Yea, I don't know. My "intermittent" power cycle problem only happened when I tightened down that little screw-sleeve around the power connector. I didn't...
To: Ugly Dog I must have had an incorrect eMail address for you, or you might have changed your address? I posted 6 pictures of the first four made on the...
Hi Richard, Can you post some pictures on the gto group as well? I'd like to see what these are all about. Would these covers allow someone in a temperate...
December 1, 2003 Hello Randy, I live in La Canada, about 20 miles or so north of Los Angeles, and my scope and mount has been outside under the Soft-Dome for...
Richard: In the pictures, you show the cover snug on what looks like a fixed pier, but what about one who has a portable pier? Do you have a prototype/design...
Chuck, The parameters can vary very greatly depending on what you want. The computer program allows for 9 different inputs. These 9 inputs will then generate...
Hey Ken, Looks like ya shudda waited a little while. Or,,,,, you could sell yours and get this one designed to your exact specifications. Heck, you could...
Richard; How about posting the URL for your tents in your Signature Line. I'd like to take a look at your web site. Thkx...joe :) "May You Go Among The...
Hi Joe, I don't have a web site. I'm just a regular amateur astronomer like you. I just end up making whatever I seem to need myself. It does seem that usually...
Hi Joe, You got that right as these scope covers sure fit the bill. They seem perfect for the 130f6 and mount. KenS ... Heck, ... pieces ... cover ... of the ...
In a post a couple of weeks ago, Mike stated that the AP controller automatically performs slews such that they always approached the coordinates from the same...
Jim, Which posting are you referring to? When a slew command produces DEC motion, the mount deliberately overshoots the desination by 10 arc minutes, and then...
Hi Mike, Without going back to look for the specific posting, you were describing how the controller works during the discussion about the DEC motor that...
Hey Jim, If I remember correctly Bob said not to use the consistent approach option if the mount already has this. I've turned mine off in ACP3 and all is...
Thanks, Steve. Yeah, I'm the one who told Bob that the AP controller had that feature! I'm thinking there might another way to accomplish what I'm looking ...
If there's a wishlist of features for the servo controller, adding something like this would be really nice. It would take the uncertainty of timing precise...
I was very excited about going to this years Chiefland Star Party 1) to test out my new (slightly used) 900 GTO mount and 2) to meet some of the AP family that...
What clock setting accuracy is necessary for general GOTO use? It seems like a relatively innocent question, but I'd sure like some outside input. My...
Hi Chris, ... Likewise. It was great meeting you. ... No problem. I did kind of feel like AP tech support while I was down there, but I had a ton of fun doing...
Maybe an AP guy will correct me, but... I believe it only has to be fairly accurate for planets & the moon. For stuff that's not orbiting the sun, I'm not...
Can anyone tell me if the autoguiding cable from my ST-7E will work on a Pictor216XT to connect to my AP600E GTO for guiding?? It LOOKS like a flat 6 pin...
... Thanks Mark, Didn't you say you were sending me your extra ticket? <grin>. I am going to try to make it. I really would like to go but have to get a...
Chris, I got one the last two years on Amart though this year I do have a ticket already Might try and want add on there Mark ... From: "Chris Hetlage"...
Does the AP1200 GOTO use the LX200 protocol commands. If so, I am curious if the GPS-Mate from BC&F Astro-Engineering can be used to set the lat/long/date and...
Nice images Chris. A pleasure seeing you again as well. Scott Hammonds ... From: "Chris Hetlage" <chrishet55@...> To: <ap-gto@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
