[ap-ug] Hairy Beast
Hello, Roland, That is a wonderful image. Was it straight HOO or some other palette? Also, you seem to have a lot more Ha than OIII. I would have thought the opposite. Thanks, Clem ===================

Multiple instances of Astrophysics V2 driver
APT has an option to connect to mount automatically. Try turning that off. Maybe launch the ASCOM driver using CdC and then connect mount with PHD2 and APT. Clem ============================ My flickr

Hello Robert, Wonderful shot. Just curious about the subs you threw out because of high humidity. In what way were they so much worse than the others? I have been eyeing the ASI12600, so I need to rem

Recal remotely?
I have used ASPS. It does the job. I now use ASTAP which has its own catalogue and solves extremely quickly. Blind solve and "sync" should do it for you. Clem. ============================ My flickr g

Hello Terri, I think the software system is a lot less complicated than you perceive. For my Mach 1 I have just the A-P ASCOM driver. Anything that needs to talk to the mount talks to the ASCOM driver

Pulse Guide
Thank you Mike. I use PHD2 for autoguiding via ASCOM. I was just curious about this particular piece of software. Don't know if it still has any use, or just legacy. Clem ============================

Sync Mount to PC Time - Mach1 & GTOCP4

Dec gone crazy - 2017 Mach1GTO
I have had this happen with my Mach1 a couple of times. This is the batch without spring-loading. The PHD2 guiding graph would look so much like what we used to ascribe to stiction with my old CG5. I
