Hi, last night, for the first time in several months, the sky was clear AND the seeing conditions were rather good over Paris (with low transparency and strong moonlight however). When I started autog

I’m learning the ways of my new (to me) MACH1GTO. I control my imaging with NINA and typically have two targets a night due to my limited Western sky. The first couple of times I ran the new mount, al

Can anyone tell me what the jack sizes are for the Focus, Reticle, and aux +6V jacks. The manual says they take 3.5 mm mono phone plugs but that is not the case with my unit and the plugs I have about

Here is my first light image with the epsilon 160ED riding atop the 900 GTO mount. This scope started out life as defective, made the round trip to Japan. Now all is good. I used a DSLR with 4.8 micro

Hi All Just did a major upgrade (ASCOM 6.6SP1, V2 driver 5.60.03, APCC Pro 1.9.6.3) to the software controlling my GTO1100. All seemed to go well until I start APCC. APCC on start up pops up dialog th

Hi everyone I need to adjust my image train backfocus which is M54 all the way through, but spacer tubes at this diameter seem to be hard to find and expensive Any leads on these? -- Brian Brian Valen

Looking at the regreasing kit I bought from AP it talks about removing mineral spirits with denatured alcohol. But doesn't mineral spirits just evaporate or is there a film left behind that the denatu

I finally got a full night with no clouds, so I went back to C/2022 E3. Horizons was really pretty straightforward, especially after watching Ray's video. And imaging unguided really does simplify thi

I am trying to connect my Mach 2 to my imaging PC via wired internet. I'm finding that then I connect an ethernet cable, the CP5 does not seem to recognize it - meaning it does not light up either at

Hello all, I can't find anything on AP's website about a weight limit for the Eagle tripod, does anyone know what it is? Would 150-160lbs be a problem? Eric

Hi folks, I'm looking for recommendations on a top quality bino telescope for my upcoming trip to Atacama to visit various large telescope installations and my own setup down in Obstech We are looking

Just spoke with George at AP. Boy was I way off with that $600 figure! Replacing the cable and battery plus a firmware update costs nothing like that. JimP Get Outlook for iOS

Hello fellow Astronuts, First really clear night in a month and that always means two things: Moon is full and it's bitter cold. The lack of clouds and haze means that the daytime air temperature will

Thanks. With the 110 GTX I'm looking at M42 with both a 4.8 Nagler and my 13 Ethos. The field in the Ethos takes in the entire sword of Orion - all 3 stars and then some. The nebula looks like a mythi

Hi everyone We're looking for a couple of APCC+NINA users on the latest version to verify a fix for the NINA Park warning. Please PM me if you have some time to test. So far it looks good on all our m

In AP document https://astro-physics.info/tech_support/mounts/park-positions-defined.pdf on the first page, it says "If you want a park position that can be accurately leveled, we recommend Park 5" Is

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my RA limits on my 1100 AE. I've set the RA limits to be about 30 minutes past the meridian on both sides. So in Park 3, it's 98 degrees awa

This is just to express my satisfaction, as I discovered this little gem in APPC. In my workflow the first step is to point at DEC=0 and Ha=1, to refine focus, calibrate guider and start the model. Ha
