It is useful to plot your track log from a MaximDL CCD run to see what your periodic error looks like and also to diagnose tracking problems. I have written...
Hi all, I couldn't find this in the archives and apologize as it has probably been answered before. I recently acquired an AP900GTO to use with my ST-10XE....
There is another method, possibly easier, which I have used before. Proceed as follows: 1. Save out your error log as a text file. 2. Load it up in Wordpad or...
The Track Log will read directly into Excel without any tricks. Just use XL's "OPEN" command and tell it which directory. Select "All Files" for the filetype...
Hello There I just tested the Brand new AP1200 her in Denmark. and observed, that when my battery (70AH)(goes down to 11,4 Volt) there is still a lot...
Hello all, I installed the Brand new AP1200 mount on the pier as a practice run for setting it all up. Suddenly The RA motor move 1 hour west -just by itself...
I would use a regulated power supply. I have one for my backyard observatory and my remote imaging site as well. They require inversion from 12v battery to...
Hi Experts, I read in the AP web page on the AP1200 mount the following bearing specs: AP page: Each shaft is supported by 5 bearing elements, two preloaded...

... Michael: The power supply you said you use and provide a link to is a 110V AC in and 12V DC out at 10amps. They are not 12V DC in, inverted to 120AC and...
Soeren, It sounds like the short circuit in the connector to the DEC motor was drawing to much current from your supply to drive the RA motor. This is ...
Hello, I'm am current evaluating the AP900/1200 mechanical design against that of the ME with a view towards a purchase within the next couple of years. I have...
In a message dated 8/5/2004 1:40:23 AM Central Daylight Time, ... There are 6 lines going to the motor. Two are high current lines and the other 4 are encoder...

The original poster didn't mention if he was in a permanent or portable configuration. Actually Mike's idea is not a bad one for a universal power solution. If...
Another option that works *real* well is to get three 6v batteries and wire them in series.... Use deep cycle batties if you can get them. take care, Chris...
hi Cris, -thanks extra batteries ... I thougt of that -but only 2 in series (othervise The Total peak Voltage can reach 20 Volts) Then I must build a charger...
I ran out of time and clear skies imaging M8 and only had red and blue frames towards my RGB tricolor image. I averaged the 15 minutes each of red and blue to...

To: Rick, Thanks for the quick response! Where is that screw, and is it just a matter of taking the gear cover off and tightening or is it much more...
To: Rick, Thanks! Your comment finally reminded me of that proceedure http://www.astro-physics.com/index.htm? tech_support/mounts/1200gto/1200backlash to...
Hi James, It could be that the set screw is still loose and the worm gear mesh adjustment is only a temporary 'fix'. The cover of the assembly must be removed...

Soeren, You are correct - to do this yourself takes some effort. A diode is used to clip the voltage to safe levels (from three 6 volt, not three 4 volt). A...
