A couple of years ago at NEAIC I heard someone, I think it was George, describe how to rotate the right ascension gear 180 deg so that it wears evenly on the opposite side. I have an A-P 1600 mount wi

Is there a way to set Daylight savings time or standard time using the ASCOM driver? I know this can be done using the Keypad, but I usually don’t have it connected to the mount. Software that I have

Hello all, I logged in to my remote system this morning and there was an error message in APCC saying that a fault had triggered because of low power. It was pretty cold last night (around -7C), but I

A quick question... I operate an 1100GTO and years ago purchased APCC Pro, though I currently do not have it installed. I may very well decide to install it in the future for that mount on a new compu

Hello fellow Astronuts, I've been meaning to try something new (for me) in my guided imaging. My setup consists of a 160EDF refractor on a mach2 encoder mount, a QSI-683WSG camera with off-axis pickup

Hello Astronuts, Had a couple of clear nights with reasonable seeing and decided to shoot a couple of objects that are well placed right now. First one is M33, which resembles sugar sprinkles tossed o
