why when I plate solve is my APCC RA off by an hour

Roland Christen #67312 If you set it to EXT, you will never have to disconnect it, and it will function for you in numerous ways without ever creating a problem. That's the reason we put this mode in there.

Ray Gralak #67294 After plate solving I moved the mount via APCC back an hour and found the Crab and centered it by imaging, then incremental movements. If you plate solved the coordinates that would result in an absolute RA/Dec sky position. If you were off by one hour then you could plate solve and sync (probably all-sky). Rememeber to temporarily turn off "Prevent Errant Recals" in APCC's Advanced settings. As to why it happened is a mystery. APCC reads the time and time zone from your computer. Maybe your computer didn't update itself properly if it's not running the latest Windows 10 updates. Or, are you running an old version of APCC or the driver? -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center): http://www.astro-physics.com/index.htm?products/accessories/software/apcc/apcc Author of PEMPro V3: https://www.ccdware.com Author of Astro-Physics V2 ASCOM Driver: https://www.siriusimaging.com/apdriver -----Original Message----- From: main@ap-gto.groups.io [mailto:main@ap-gto.groups.io] On Behalf Of steven ho Sent: Wednesday, November 6, 2019 9:15 PM To: main@ap-gto.groups.io Subject: Re: [ap-gto] why when I plate solve is my APCC RA off by an hour Using APCC Go To After plate solving I moved the mount via APCC back an hour and found the Crab and centered it by imaging, then incremental movements.
