Gotta be honest, headline scared the bejeezus outta me. I've been evacuated too many times.

I used to go there all the time when I was in the south bay. Great viewing especially when the fog rolls in to cover Salinas and Hollister. Clear skies!

If it already has the flat plate adapter (119FSA) on it, just get the ADATRI and bolt it on. The Mach2 bolts to that

The Planewave version of the CDK 14 is 19" in diameter according to this http://pw-ecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/140101A-OVERALL-DIMENSIONS.pdf. I do think this OTA is too much for the Mach

I guess not all of us were watching cartoons in the 60s/70s

I managed to get SkySafari working on mine as a test case. I don't ever use the mount visually, but I love SkySafari6, so I gave it a shot. Works fine through APCC Pro.

I still have shin scars from snorkeling near coral on Maui

It looks like it would place the eyepiece upside down if you mounted on the left.

Thanks for chiming in Dale. This is exactly what I am looking for. I am in need of understanding 1.11 builds of NINA as I am still using 1.10. Getting the astrophotography capture software to interact

Thanks Andrea, I am doing something slightly different, I think. I am trying to predict when the flip might occur so I can tell my imaging software what to do. APCC is set to flip at the meridian limi

I now have my Mach2 humming along pretty well. I have set up APPC Pro with horizons and meridians and a pointing and tracking model. Where I am stuck is with meridian behavior. I know that my mount ca

That is an interesting piece of kit. I would need to think a bit about where I would put it. On the other hand, I was successful in getting my run going with SGP as I have a license for that. I had tr

Thanks Marcelo, I had the API key from years ago, but I set it wrong in APCC. I had to choose ASCOM.OCH.ObservingConditions as the driver so I could select my PowerBox for temp and humidity, but use O

Thanks Marcelo, I have OpenWeatherMap API key stored in my ASCOM settings, but the pressure still appears editable in APCC pro, so I do. Not sure if I am missing something somewhere.

PS. I am using a Pegasus Astro Powerbox which has real-time temp and humidity monitoring. I enter the atmospheric pressure manually.

Thanks for the response Ray! I am using a fairly well sorted and tied down set-up. I have a 120 mm refractor, so no mirror issues as of now. As for the rest of the randomness, who knows. I am not look

Good tip Brian. I will do a 100 or so point model in the mean-time, before I can do the 'whole hog'

I think I will make good use of the full-ish moon to make a much bigger model.

Thanks Roland. I won't be moving it.
