Hi Astronuts, We've been working to install a new camera (ZWO 6200) on our 12" astrograph at Las Campanas remote site. Got it working last night for the first time and took two short snapshots. Wind w

Hey Astronuts, Lowbrows, and Buckeyes— Unfortunately I didn’t save the emails, but someone on one of these groups mentioned having a PlaneWave CDK14 on a Mach2 mount, and another a Celestron C14 on a

Not unexpected; nevertheless, simply AMAZING! 😎 Pete

I am considering building a ROR and the roof height is 90 inches if the scope is in Park 5 and 115 inches if in Park3. For the first time I tried Park 5 in APPC and it generated a tracking fault due t

Springtime has sprung ! The few imaging nights I had available gave me this view of Messier 94, also know as the Cat’s Eye Galaxy. My goal was to capture the faint large outer ring. No supernova, but

I had planned to keep the AP900GTO I purchased at home to play around with, but the failure of my MYT's MKS5000 board and no replacements available at this time, has put me in a spot that the AP900 is

Hello, my name is Tim from Germany. i bought a used Mach 1 GTO (early Model from 2009). Because i didn't know, if the mount ever had a service, i did an overhaul, removed the old grease and applied th

I went with M51, because... I like it? We went out to Borrego Springs, CA to get away from the constant overcast here at the coast, and that part worked. Unfortunately, seeing was not great, and there

My AP1600GTO-AE sits on a AP portable pier (10x42P) and I’m building an ROR observatory around it. I might need a few to several more inches. Does AP or anyone else sell 10” diameter pier extenders ?

Ok.. here’s about the best I can do in this timeframe… my PI skills are not great… I imaged M101 on thursday night pre-supernova, so I had conveniently had that data… then I imaged M101 Friday night a

Hi, Where can I find a replacement power cable for my AP1200 CP3 mount? I recently purchased this mount second hand but it didn’t come with a power cable and the one on AP site is discontinued. There’

Hello friends, Takahashi had the mind to release a new 1.5x Extender for the already epic E160ED. So I pulled out its best friend and trusty companion, the AP Mach 2, and put this new corrector to the

This error always occurs at start-up . I NEVER use Park-1, Park-4 is ALWAYS used. I have pressed the "pinkish" . The FTDI drivers have been installed. The V2 driver has been uninstalled and reinstalle

Hi everyone I found this recent video very interesting regarding cooling fan vibrations degrading imaging results, particularly distorting star shapes, along with some suggestions for how to address t

I have a TEC180FL with FLI PL 16803, and suddenly plate solves stopped working. I cannot platesolve ASTAP or TSX image link. The only thing that works is the blind solve with astrometry.net I have che

When building all-sky models, I consistently see large corrected dec errors in one area of the sky - east side, low declination. It is not really causing me problems but if it is something I could cor
