Just a quick question: What does the blue LED shining through the little hole at the bottom of the RA housing indicate? Thanks - Shane -- Shane Ramotowski kor@... https://www.kor-astro.net

My chief financial officer (a.k.a. wife) has given me tentative approval to purchase a set of absolute encoders for my 1100 GTO mount, and I have added my name to the notification list when a set beco

Would anyone know the size of the rings? Judging by the Powerwerx site I think they are either 3/8 or 1/4 inch but not sure. Thanks Bob

Hi, While waiting for my Mach2 to be shipped, I would like to familiarize myself with APCC-PRO. The plan was to install (which I did) and register the trial version until I get the license included wi

Hello, I am unable to activate Pempro. I just received my mount and have everything else connected and up and running but for the life of me I can't get Pempro activated. I have searched the forums (s

The RA axis on my Mach1GTO (104xx series) is getting quite sticky in RA. I've searched and found reference to the nylon clutch plugs sticking (not sure it applies to this mount) and reference to docum

Hi gang, I am the proud owner of a brand new (well 2 weeks) Mach2 and tried to do my first APPM model tonight. I'm having problems with the dome control and hope someone can point in the right directi

Got my notification today! What are the weights needed for ax40 pound load on a ap1100? Thanks!

Just received my Mach2 and very happy with it. Until I get a permanent setup, I set up and break down my system just about every time I use it. I have APPM working, but I was thinking last night that

Normally, I have SGPro do the meridian flip, but I’d like to set my Mach2 up to stop at some time past the meridian as a safety, in case my computer dies. I realize I could edit the meridian limits, b

I will put in my 2 cents on this. Back in the day I put my name on the list for a 400 as I wanted a smaller mount to go with the 600E. I wound up with a Mach1 as the 400 was superseded by the larger m

We have the first clear night that we've had in a while. I noticed that APCC had been updated, so I installed it. When I started the latest version, it flagged my CP4 firmware as out of date. I would

If one were to ship a 1600, first generation back to AP, would you folks be able to do an absolute encoder install on it? Time needed for that? Moving from SE Arizona to very rural and dark NM. Observ

I think this question is for Ray Gralak; I've gotten very comfortable with APPM and use it every time I set up for imaging. I only have a partial view of the sky and I set up runs of between 49 and 87

Here is the question, some nights here are quite warm, about 20º C, resulting in a large number of useless frames, other nights are colder and there the modeling I have works perfectly. And I was wond

Are these sold in a set separately? I could use a spare set if so. If anyone knows the part number I can look up that would be helpful. Otherwise I can call AP on Monday.

Hello Astronuts, To clear up any confusion about mount encoders, both Mach2 and 1100/1600 use the same Renishaw RESA high resolution encoders. The main difference is that the ring diameter of the 1100

Howdy, First off, love the MACH2GTO-L. What an amazing piece of engineering and precision machining. Kudos to your engineers and machinists. The manual discusses the home position as, “... a very spec

I was following instructions to update the CP4 firmware through the USB. I opened the utility and selected the com port of the mount and proceeded to load the zip file. Pt.2 loaded fine, then instruct
