AP 1100 - 2 minutes unguided
I usually do 90 seconds with my C14 Hyperstar & 1100 unguided for narrowband if it's a particularly faint DSO then 120 seconds. But there will be a few subs discarded usually due to mirror flop. I don

How to run Sky Safari on a Windows 10 PC
Does anyone know of an easy way to transfer app and scope equipment settings and observing lists without a cloud subscription? I use SkSafari 6 Pro on iOS now and OSX before I switched from Mac to PC

Problem with GOTOs in Keypad
The updater is not working. I follow all the instructions and it gets to "AWAITING HOST" and it stalls there. The program says "Sending page" and nothing. Database loader tool is 4.12. Keypad is v 4.1

Problem with GOTOs in Keypad
Ah OK I had the Keypad opened and checking connections this week, as the right buttons would sometimes be unresponsive. I may have unseated a battery when working on it.

Problem with GOTOs in Keypad
This was my first night under EST so I made sure the Keypad settings were updated correctly. It would skew to the right stars to calibrate no problem. But when I would enter a Messier, NGC, or IC DSO

Yahoo Groups sunsetting - and removing - the Files feature.
I wish Yahoo Groups would just die already it is such a useless antiquated format in 2019.

Mach2 price and specs are now on the AP website
Now that the Mach2 first run is getting ready to ship out when can we expect a CP4 software/firmware update so we can have multi-star model building in the Keypad Controller? Joe

Image posting test
I can see images through Gmail on the PC but not on my phone. Trying to search for anything in archives or folders is virtually impossible. Yahoo groups is very antiquated and useless I don’t know why

New Astro-Physics website now live!
I like it well done. I hope this means you'll be looking at making a much needed upgrade to this antiquated Yahoo group platform and merge to a modern user discussion forum. That would be very helpful

Defective CP4 control box
I can’t do that because of the way the CP4 was designed, with an odd connection cable that doesn’t work with anything but my dedicated power supply. It is a LiFePO4 20ah battery it is highly unlikely

Any special trick to not cross-thread AP1100 counter weight bar during install

A followup I had the gearbox cover off indoors running the mount with nothing on and the gears were running normally with the Keypad controller and using SkySafari with the iPhone's wifi connection. S
