great tips on using APT, thank you

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

As always some great tips 👍 please keep the APT videos coming. Cheers from Mark

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

Best site to learn APT!

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