There is no way the scope will cause this problem, so it would do no good to send it in. You can send the field flattener and we can check it out, but I doubt very much that it can cause what you are

Hi Astro Buddies, I'm needing a portable tripod for Mach1 for occasional venture beyond home observatory. My main priority is ease of setup / leveling - No visual - AP use only. I probably won't use i

I can get an iPad and a PC to both be simultaneously connected via WiFi DHCP to the GTOCP4. They can have IP addresses that differ by 1 in the last digit so are on the same network. But they can't tal

Hello amazing Astronuts, We’ve just learned that some of the notifications we’ve sent to folks who signed up on the Mach2GTO notification list are landing in their Spam folder. We do not have contact

My name came up! I'm in Vermont, and it is very cold here. I'll image down to -20f, but it's pretty rare. (Clear Skies are rare in the first place). How cold are the standard encoders good for? I know

Everything has been running great with my AP1100, APCC Pro v1.9.4.3, AP 5.5.03, ASCOM Platform 6.6 Windows 10 Pro setup. Today, it did an update to 2022-2 Cumulative Update 21H2 from 2022-1. It did th

Updated PEMPro software last night then had attached problem running polar alignment wizard. At 9:37, it takes the fit image, then stops with the memory error message. There is no memory error on diag

Hi I sold my AP600 mount and I'm about to ship. Does anyone know if you can ship an item in a Pelican case without a box? It's huge with the box. I can't even carry it. Pelican and FedEx are useless.

Just exploring NINA and haven’t figured out if it’s possible to initiate an early pier flip? My 130 is partially under the eaves of my house and starts going under the eaves about an hour before the m

Ray, I had been doing some offline testing of a couple of automation software. In the process, APCC decided to use different virtual ports. When I went back to connecting online it would no longer all

Hi I have noticed that as the temperature drops here in Canada, my pointing accuracy seems to be getting worse. In addition, when I start everything up, and try to do a plate solve and sync in APPM it

I'm new to creating models in APCC and I have a few questions: Using NINA's Astro-Physics Tools plugin, can you create a separate Dec Arc Model for two targets on the same night? For example, I create

So I found my mount just about shoving my scope into the pier. - Stopped it , - turned off the mount and the confused controlling software (Nina and Ascom AP V2). - Reposition the mount to park 3 posi

I also am now “dead in the water” because APCC cannot create virtual ports. I am using APCC Pro v. 1.9.3.3, ASCOM 6.6-6.6.0.3444, Windows 10 64 bit with all updates installed. My Mach 2 is sitting in

I have a Mach 2 coming sometime in the next few months from a vendor. Most of my computer experience is with a Mac product. I am also used to using a PC to do charting as an Anesthesiologist in an ope

Hi, Recently I encountered a problem with Mach2. I am using a newly installed Win11, with all apps cleanly installed. The problem only occurs on this Win11 machine. As soon as I switch back to my old

Hi fellow Astronuts, Since being here on Hawaii island these last 2 weeks we have had incredibly beautiful weather with many clear nights. Which has allowed me to do some software/hardware testing of

Hello All - I'm the proud new owner of an AP 1600. As I get started with it, I'm hoping some of the experienced observers and imagers can weigh in on a few questions. Circumstances gave me a once in a

Hi everyone, I finally was able to use my new1100GTO(no encoders) the last few nights. It is setup on a permanent pier in my OBS. I use PHD2 for guiding and did a guiding assistance and it showed a la
