Bil, First you have a fine image with a lot of detail. The tracking looks good and stars are sharp. The image does look a little noisy. Some of that could be...
Is anyone using an AO7 on an AP1200 mount? I have been using the AO7 to great advantage with a LX200, but will be installing an AP1200 soon. Is there any need...

Hi Neil, I rarely use my AO7 anymore on my AP1200 mount for 2 reasons: 1) I use ACP almost exclusively for unattended imaging. Doing that requires a separate...
Although I have never used ACP software, I have been looking at it and likely acquiring it sometime in the future. I just read through the guiding section and...
Hi Rick, Glad to. The issue is guider FOV, not anything technically with ACP using the internal guide chip/AO7. It will use it just fine. However, to use ACP...
My original posting cited Barnard's loop in H-a with a 50 mm lens and SXV-H9 camera. I just discovered (to my considerable embarrassment!) that I used the...
Jim, and excellent summary as to why it is 'necessary' to have a separate guidescope! I was thinking about using one anyway, but after this discussion, I can...

Yves, I was so delighted about the news that I forgot to think about your problem. If you use the Sky you have for my opinion to tell the program that you have...
Konstantin, I found it by accident when browsing AP web site a few days ago. I remember you also asked for this protocol command a few months ago. Please let...
Konstantin, I never heard about such command in TheSky. Maybe Daniel R. Bisque may tell us about a such command. I also use TPOINT and I think (not sure) that...
