Last night I was imaging with my QSI683 camera through the AP 130EDF on my Mach1GTO and had an unusual thing happen. I was on my last subframe of the evening, at around 2am and suddenly I noticed that

APCC pro and PHD2 are used to control all mount movements during my sessions. I was imaging Saturday March 13th into Sunday March 14th, in the eastern time zone. My session continued through 2AM and t

I've seen many comments about the ability of AP mounts to slew to a counterweight up position with the scope on the east side, so that you can avoid the flip and continue west. Assuming I want to trac

Thinking about purchasing an AP 600 E GOTO for visual observations of double stars with my AP 155 F/7. Everything about the Mount sounds good except the seller says it has significant declination back

Altitude at park 3 should be 47 degrees. Site is correct. This happened before, not sure what the problem is. Wayne

Having finished my re-greasing, which involved removing the motors, I had to redo my PEC. I ran 6 worm cycles in PEMPro last night and generated a PE curve this morning. In the workflow PEMPro says to

I set up the meridian limits using APCC last night, and I have to say that it’s a very useful and easy-to-do process. It’s one of those things that you can read about, but you really need to do it to

I’ve used my MGBoxV2 with APCC on my old computer with no problem, but I’m switching to a PrimaLuceLab Eagle 4, and I have a problem getting the MGBoxV2 connected. I’m pretty sure I’ve installed all t

GTX + 16803 + Mach 2 should be illegal. 🙂 Excellent star HFD on focus, all the frames tonight are excellent in terms of star roundness. Not guiding at all.

Hi All. I received the Re-grease Kit for my GTO Mach1 today. I read through the instructions twice, but the steps are still not clear. The document jumps around quite a bit and covers so many differen

Been saving up to buy a used Mach1. Should be there by next Wednesday. If any of you new Mach2 owners have a Mach 1 you are willing to sell please contact me via private message/email. If the moderato

So like a buffoon I didn't have full charge on my battery but I let it run it's course as much as it could. Thankfully it made it through the imaging for the evening with no problems. Hours later when

Has anybody been able to make counterweight up slews work in APCC Pro when using Sequence Generator Pro Framing and Mozaic wizard to initiate the slew?

Hello all! I'll soon receive a brand new AP1100 mount which I'll be using for my C14 EdgeHD and AP160 scopes. Is it crazy to even consider mounting these two OTAs side by side on the AP1100? I should

This question is only in reference to the GTO mount, not the ota. So is it only the control box that should be protected against a heavy dew? Aside from the socket covers, does anyone use anything lik
