Hi Roland, Prior to this guiding run do you have a model built in APCC? Khushrow

Patiently waiting for my Mach2. I loved my 1100GTO when I first got it in 2014, upgraded to the encoders last fall and love it even more. So, I can’t wait to get my Mach2, hope the low temp encoders c

Hi Michael, I just added the encoders on my 1100GTO and when I built a model my pointing was also way off. After reading the manual I figured I needed to do a plate solve and recal. This is also done

Thanks Roland! With this post and a couple of emails from George I am all set with checking out the performance and working on unguided or nudge guiding when I image. Khushrow

On RA the LED is green, and on the DEC it is blue, so the fact they are not red is good, but what do green and blue mean? I have the AE tab on APCC-pro and the encoders are enabled. I would like to as

I have just upgraded my 1100GTO by adding the absolute encoders and last night I tested it out for the first time. I ran a pointing model, a modest one to start, 33 points. After this I had the tracki

I know this topic has been discussed but I was not able to find the information I need so requesting again. I just added the absolute encoders to my 1100GTO and setup APCC Pro. I have ASOM platform 6.

I have the SB portable pier and also the MX permanent pier. I have an ½” thick aluminum plate that I custom made to bolt on to the piers and then tapped ¼-20 holes to mount the 119FSA on to the alumin

Is there a way to evaluate how well the mount is tracking when unguided? While guiding this data is available on the screen or the PHD2 log files. I was asking this question of my observatory mate who

When the nudge/minimal guiding gets activated is it based on exceeding a minimum movement or do you use some other parameter on which the guiding nudge occurs? The image is beautiful, especially with

Is the 1hr sub unguided with the Mach2? Khushrow

Can I generate a PEC curve using TheSKyX for the AP1100GTO or do I have to use PEMPRO? Thanks, Khushrow

How can I tell if the mount is on the correct side of the meridian when I am starting an imaging session? And how do I force the mount to the correct side of the meridian if it starts to go to the opp

Rolando, Thanks for the instructions. Khushrow

I have some questions on control of the AP1100 through the keypad- 1) On power up after I select my location, can I query the controller through the keypad to see what the longitude and the latitude h

George, Great! Thanks, Khushrow

How do I enable the loaded PEC profile through the hand controller? Thanks, Khushrow

I have just received my AP1100 mount. On the keypad (ver 4.17) when I go to the mount type selection I only see three types, 400, 900, and 1200. It had defaulted to 1200, so is this what I use for my
