Hi. I'm trying to run APPM with MaxDome II. The first image attempt at the zenith fails due to the dome being 180 degrees off. The scope is on the west side of the mount / counterweights on the east.

Hello All, I have used my AP 1100 GTO for several nights (using just the keypad) and I have noticed that I have never been able to achieve all the Park positions (1-4) simultaneously. After speaking w

Greetings. I posted this on SGP forum as I think the issue is mostly on their end, but thought that I would also post it here for help. Generally pier flips have been working with SGP 4.0.0.680 and AP

If I wanr to close the driver the only way I can do it is by clicking the "OK" button. The normal cross at the top right hand side has never worked for me. Is this a feature, or am I missing something

Do the old 800 mounts have serial numbers ? If so where do I find it ? I have an old 800 mount that I bought in 1992 that I am thinking about selling to help pay for absolute encoders when they become

Hi, I am not even sure I know where to start here but something is not right. First I need to point out that I have had a perfectly working setup in the past with my AP600 and Voyager and PhD Guider.

I'm trying to finally use APPM. (with nina). I updated my license. (106.00 is there sales tax on a license?) anyway. I start the Point model and after the first exposure. I get this error. Invalid flo

I will be trying some flexible tool buckets for the 1100GTO. Nominally 12" diameter x 15" high I added a Kydex sleeve and a 1" thick closed foam disk in the bottom to keep the buckets upright and roun

A-P appears to be out. I have a DOVELM162 for trade if that is amenable. I've had ads on AM and CN for a little while with no luck.

Hi I received my dovelm162 saddle plate for my new ap1100 and it appears that the springs are too short. If I put the saddle horizontally, the clamps hang down into the way of the telescope dovetail m

Hello Ray, I have a slight "slop" (similar to backlash) in my RA axis when I apply light pressure in rocking the telescope back in forth, which I believe is due to insufficient mesh between the worm g

I have a 1200, and use the SPA Standard Pier Adapter <https://www.astro-physics.com/900spa> to mount it on my concrete pier. The pier is 12" diameter, but reduces to 10" at the top, and the SPA attach

Question for Roland. Did you try the big AP175 on the Mach 2? I am pretty sure I remember the 160 in the tests, but can't recall if the 175 was ever attempted. Bill
