Now that our long California rainy period seems to have cleared up, I was happily imaging last night, sitting in my living room couch processing while the telescope was working outside, when I clearly

I don't post images that often, because I am humbled by the others that are so good at taking images of the sky. However, today is a joyous occasion, and an advertisement for why you want refractors,

Beautiful image Jeff! Congratulations on your new-to-you camera First Light! Stuart -- Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/

This is a quick process without calibration frames, I need to take those and reprocess later. This picture to show the changes from the past few days. 1/21/2023 6:30a - 8:30a UTC Astro-Physics Stowawa

Hello guys I found this video on YouTube. If you look closely you will see a piece of equipment you may recognize (HINT 1m 17s) :) The Best Place On Earth To View The Stars https://www.youtube.com/wat

Hi Since I installed the latest APPC pro version with the latest version of AP V2 driver, I cannot connect at the FLI ASCCOM Kepler driver anymore Do you think you could help me?! Best regards Fred

I have installed the most recent versions of APCC, Ascom drivers from both AP and Ascom 6.6SP1. Everything connect fine in NINA. When I try using AP point mapper below I get the following error. I am

I’m using SkyTrack to track the comet. SkyTrack opens a separate AP ASCOM driver. No other application I use does this. Why is this and does it matter? Everything seems to work fine with two AP ASCOM

Hello all, I just updated both APPC Pro and the V2 driver. I am following the AP Youtube video showing how to set it up to connect with REST AP. When I click the "find mount" button, the list is blank

Hi everyone Continuing some widefield imaging, this is about 10 hours on this target unguided on the AP1600ae with ASI6200mc (yes broadband) and SV80mm w/0.8x reducer from Obstech in Chile: https://ww

I switched out a camera and rebalanced the scope on my AP1100 with AE. Meridian flips no longer work with SGPro. My previous SGPro settings which worked were 2 min past meridian, now even 20min past t

I have not used Horizons until now. I just downloaded the ephemeris data for C 2022 E3 (ZFT). From Sky Safari I know that in my location (suburban Sacramento, CA) the comet is expected to clear obstac

What information is saved in the APCC settings file? Does APCC save hardware configurations, telescope parameters, 3D view, sites, etc, in the settings file? I’d like to have a separate settings file

Greetings. I've been a lurker on this forum for quite a long time but this is my first post. I've owned a Mach 1 GTOCP4 for a few years and recently bought a lightly used 900 GTOCP3 for permanent inst

I am interested ( only with APS blessing) in setting up 2 TOA150 side by side on the 1100AE. currently they each have their own mount( 1100 and 10um gm2000). I would much rather put it on the astrophy

Hi all. I’ve just had the good fortune to purchase a MACH1GTO mount as an upgrade from my trusty Losmandy GM-8. The mount will carry a Traveler, guidescope, cameras and a UPBv2. My MO is to set things

I learned how to track on a comet using Horizons. I made a 138 point point model, thank you Ray and George. The image was produced with an AP-140 on a Mach-2 and QHY600M.

Hello everyone, I want to try using Horizons with C/2022 E3 and I'm assuming that creating a pointing model in APPM would be a good idea. So, does anyone have any suggestions on making a quick model f

I'm wondering what my expectations should be for DEC ARC modeling? I'm using a 180mm F7 scope and ASI6200mm camera. Last night I built a model around +34 degrees (IC 417) +- 1 degree with 3 degree inc

I just posted an image that was taken in October last year, but which I have just recently re-processed. It was taken with the 110mm GTX Starfire refractor and a ZWO6200 MM Pro. At 1.4 arc sec per pix
