Hi everyone I am sharing a recent 'fix' i have for accessing mini computers that aren't responding to remote desktop: Last night i could not access my mini computer via remote desktop, despite having

I'm getting this error with APCC Pro 1.9.4.3 "FindFreeQacIndex: no free entries." The AP V2 ASCOM driver starts up ok but APCC can't connect. Hoping for a quick answer without providing log files etc.

Does any SGP user know if a Sync behavior is better or Target Offset ? Does a Sync corrupt the APPM model? Shailesh

I have an AP1100. Last night I connected to SGPro and I received a notification upon connect (via TSX or even just V2 ASCOM) that the mount does not support pier flip. Here is a snippet from SGP [02/1

I have an AP1600 and a Mach-2 both have their own license for APCC Pro. The laptop controlling the 1600 is getting long in the tooth and needs to be upgraded. Do I have to clear the license from the o

If there was a feature from astrophysics that I thought I would never use or be interested in , was the weights up capability to avoid meridian flip. As it turns out, it is one of the most important o

Hi, I am trying to configure an old 900GTO with CP3 hand control and everything works fine with last V2 Ascom driver but 2 things. When try to guide with PHD2 mount go crazy and stars leave fast like

I know plate solving is a "black" art. Over the last couple of months I've been able to make 1 small 26 point map and I don't know how or why (I'm pretty good with PHD). I'm using an ASI 2600mm with 3

Hi, Since last update the AP driver does not move the mount via the button panel. Controlling the mount via planetarium program is fine. I tried with the AP utility and it moves the mount. I can see t

Hi Peter, This is not a bug. If the mount is pointing at/near the pole, rotating the RA axis will not change the position very much. This is the expected behavior of all equatorial mounts. Instead, lo

Hi fellow Astronuts, Here is a quick image cobbled together from a short imaging run of M42. 9 x 60 seconds to test out the 110GTX scope with the TCC on the ZWO 6200 camera.So what can you get in less
