Using APT - Custom, Store, & ToDo List with IC 2169

Best site to learn APT!

[@jturie]

Just wanted to thank you for this APT series. Finally got my 294MC Pro out last night on APT, and everything worked like a charm. Polar align with Polemaster, one-star align to Sirius, Bahtinov helper for focus, plate solve to synch, and then off I went to my targets which were nailed dead center every time. I can't begin to think how many hours you've saved me! On to PHD2!!!!

Thanks for the kind words. I used to spend so much time trying locate objects before plate-solving. I keep learning something new all the time. Cheers Kurt

Thanks Kurt - the Custom tab is great - I was using it this weekend and even had to add Gacrux as this distinctive star (here in Sthn Hem.) isn't in my list of stars which seems odd and I use it for alignment. Loving the plate-solve and Goto functions courtesy of your instruction videos. Anywho - keep 'em comin'. Cheers

where is the hand controller coming from?

[@AstroQuest1]

The hand controller came with the mount. Most mounts come with one.

[@chuck3814]

Yeah I get that. It just doesn’t look like the ascom controller

[@AstroQuest1]

@@chuck3814 Yeah, my controller is the SynScan Hand controller.
