Actually, I just managed to get the ASCOM serial logging working on my Vista PC, so I'll leave that enabled from now on, to hopefully catch some evidence of...
I have an AP1200 with a C-11 with a f/6.3 reducer. I have manually drift aligned and used PEMPro over several itetations to do a detailed polar alignment...
Ray, John, All also try to get some time on the stress tester. I concur, using ACP has been the only precipitator of this condition in my system. The only...
... As another data point, I am using a real serial port. No USB-->Serial adapter. No dew heaters. This event doesn't happen very often, but it is very...
... In a perfect world, maybe. But using an SCT compounds this issue because the main mirror can slightly move and sometimes even locking it down doesn't work....
Why is it that I cannot use a high com port number with my 900 or 1200 mount using The Sky software. Is this an issue with The Sky or the mounts? The Sky...
Wouldn't it be partly a function of the hardware you have between your computer and the mount? I have a 7-port USB hub and my computer thinks those are...
Stuart, I have an Edgeport that has assigned comports from 8 to 23 (16 ports). When I use 8 I get a connection, but anything above that gives me an error...
Norm, the other COM ports may be occupied by processes that you are not using. I think. I had a similar problem once and was directed to look in the hardware...
Hi John, ... Yes, I agree. But I know there are other automation apps, including PEMPro, that slew the scope, and I don't recall anyone report that error over...
Kerry, Dec drift can also occur from flexure, refraction, and moving optics. The upcoming AP Control Center will allow you to model the mount's characteristics...
Mark, If you can run the stress tester that would be helpful. Since I've been working on the ASCOM V2 driver lately it would be nice to know what I will need...
In a message dated 6/1/2009 3:38:12 AM Central Daylight Time, ... There is a very large possibility that the mount is not drifting in Dec, and the mechanical...
Hi Norm et.al. I have found that much of the equipment that we typically use in the robotic observstory likes COM ports below 10. Most of the equipment...
Norm: You can follow this link from bisque.com to reset your com port registry. After a year or two with various devices, I needed to reset the registry...
Hi Norm, Rick, Stuart and the rest! I am looking into this on my end as well as I can, although there are many of you with greater expertise in such matters....
In a message dated 6/1/2009 12:22:28 PM Central Daylight Time, ... Well, you know that the mount itself cannot drift in dec because it is not driven in Dec....
In a message dated 6/1/2009 12:53:08 PM Central Daylight Time, ... It cannot be a limitation of our servo controller becausre it cares not a whit what com port...
Occasionally I receive an email from someone asking about upgrading from PEMPro AP SE to the full version of PEMPro. I have worked out an arrangement with...
...and never the twain... Ooops! Wrong forum! I'm near Annapolis, MD, vicinity 39 04 N, 76 39 W. My 1200GTO CP3 thinks west is east and vice-versa. This is...
Hi David, Was the initial star initialisation done with the scope approaching the vertical? Perhaps the mount thinks the scope normally operates under the...
check the mount's lat/long and its time of day and time zone..... ... From: Brian Coote To: ap-gto@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 7:13 PM Subject:...
Thanks. No, I used a Kornephoros, which was about 37 deg above the eastern horizon when I started the evening at abt 21:00 EDT on 31 May. That's the area where...
ok, now it is clear..... you should have let it do the meridian flip and then things would be ok you can delay the flip too btw.... ... From: David Illig To:...
