Hi Marj, Any chance you would consider having a Losmandy plate compatible hole option (IIRC, 3-1/2" spacing) on the next batch of 6.5" anodized rings? It...

Robert, ... No, probably not. I have never used Cdc but I think it allows you to use ASCOM telescopes. Look for a setup button for telescope configuration and...
Hi Yves, ... This seems like a good possibility. If both the new and old ASCOM drivers were trying to access the com port TheSky might appear to hang until the...
Hello friends Sorry for my bad english.... Now i got a used Astrophysics GTO1200 with CP3. Im working with windows xp servicepack 3 I controll my cam (and...
John, Run FocusMax in standalone mode to change the telescope driver. Don’t connect anything else to the driver before doing this. The way I imagine the...

Hello Yves I just tried it again and thought maybe I had done something wrong to get it to crash, but ended up with the same. I could slew from in the sky, but...
Hi John, From which software did you initiate the slew (MaxIm or TheSky)? I did initiate the slew several times from TheSky 6 and got no such problems. Also,...
Hello group I have downloaded the new AP driver, everything seemed to load OK. I can load it into the Sky6 and Maxim. Problem is it crashes the new driver and...

Hi Joe, Funny you should suggest the pulse option for the LED. In a staff meeting this AM prior to reading your e-mail, we discussed adding that to our keypad...

Good morning! Is there any way to 'guess-timate', like within a 2 years accuracy window, about how long is the wait for a Mach1Gto? I had to ask :>) Thanks ...
Hi Peter, I thought about doing the same thing. Actually, it would have been nice if the Recticle power port from the CPx controller could have a "pulse" ...
I have attached magnetic prox switches like those used for home security. They are available in a normally closed contact configuration and with one double...
