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

Hi Guys When I want to try tonight, I bump into a new problem the APPC is set in RestAPI and the mount is found at address 192.168.0.3, but the ASCOM Driver indicates 127.0.0.1:59590 (which is the cor

The origional owner of my AP1200 was about 2 degrees south of me. Im at 45 degrees. Do I have to move it to 3rd position to the 2nd position or just raise the polar axis with it in its current state.

I've not been following along completely with the park issues and Nina. So I don't know wether or not it was fully fixed. It's able to unpark for me, but when I park I get a message saying "Park Opera

Hi All, I hope everyone had a great Christmas with friends and family. After seeing long-time imager Chick Vaughn's recent shot of Orion's Belt with a Canon lens [ http://astrophotography.aa6g.org/Len

Roland, I'm up early to catch 2022 E3 ZTF with the Stowaway this time and in looking at the map, it looks clear in Illinois. I hope you are up ;-) Here is a quick 70" picture, but I think I can get 80

I received the mount with clutches engaged, so I assume it’s fine to store the mount that way. Is there an issue with keeping the clutches tightened while mount is stored in the case and/or transporte

Hi After having used successfully APPM w/ my Two Cameras through SGP, I've migrated to NINA and QHY600. The new Cam is correctly connected to NINA and I get the images frames, but when I try to use AP

I'm in the southern hemisphere so awaiting the February 8 appearance of the comet. Best I can do is steal other people's images. I posted earlier about creating a comet mosaic. These recent images sho

Hi everyone (Edit: I should have mentioned this is unguided imaging on a 1600ae 5 min exposures) Sharing a very modest 3 hours of integration time on NGC 1909 Witch Head Nebula. https://www.astrobin.c

A new review from Ed Ting of the 130GTX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbl6kiawnNg I can't say the smell of the foam made any impression on me. I do admit the thunk when stuff from the focuser gives
