Hi, I'm seeing this happen more and more frequently (several times last night, for example): everything seems to be working, and then all of the applications that connect to the mount (NINA, PHD2, Car

Hi, I did a 200 point model yesterday with my new AP1100 yesterday while the moon was out. It dropped to -30C. It was very effective with an average duration of 35 sec / point and no failed points. Th

Hello friends: Could an owner of an 1100GTO mount please give me an accurate dimension of the diameter of the baseplate? Not the diameter that would fit inside a pier, but rather the larger diameter o

Hi group, Just recently took an image of M1, the Crab Nebula, from my backyard observatory in Huntington, NY, on Long Island. Image was taken with an AP 130mm f/6 refractor, Mach1GTO and the QHY 268C

Hi, I just installed APCC. I was planning to use ASTAP for plate solving, but it does not appear in the dropdown menu in APPM. I have ASTAP installed and working on my computer. I checked and confirme

It would be nice to just slew to a certain alt az coordinate to do the recalibrate at the start of a session. Thanks

A Canadian on another Groups.io forum brought up the question of USB3 cables in sub-freezing temperatures. Many of us are using CMOS cameras that only work on USB3. And most USB3 cables get very stiff

I just built a new NUC for imaging and it appeared all the software was working except I'm not able to connect APCC environmental conditions to the Power box. The NUC was loaded with the most current

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

Hello, I have been trying to clean up the wiring that runs through my Mach1 because it is a mess and second I have a new pier that is crimping my space below the Mach1. Ideally I would like to run one

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
