I had similar trouble last month during the full moon when I was able to first test the new software version. After a few nights when I could test before the moon rose, the mapping runs worked perfect

Ray, I did review the images from the failed solves. The images from the failed solves will solve if I use ASTAP directly. The 30+ model run finished fine with only a failed couple of solves due to a

I changed the settle time to 5 seconds and started a mapping run. All the points have solved (already up to 9 points) so far. I assume that was the problem. Thanks psparkman. No I can try the new dec

I have tried for 2 more nights to get a mapping run to work. The plate solves always fail in the mapping run but the plate solves alway solve if I click the plate solve button in APPM or if use NINA.

Ray, I can plate solve and the pointing is spot on for that particular point from then on. If I try do do a mapping run the plate solves fail. I can stop the mapping run at any point and do a plate so

Ok. Thank you.

On initialization it unparks automatically. I have it set not to unpark. I remember from this group that there is a way to prevent automatic unpacking on initialization, but I have not gone back to re

I have an 1100. I always park with APCC. It parks properly except for the first time each night. Pointing is off significantly unless I repark after initialization and then loosen clutch in RA to get

Thanks Brent. Server was not enabled. I enabled server and now NINA camera works with APPM. Anyone have any ideas why plate solves fail in a mapping run but not if I click the button Plate Solve or Pl

Plate solve fail max time exceeded. It is set to 35 seconds now. Manual solves work almost immediately. I just one and it solved in .4 seconds.

With the new APCC, I have been unable to successfully complete a pointing model. I can slew to a star through APCC and solve successfully. Pressing the button “Plate solving and recal” will solve and

So Linwood, in APPM you are using the SkyX driver for the camera rather than the ASCOM camera driver. If I switch to the SkyX driver, I should be able to use Pinpoint for plate solving. I probably wil

First, I am huge fan of AP, APCC, and APPM. The 1100 mount is terrific (the modular components are genius and polar alignment adjustments are quick and easy), and the software is stable and intuitive.
