion. Can it be a memory allocation used for processing that needs to be increased in the computer....what do you have now for computer memory? I know several programs use

Thanks George....not certain I follow this..... if the CP3 controller is dedicated to the 900 mount and the CP4 controller dedicated only ot the 1100, I would think as long as you have a PE correction
