First, I take all advice from AP seriously, and use a separate power supply for my mount now (AP1100AE). After my first attempt at night at a dark site, I need to redo my battery planning. I ran dead

I’ve been using SGP to automate my rig for a while now, but I thought I’d give NINA a try. Things mostly seemed to work, but one issue is that the scope wasn’t parked in its usual position at the end

Greetings everyone. I am the recent lucky owner of an AP1600AE and I want to use it with my Celestron C14 for imaging. I want to build a "Micro" observatory in my small suburban San Diego back yard. I

Hello, I have been seeing this problem for several months now, and I would like some input as to what the nature of the problem might be. ***NOTE: I have also sent this same post to the PHD2 support g

Is there a method for APCC to load a DEC Arc model, either automatically, or from a remote command? For example, I have 4 targets, each has its own DEC ARC model which is saved in a folder with the ta

Curious if anyone has used the AP 13035FF with a TEC140FL? Thanks! Scott

I'm installing APCC on a new Intel NUC and having some issues that I didnt have with my prior laptop install. I've been following the document and dont think I've missed anything. I installed in this

Robert, I just spent some time on Pegasus-Astro’s forum and learned that I’ve almost certainly blown up my PPBA’s adjustable output. If you accidentally plug power input into this output – you can blo

The weather has been incredibly bad and crazy cold for over 2 months now, so I brought my mount inside to get some more practice with the mount and to try get to know APCC. So, I've got through most s

Roland, From time to time we’ve had messages pop up here with people wanting a smaller portable mount from AP. Something that would carry maybe 30-35 lbs and be super portable and lightweight. I’m won

Tony, Here’s what I have for my AP Stowaway… Baader 80mm AstroSolar ASTF Filter, fits 100-140mm OD (ASTF-80) Works very well! So do you allow on site camping? 🤣🤣🤣 Pete

Hello Roland Just wondering if you will have a solar filter available like the ones you have for the 130GT/X that was available prior to the 2017 Total Solar? Those are excellent. With the April 2024

I have two Powerwerx SPS-30DM power supplies, the first I got with the AP1100AE and the second I got because George was persuasive that I should dedicate a power supply to the mount. So A powers the m

Is there a video or document that details re-greasing an AP1600 mount? Craig

I just uploaded the file titled "Jim Phillips Very Early Catalog" to the catalog files section: https://ap-ug.groups.io/g/main/files/Astro-Physics%20Brochures/Jim%20Phillips%20Very%20Early%20Catalog.p

Howdy Astronuts, There seems to be a never ending discussion about the quality and suitability of these various glasses to make a highly corrected triplet lens. There is a common myth about FPL53 that

Looking for some quick help so as not to waste a clear, moonless night! I've been using my Mach2 with no issues for weeks. Suddenly, tonight when I slew to an object (using Stellarium), the mount send

Roland – very interesting, thank you for sharing this. A related question – with the proper mating elements, can FPL55 approximate performance of FPL53 and FCD100? I’ve heard conflicting information o

Hello Jim sent me two envelopes with catalogs. I opened the other one today and found two [2] more pages that should go with yesterdays upload. As such I am deleted the one from yesterday and the new
