I just took delivery of a new AP1200 mount with the pasill4 polar alignment scope. The illuminator doesn't seem to be working. If I remove the illuminator...

Is this in the daylight or at night when you can't see the LED illuminate? It is quite faint when running off of the 2 batteries since all it has to do is...

I keep thinking the name is Sliding Spring, but the observatory in Australia is in fact Siding Spring. This 13.4 magnitude comet(?),was formerly designated an...
I will double check cables and flexure. (cables are already fixed to the plate). In my opinion I'm wrong with the guide parameters, last night I made some...
Max, My set is similar.. AP900, SXV-H9, Guide head, Borg 45 guide scope, TV101. Last year after first starting with this setup, I had exactly what you are...
The problem is the led in the illuminator. Yesterday, I hooked up the illuminator from a pasill2 and I can't see any light from the illuminator modules if I...
After testing it with the other polar alignment scope illuminator, I now suspect that it is the CP3 control box. The other illuminator was working with my CP2...
Interesting. I haven't tried it yet with the battery pack. Only with the supplied cable from the CP3 controller. I will try with the battery pack and be...

I moved my AP900 into my new observatory this past week. PemPro measured PE without correction at 4.6 arcseconds, way to go Roland! PemPro then reduced PE down...
Thank you Rolando! this was clear to me. Yesterday night I was out guiding and everything was OK, the RMS was around 0.035, the camera almost not guided...
Roland: Do you think the 14" LX200R is too much for the AP900 to image with? It would have about a 10-12 pound imaging train and only a Mini-Borg 50mm...
