Replacing a thru the mount cable whilst scope is on an AP 1600GTO
It is possible. I have an AP1100AE and when I originally installed it, I ran my data and power cables through it before mounting the OTA. But subsequent to that, I had connection issues running my 2 i

Projecting APCC Meridian Limits on a plantetarium program
The reason I asked this question is due to having a potential cable snag if I slew to the East in the normal CW down position. It is at a remote observatory and I can't fix it for another few months.

Copy APMM model from one computer to another
Hi Ray, I think I did that, but I will check. I was working initially on both computers and then, one day, it was off by 90 degrees on startup. But your comment that a model for each is best makes sen

Hi All, I run 2 imaging systems on my AP1000AE and use 2 independent computers to run each system. I do this because I have had driver issues running both on the same computer. I built a pointing mode

Eric, I always park in position 5 and it is there now. I assume I can use that instead of only park position 3?
