Hi Haydon, I think Roland may have to chime in here. You have a Mach 2 with AE’s. I’m not sure if SkySafari needs to initiate in P4. When I initialize my non AE 1100 with CP4, I use APCC. Once the mou

When you first connect, is the SkySafari target icon on the southern horizon due south? You are in the Northern hemisphere, correct? Don Rudny

Make sure your ip address is 172.31.0.1 and the port number is 23.

All I can think of is to make sure the SakSafari App is set for current time and location. Also, make sure the proper settings are in for the AP mount.

Hi Hayden, When you first connect SkySafari to your CP4, the mount needs to be in the Park 4 position. There are instructions in the AP manuals on what that position is. It’s different depending on wh

Thanks, Chris for the tip on not having to park. I didn’t know that. I’ll try it next time. Don Don Rudny Pepeekeo, Hawaii

Hi Ernie, I have had this problem with my CP4 on occasion. It will disconnect in the middle of a session. If I try to reconnect, it asks for the password, but won’t accept it. The only way to reconnec

Just a suggestion, Andrea, but take some photos as you do this. It will help Roland assess things and document your efforts. Best of luck in finding the problem. Don Don Rudny Pepeekeo, Hawaii.

Kevin, If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is. Consider taking a pass. Paying a little more for a known quantity always pays off in a long run. If you do go for it, good suggestion on not

Thanks, Marj. Kulu is one of three cats that showed up at our house as kittens one day about ten years ago. She’s the only female and always comes out with me to the observatory when I’m out there. Sh

There’s always this solution. Don Rudny Pepeekeo, HI

Hi All, I just gave up on SkySafari and switched to Luminos. I had to use APCC to initialize to P3. Luminos lets you initialize in any position and has more controls of the mount like slewing and trac

Thanks, Bryan. I know that. I control the mount fine with SkySafari on my iPad. The issue came up with Roland’s new drift adjusting system that’s in the keypad. The mention of my displeasure with APCC

Hi Ray, Not sure of the exact price of the base AP1100 when I got mine, but AP does include standard APCC with the purchase of one now. They include the pro version with the AE 1100. To answer the las

Hi Ray, I think any imaging program would work. From my understanding the images just need to be saved in a folder that is watched by Atrack. It coordinates Pinpoint to plate solve the images and then

I use Starlight Live. I have PHD on my Mac also, so I could switch over to that for the calibration. That would require going through the PHD calibration on a selected star for each object and maybe e

Hi Rolando, Here is the link to the Pinpoint site. http://pinpoint.dc3.com/ There is a section on accuracy that suggests that it is very accurate. I’m not trying to say that any system is better than

Rolando, I haven’t used Atrack, but have been reviewing the manual and I believe the program continuously adjusts the drift rate as you capture images. They are saved in a file that is watched by the
