Hi all, I have recently decided to create a new PEC using PemPro (been about 1 ½ years since I got my AP1100. However, I have a few questions: 1) Do I need to disable APPM before running the new PEC?

This was begun at the April new moon and finished on the May new moon. Telescope: 12.5" Plane Wave. Mount: AP900 Camera: FLI Proline 16803 Exposure: 5hr 20min in LRGB Processing: Acquisition with Maxi

I just saw in the new products section of the A-P web site that they will be offering the counterweight shaft adapters with the stainless steel inserts starting this fall for the Mach 1, 900, 1200, an

Hi all, This is my first post, though I’ve been a long time Mach 1 (CP3) owner and I just bought a second used Mach 1 (CP4) for my wife. We shoot astrophotography two weeks a year on the Modoc Plateau

Another very cool video, Brent! Nice job! Karen AP

What effect, if any, does the seeing condition have on creating a model with APPM? Larry

Is there is a formal process for submitting software enhancement requests for the AP ASCOM driver or APCC? Thanks.

I am anticipating a AP 1100 in a few months, and have that plate on order for my Berlebach Planet tripod. From their website it looks like the attached. There is a “Pier/Tripod Control Box Adapter” th

First night out with my Mach2. How is this for different - a StarLink satellite is a tight round dot and the stars are streaks... :) The perpendicular movement at 00:24 is me making an adjustment with

Just wondering how other GTO owners with the larger thickness counterweight shafts are transporting them? 1200, 1100, 900 & Mach2 mounts all use the thicker style shaft. My Mach 1 has the thinner styl

I have an Intel NUC computer mounted on top of my telescope. I want the simplest tether possible from pier to scope -- DC power and ground. The NUC connects to my WI-FI access point and talks to a STA

Have been thinking of setting up two scopes (4" and 5") on AP1100, only 1 scope will be used at any time. A few questions on exactly how it should be configured/connected. - Piggy back vs side by side

I've just purchased APCC Pro to use with my 900GTO. I've carefully configured everything including horizon and meridian limits. Tonight it will be clear so I will test out the pointing model feature f

Had 3 good clear and steady nights which allowed me to capture the Whale galaxy (although it looks more like a Sardine to me). Used the AP 10" F14.6 Mak-Cass with our simple CCDT67 telecompressor to a

I am curious to know if using INDI for guiding a A-P mount can perform Pulse Guiding or is ASCOM the only format that does Pulse Guiding? aruckle

I'm trying to get some idea/context for the issue of DEC crosstalk to the RA axis during tracking/guiding. I see this as a topic that seems to come with different users in the Paramount forums almost

Hi, I have a Mach2. From what I have understood, APCC can take into account refraction when using a model. I wonder if it is possible to create a "transparent model", whose only effect would be to cal

Here’s what I’m trying to do. I have a Losmandy G11 and an AP 1600AEL. Normally in Fall/Winter/Spring my AP will be on a pier in an observatory. During the summer I’m toying with using a much smaller

Has anyone else seen anything like this before? During an imaging session with my AP1200, while guiding with an STi on a 400 mm f.l. 80 mm refractor, I noticed an occasional really large guiding error

Hi, some of you may remember back a few years that I ordered a case from MyCaseBuilder.com with a large, no, HUGE SKB case that held the 1100GTO set to 42° Latitude, DOVELM162, CP4, Keypad, cables AND
