Powered by the adapter provided with the mount. handset firmware 3.39.05, ascom SW driver 6.0.6262, Ascom platform v6.4. Never really had an issue when using handset or Stellarium control, only APT via Ascom.

Bought Skywatcher 130P flextube dobson last year and ever since this hobby is growing on me. Several scopes later I have 127Mak with AZ Goto (secondhand) and now looking into first steps into the deep sky... I am blessed with a site with no light pollution in the middle of nowhere, and this summer has been cloud free most of the weekends. I look forward to getting my first Messier objects captured with my DSO rig I am looking to build Glad I have found this community, lots of knowledge to learn from. Cheers!

Hi, I am using this old AZ Goto mount for my Mak127 planetary viewing. Wanted to control it with APT app, which can control via ASCOM platform, but ASCOM drivers have one issue - the mount doesn't react to North/South movements. It slews well on Azimuth, but as soon Alt axis is touched, the whole thing goes bananas and stops responding to any commands. Diagnostics work well. On the same note - Stellarium works flawlessly, but via direct connection, not ASCOM. Any ideas welcome, as I would really love to control all hardware with just one single application... Thanks!

Mak127 on AZ Goto + ASI120 color, captured on Sharpcap, 1000 frames stacked with Autostakkert. First attempts in planetary... All criticism or advise is welcome.
